Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift Construction UPDATE MAY 26 2024 Universal Studios Hollywood

Universal Studios Hollywood announces its first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift,” set to join the theme park family in 2026.

Inspired by Universal Pictures’ blockbuster Fast & Furious film saga, this dynamic new thrill ride will enhance the guest experience with innovative technological achievements never before seen in a roller coaster.

The state-of-the-art ride system is uniquely designed to immerse guests in the high-speed Fast & Furious universe. Highlights include groundbreaking 360-degree rotation of individual ride vehicles as they rocket along an elaborate track constructed with sound reduction technology for a superior experience. These features will create a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin at furious speeds.

“As a premier entertainment theme park destination with a rich history of 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,” said Scott Strobl, Executive Vice President & General Manager, Universal Studios Hollywood. “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 dynamic theme park. We look forward to welcoming guests when it races onto the scene in 2026.”

“Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” will be located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood. Guests will queue up within a large red brick, garage-style structure before settling into the ride vehicles, modeled after several authentic cars featured in the films, and catapulting along an aerial track winding over parts of the theme park.

The “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” roller coaster will benefit from Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades-long expertise in revolutionizing contemporary roller coaster development across its global theme parks.

The ride will join Universal Studios Hollywood’s slate of groundbreaking attractions, including the interactive land SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™, featuring the critically acclaimed “Mario Kart™: Bowser’s Challenge” ride; “The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™” with its Hogsmeade™ village, “Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™” and “Flight of the Hippogriff™” rides; “Jurassic World—The Ride”; Illumination’s award-winning “The Secret Life of Pets: Off the Leash” and “Despicable Me Minion Mayhem”; Springfield, U.S.A. and “The Simpsons Ride™”; “TRANSFORMERS™: The Ride-3D”; and “Revenge of the Mummy—The Ride.”

The new roller coaster will become a marquee ride alongside the theme park’s signature Studio Tour attraction, commemorating 60 years of moviemaking magic this year. Since 1964, the Studio Tour has offered guests a front-row seat to filmmaking magic on an authentic movie and television production studio backlot, providing an exclusive peek at original film sets, including Jupiter’s Claim from Jordan Peele’s NOPE and Courthouse Square from the Back to the Future films, as well as such experiential attractions as “King Kong 360-3D,” and the eerily realistic “Earthquake—The Big One” simulated natural disaster attraction.

The Fast & Furious film saga is a phenomenon. For over twenty years, the franchise has stoked passion in an ever-expanding audience and earned more than $7 billion at the worldwide box office. Universal Pictures’ record-smashing, homegrown Fast & Furious films have become the studio’s most profitable and longest-running franchise. Across social media platforms, the movie and cast fan following has grown into the largest of any active franchise.
