Universal Studios Hollywood Sets Summer 2026 Opening for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift

Universal launches a Vin Diesel–narrated ad campaign across NBC and Peacock to introduce the park’s first high-speed outdoor coaster.

Overview

  • The coaster’s 360-degree rotating vehicles will cover 4,100 feet of track and reach speeds up to 72 mph.
  • Located on the Upper Lot, the track will sweep over sections of the park, including the multi-level Starway escalator.
  • Universal says the design incorporates sound-reduction track technology to reduce noise for nearby neighbors.
  • On-track launch testing began in October with four-car trains accelerating to 72 mph along the hillside route.
  • Universal confirms a distinct Fast & Furious coaster for Universal Studios Florida in 2027 on the former Rip Ride Rockit site.
