Welcome to the Universal Studios theme park family, Fast & Furious. Universal Studios Hollywood revealed today that its new roller coaster based on the Fast and Furious film franchise will officially launch in 2026.
The ride is called “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” – a nod to the third film in the Fast Saga, Tokyo Drift.
“As a premier entertainment theme park destination with a rich history in 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, EVP of 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 already dynamic theme park, and we look forward to welcoming guests when it races onto the scene in 2026.”
Universal Studios describes “Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” as a dynamic new thrill with a state-of-the-art ride system. Highlights will include groundbreaking 360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles as they rocket along an elaborate track, meticulously constructed with sound reduction technology for a breathtaking, superior experience. These attributions will create a seamless sensation of drifting cars as guests spin in motion at furiously fast speeds.
To further add to the immersive experience, 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 that winds its way over parts of the theme park.
The Fast & Furious film saga has thrilled audiences for over 20 years now; it’s Universal Pictures’ longest-running and most profitable franchise.
“Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift” will open in 2026.
