Today Universal announced that the upcoming Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift coaster will be the faster rollercoaster in the company’s portfolio clocking a staggering 72mph!
The theme park revealed a first look at the coaster rendering (see above) along with an animated video showcasing some of the cool elements of this Fast & Furious themed experience.
Construction is ongoing on this Intamin designed coaster as guests will go on a unique adventure that will feature 360 degree rotating cars along 4,100 feet of track.
The fully rotational ride vehicles will create a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at furiously fast speeds while being catapulted along an aerial track that winds its way over sections of the theme park, including the multi-level escalator that connects the Upper and Lower Lots.
Scott Strobl, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Universal Studios Hollywood said:
“Watching the progress of this incredible roller coaster come to life istruly spectacular.
2026 is just around the corner and we are equally as excited as our guests to introduce such an inspiring new ride to our theme park portfolio.‘Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift’ will be a powerful game changer for Universal Studios Hollywood that will not only transform the topography of our destination but will infuse an entirely new level of adrenaline to our already dynamic theme park. We lookforward to riding it ourselves and to welcoming guests to experience it in the very near future.”
The queue will see guests go through a garage-like structure before settling into one of four ride vehicles designed to look like iconic cars from the film including the beautiful Veilside body kit orange Mazda featured in Fast & Furious: Tokyo Drift.
