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

[Magic-Man]

Do we know where the merch for this ride will be? I'd be surprised if there wasn't a gift shop somewhere. Maybe it'll take over the Mummy extended queue/tribute store space?

Midway Mayhem is bringing the photos.

I have to admit even though I have coaster fatigue with Universal this looks miles better than Rip Ride rocket.

Still would’ve preferred a dark ride or any other attraction.

Too early to declare Orlando > Hollywood based on track layout ? No offense to our California friends.

I think they’re going for two different things.

For sure , they are two different track layouts with the same name. So people will no doubt compare them. I still think they should name it after New York .. or hell.. Orlando ?

Orlando Drift is closer to West Colonial Drive (Hwy 50) near Ocoee/Winter Garden on a Friday night (or it used to be)

Agreed, and there's nothing wrong with that. Though I will say, unlike Hollywood, Orlando doesn't have to worry about noise levels.

 

[Disneyhead]

This seems pretty accurate.

That last inversion is going to be sick.

This might just be an inversion, but it’ll be about half a second if it is. Will be really interested to see the profiling of the roll at the top because this almost looks like a non-inverting loop profile, just with the roll starting very slightly later to give a fraction of upside down. Nice coincidental callback to HRRR.

USF Needed a coaster.

Dare I say it could use one more over the water…

2 big coasters at each park is perfect.
Epic is the one that’s “too many” (if that’s a thing).

I think they’re going for two different things.

Which makes the naming convention even that much sillier. But that shared AI art costs dozens of dollars. So you need to save somewhere!

They're definitely wasting no time in completing the layout, just in time for them to get to work on the paths to the soundstages for HHN. Speaking of which, Bio did notice some crates on site marked as HHN.
