Winning’s winning, and Angelenos are all about to win with the opening of Universal Studios Hollywood‘s newest ride, “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.”
The ride will officially open in the summer of 2026, according to new press release. Its release coincides with the 25th anniversary of the first Fast & Furious film and the release of the newest franchise film, Fast Forever.
Here’s everything we know so far:
The Los Angeles theme park’s first-ever, high-speed outdoor roller coaster has begun testing, complete with crash test dummies. According to a press release, the new coaster will feature “360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles as guests travel along 4,100 feet of elaborate track—the equivalent of nearly 12 football fields—constructed with sound reduction technology.”
An homage to the iconic Fast & Furious movies, the ride uses groundbreaking technology to create “a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at fast speeds while speeding along an aerial track that winds its way over sections of the theme park.” It’ll even wind over the multi-level escalator between Universal Studios’ Upper and Lower Lots.
The ride’s four vehicles will be designed to look like iconic cars from the franchise and are currently still concealed, but one of the cars has been confirmed as Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger. Guests will queue up within an expansive garage-like structure. The remaining ride vehicles will be revealed at a later date.
Fast & Furious Franchise star Vin Diesel will also lend his voice to a new teaser trailer that’s airing soon on The Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LX and the NBA All-Star game on NBC and Peacock.
