The Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift ride has officially soft opened at Universal Studios Hollywood as fans flocked in their droves with every camera you can think of strapped to their body to capture this brand new coaster at the park.
The eagerly awaited coaster introduces the fastest roller coaster at a Universal Studios park with a top speed of 72mph. It will feature groundbreaking 360-degree rotation technology designed to create a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion while careening along 4,100 feet of elaborate aerial track—the equivalent of nearly 12 football fields—that winds its way over sections of the theme park, including the multi-level Starway escalator that connects the Upper and Lower Lots.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will launch as Universal Pictures kicks off the 25th anniversary of the blockbuster Fast & Furious franchise and its final theatrical release, Fast Forever, slated for March 17, 2028.
I want to give a huge thank you to socalthrillzone for kindly providing our sister site Lift Hills and Thrills with some onboard footage of his first ride on the new coaster. WARNING: He gets VERY excited as anyone would do who loves roller coasters so much so we’ve also attached a third-row video which is much more chilled than the first.
