If you’re a Gen-Y guy or gal (or any other generation) whose automotive knowledge was seeded in the movie theater, read up because you’re going to want to hear this: Universal Studios Hollywood has a new roller coaster called Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift that will be taking over SoCal starting in the summer of 2026.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will be the first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood. It features a “groundbreaking” 360-degree rotation of individual cars that “makes a seamless sensation of drifting cars as they spin in motion at speeds up to 72 mph.” Will it give you the same heart-pounding thrill that the Fast & Furious universe does? You tell us!
You’ll have the following cars to choose from: 1970 Dodge Charger, 1997 Mazda RX-7, 2002 Nissan Skyline GT-R, and 1994 Toyota Supra. No, they won’t be running 10-second quarters, but they will be doing things that you’d never want to experience on the street.
