Universal Studios Hollywood has begun testing its newest roller coaster, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.”
The ride will be the theme park’s first high-speed outdoor coaster, featuring fully rotational cars designed to simulate the signature drifting action of the “Fast & Furious” film franchise.
The state-of-the-art attraction will be manufactured by Intamin. It will cover 4,100 feet of track and incorporate sound-reduction technology for an immersive and quieter adrenaline rush.
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.
Riders will queue inside a garage-style structure before boarding one of four cars inspired by the franchise’s iconic vehicles. Universal Studios has previously revealed one of the ride vehicles, a model of Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is set to open in 2026.
