Universal Studios Hollywood is to bring the Fast & Furious film franchise to the roller coaster world by creating a ride at its Hollywood park ready for the 2026 season.
Called “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift,” the roller coaster will present a “groundbreaking 360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles as they rocket along an elaborate track.”
Much like the film, the ride will be geared up to create a sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at high octane speed.
Guests will queue up in a garage-type building adorned with red bricks before travelling on board modelled cars based on the films.
Universal has promised the ride will “elevate the guest experience with innovative and technological achievements never previously employed in a roller coaster.”
Scott Strobl, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Universal Studios Hollywood, explained further details: “As a premier entertainment theme park destination with a rich history in immersing guests in incredible rides based on today’s most inspiring movie, television and gaming properties, we are excited to introduce our very first, high-speed outdoor roller coaster.
“As Universal Studios Hollywood continues to evolve, the arrival of ‘Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift’ will be a powerful game changer that will infuse a new level of thrill into our already dynamic theme park, and we look forward to welcoming guests when it races onto the scene in 2026.”
