Fast Furious Hollywood is officially racing toward the finish line. Universal Studios Hollywood has confirmed that its highly anticipated new attraction, Fast Furious Hollywood Drift, is scheduled to open in summer 2026, marking a significant expansion for the park’s thrill ride lineup.

The new attraction will be Universal Studios Hollywood’s first high-speed outdoor roller coaster, inspired by the blockbuster Fast & Furious film franchise. Construction has been steadily progressing, and the summer opening window signals that guests will soon be able to experience the franchise’s signature street-racing action in coaster form.

What to Expect from Fast Furious Hollywood

Fast Furious Hollywood Drift is designed to immerse riders in the high-octane world of fast cars, daring maneuvers, and adrenaline-pumping moments. While Universal has not yet released full ride statistics, the attraction is expected to feature:

  • A high-speed outdoor coaster layout
  • Theming inspired by Fast & Furious vehicles and locations
  • Intense thrills tailored for coaster enthusiasts and franchise fans alike

Once open, Fast Furious Hollywood will join major attractions at Universal Studios Hollywood including SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, Jurassic World — The Ride, and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, giving the park another headlining experience.

A Similar Fast Furious Hollywood Attraction Coming to Florida

Fast & Furious Coaster

Universal isn’t stopping in California. A similar Fast Furious Hollywood–themed coaster has already been announced for Universal Studios Florida, with an expected opening in 2027.

The Florida version will be a distinct attraction, featuring its own layout and ride elements, and will serve as a major new addition to Universal Studios Florida’s thrill offerings. Universal has positioned the upcoming coaster as a next-generation evolution of the franchise within the parks, signaling a long-term commitment to the Fast & Furious brand.

Why This Is a Big Deal

With Fast Furious Hollywood opening in 2026 and the Florida counterpart arriving in 2027, Universal is clearly investing heavily in high-energy attractions tied to proven blockbuster franchises. For fans planning trips to either coast, the next two years promise exciting new reasons to visit Universal parks.

As Universal Studios Hollywood prepares for the summer debut of Fast Furious Hollywood Drift, more details, including layout specifics and an exact opening date, are expected to be released in the months ahead. Stay tuned for updates as Universal puts the pedal to the metal on its newest attraction.
