Project 830 - Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-It Replacement

[DrStarlander]

Even if this coaster is good, using F&F for a new attraction right now feels lazy imo.

There seems to be a general lack of enthusiasm for this IP being invested in for theme park use. But anyway, I'm still curious what it will be called:

• Fast & Furious: NYC Drift
• Fast & Furious: New York Drift
• Fast & Furious: Manhattan Drift

or

• Fast & Furious: Brooklyn Drift

I'm placing my bet on New York Drift because it the most vanilla option.

Fast & Furious Finally a Fab Coaster

I mean it’s replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit - wouldn’t it just be called Hollywood Drift?

It's in the middle of New York. Rockit was in Production Central when it opened, so the Hollywood name made sense.

I really wonder if they'll do Florida drift. If they do Orlando Drift then even more people are going to call is Universal Studios Orlando.

It’ll likely be called New York Drift.

The queue/station for Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket was ostensibly in Hollywood (Production Central is basically an extension of Hollywood sits it’s mimicking a Hollywood studio. The new ride’s queue/station is in New York.

They can’t call it Hollywood Drift because 1) the queue/station isn’t in Hollywood and 2) they have to differentiate it from Hollywood’s ride. They’re very unlikely to name it with an association to Florida or Orlando because nothing in the park has a direct association to Florida/Orlando other than the park name…

Now… if the queue/station was accessible from CityWalk, then yeah… I could see it getting a Florida name. But based on what we know? It’s NY Drift.

There's also the possibility that the name of the coaster isn't any variation of "_____ Drift". There are other name options out there.

I’ve only been to NYC once in high school, but there’s one glaring problem with New York: There’s nowhere to drift. Traffic is gridlocked everywhere lol

I know the area the ride is set in is NY, but is there anyone stopping them from calling it Florida Drift?

It’s seriously the most boring, non-creative, bare minimum choice possible. But oh well. Big coaster go fast - so it’ll be fun.

The Osaka coaster in the front of their park is called Hollywood Dream.......it's not truly relevant but thought I'd mention it

Is that area of the park named/themed as "Hollywood"? The equivalent for this project being New York?

 

[ParkRumors]

If we’re speculating about names, why not something more fitting for the studios park?

Fast and the Furious: Backlot Drift
Fast and the Furious: Studio(s) Drift

Or something even more generic like:
Fast and the Furious: Drift Coaster

But also, like it’s already been mentioned - they could easily come up with a name that doesn’t have “____ Drift.”

I suspect Tuesday’s announcement will be very similar to the initial announcement for the Hollywood coaster - a logo with the ride’s name, the opening year, and maybe a piece of concept art.

Fast & Furious: Race through New York

 

[rhino4evr]

Wonder if there will be any Easter eggs on this , like one of the cars has ECTO1 as a license plate.

Rac

Fast & Furious: Race through New York

Yes. Great idea.....Racing attractions...Coaster vs. Simulator....Never happened before.....Who wins !

It's been mentioned, but I am curious to see what the area looks like at the entrance of this ride. Will they reconfigure that area and put a food booth/merch location?

When it's all said and done, will they even be able to have HHN queues back there again?

(my guess would be no on a food booth, because they didn't even do it for Supercharged lol)

They will be a gap where the old HRRR station used to be, so that will be where people would enter for HHN.

Replace Jimmy Fallon’s Race through New York with the Backdraft special effects show from Hollywood and Japan. Then the new coaster can be called Fast and Furious: Backdraftdrift.
