Just like there’s nothing more thrilling than driving in a speeding convertible, there’s no Universal Orlando roller coaster more thrilling than Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in Universal Studios Hollywood
While the ride is open at Universal Studios Hollywood, its Universal Studios Florida counterpart is still under construction. But we have an update, because we just got an amazing first look at the ride testing that just started!
Universal Orlando is actively testing Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in Universal Studios Florida. In a video by @bioreconstruct on X, formerly known as Twitter, we can see the track switch! When the switch is on the right, cars will ascend a 170-foot vertical spike. When the switch is on the left, cars will descend, then rise into a very tall inversion. Just press play to watch the video right here!

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in Universal Studios Hollywood is 170 feet tall, so the spike in Orlando will be a similar height. Just look at how tall it is!

In addition to the roller coaster’s track, Universal is currently building service walkways fitted with access stairs to perform future maintenance. Thanks to @bioreconstruct, we got a great look at the rectangular steel frame (at the yellow arrow) where stairs will be installed in the future! If we’d ever have to hop off the ride from there, imagine how great a view you’d have of the track!
