US Edition'Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift' to open at Universal Studios Orlando
- On Tuesday, January 20, 2026, Universal Orlando Resort announced Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will open in 2027 at Universal Studios Florida.
- Replacing the former Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which closed in August 2025, the new coaster will rise on the former Rip Ride Rockit site between the former Blue Man Group building and Universal CityWalk.
- Design details show the coaster will include a 170-foot vertical `spike` sending riders nearly 17 stories in the air, slightly taller than Rockit’s 167-foot peak, with 360-degree drifting vehicles.
- The park will remove Fast & Furious: Supercharged in 2027, and Universal said it is "another exciting example" of growth, adding the new coaster to the award-winning Universal Orlando Resort coaster collection.
- Universal Orlando positioned the coaster as the park's next major addition, while Universal Studios Hollywood will debut its own Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift later this year with a different design.
