Universal Studios Hollywood sets an opening date for its new Fast & Furious attraction, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The theme-park resort has been building anticipation through fan demand after earlier promotional material, including a Super Bowl commercial that previews what guests can expect from the high-speed coaster.
Multiple outlets report that the ride is positioned as a major addition to the park’s roller-coaster lineup. ComingSoon.net says the attraction is scheduled to open to guests on September 16, 2026, in the park’s Upper Lot. Deadline similarly highlights the attraction’s emphasis on speed, describing the experience as allowing riders to travel at up to 72 mph. Together, the reports indicate this will be a first-of-its-kind outdoor, high-speed roller-coaster for Universal Studios Hollywood.
The coverage focuses on slightly different angles: Deadline emphasizes the lead-up to the reveal and the ride’s top speed, while ComingSoon.net foregrounds the official opening date and location within the park. Both agree the franchise’s racing action is being translated into a new coaster experience.
