As Universal Hollywood gears up for the summer season, fans of the Fast and Furious franchise will soon have a new reason to visit the theme park. The highly anticipated high-speed coaster, Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift, is set to debut in Summer 2026, promising an exhilarating experience for thrill-seekers. The coaster, the park’s first of its kind, is themed after one of Universal’s biggest blockbuster franchises, bringing the excitement of street racing to life.
Narrated by Vin Diesel, the iconic star of the Fast and Furious series, a thrilling 30-second television spot offers a sneak peek at the Launch moments and intense curves that await guests on Hollywood Drift. Designed to fully immerse riders in the Fast and Furious cinematic universe, the coaster will provide the sensation of high-speed street racing, all without needing a driver’s license.
Located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood, the attraction will be housed in a striking red brick, garage-inspired structure. Featuring cutting-edge 360-degree rotation technology, the ride vehicles will spin as they move, simulating the feeling of drifting cars navigating sharp turns at incredible speeds. With a track spanning 4,100 feet (equivalent to nearly 12 football fields) and speeds of up to 72 miles per hour, guests will be in for a heart-pounding experience.
Adding to the excitement, the track will soar above parts of the park, including a breathtaking pass over the multi-level Starway escalator that connects Universal’s Upper and Lower Lots. The coaster promises to be as thrilling to watch as it is to ride, offering an adrenaline-fueled experience for visitors.
Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift arrives as Universal Pictures celebrates the 25th anniversary of the Fast and Furious franchise, marking its evolution into one of the most successful action series in film history. As the coaster debuts, it sets the stage for the franchise’s final theatrical chapter, Fast Forever, scheduled for release on March 17, 2028.
In a world where entertainment and adrenaline collide, Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift brings the excitement of street racing to life in a way that only Universal Studios Hollywood can deliver.
