Family! We just got some huge news about the new Fast & Furious coaster coming to Universal Studios Hollywood!

The coaster has been under construction for a while, and we knew that 2026 was the year it would open. But now we have a more specific timeline — summer 2026!
Universal Hollywood just shared this promo video for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift on social media:

At the end, it reveals the summer 2026 timeline. Summer technically starts on June 21st, so we expect the official opening date to be after that!
This will mark the first-ever high-speed outdoor roller coaster at the park, hitting speeds up to 72 miles per hour. If that’s not enough thrill, the individual ride vehicles spin and do a 360-degree rotation to give the sensation of drifting cars.

This isn’t the only huge Fast & Furious theme park news we got recently! Universal Orlando just announced that a new coaster would be replacing the now-closed Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, themed to the popular movie franchise. This one is set to open in 2027!

Around that time, the controversial Fast & Furious — Supercharged ride, which opened in 2018, will permanently close. No word from Universal on what will take over that building…but we have our wishes! (*cough cough* Back to the Future *cough cough*).

We’ll keep our eyes peeled for an official opening date for both coasters, so stay tuned to AllEars for more theme park news.
