Fast & Furious Coaster NEW Details Revealed

Universal has shared that when Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift opens in 2026, it will be the fastest roller coaster in the Universal Destinations & Experiences portfolio, reaching speeds of 72 MPH! This is also faster than any Disney theme park attraction around the world.

The coaster will feature 360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles to simulate the sensation of drifting cars. It will take riders to these high speeds along 4,100 feet of track, constructed with sound reduction technology. The track will reach over sections of the park, including the escalator connecting the Upper and Lower lots. Construction is currently underway for the ride.

See the newly revealed concept art of the coaster below. This new ride is going to be a great addition to the park, which currently doesn't have a major thrill ride unless you count The Mummy!

The entrance to this new ride will be on the Upper Lot, where the queue will be in an “expansive garage-like structure.”

There will be four ride vehicles, designed to look like the iconic cars from the films. The ride vehicle that is modeled after Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger is currently on display at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The Dodge Charger Fast & Furious ride vehicle is on display during Universal Mega Movie Summer, from June 13 through August 10, 2025.
