Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (USF) - Opening 2027

This will attract even the non coaster fans like Hagrids does.

I would be surprised. Hagrid's has a level of theme and design that this clearly will not, and it is more accessible to a wider pool of guests on a thrill level.

VelociCoaster feels like the appropriate comp (i.e. thrill-seekers will love it, and that will be enough for it to be a successful draw).

I just don't see, "the general public will not care" and "this thing is [insert value judgment here]" as incompatible thoughts. The Toyota RAV4 is going to be the best-selling car in the United States in 2026. I personally think it is substantially worse than many of the vehicles it's competing against. If you disagree, fair enough! That's the whole point! But I don't think, "well it's popular so actually it's good" is much of a counter argument.

I didn’t like Rockit and its premise of filming a music video was flimsy as an excuse to justify its presence in this park. But people liked it cause it was a coaster.

This coaster will at least be based on a Universal film franchise, is responsible for killing Supercharged, and even if I never ride it, it’ll be better than a lateral move replacing Rockit cause F&F fits better in the park purely by being a real movie property alone.

I don’t care where it’s located in the park, as it’s clearly tradition. F&F didn’t belong in San Francisco either.
