ORLANDO, Fla. — Universal Orlando Resort is gearing up for its next adrenaline-pumping attraction with the announcement of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, a high-octane outdoor roller coaster slated to debut at Universal Studios Florida in 2027.
Replacing the longtime Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, the new coaster will put guests directly into the fast-paced world of the Fast & Furious film franchise. Designed to deliver an immersive, high-speed experience, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift promises a sensation rarely found on traditional coasters — 360-degree drifting paired with dramatic, precision-engineered maneuvers.
One of the attraction’s signature elements will be a 170-foot vertical “spike,” launching riders nearly 17 stories into the air with sweeping views over the outskirts of Universal CityWalk before plunging back into the action.
Universal says the new coaster will join its growing lineup of award-winning thrill rides and reflects the continued expansion and innovation led by Universal Destinations & Experiences. A separate, one-of-a-kind version of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is also set to debut later this year at Universal Studios Hollywood, giving fans on both coasts new ways to experience the blockbuster franchise.
As part of the transition, Fast & Furious – Supercharged will permanently close in 2027 to make way for the new attraction.
Additional details about Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift are expected to be released in the coming months as Universal Studios Florida prepares to usher in its next era of high-speed thrills.
