New Aerial Photos Show Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift Coaster Taking Shape

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Maintenance Building Rising at Universal Studios Florida in New Aerial Photos

Construction is racing ahead at Universal Studios Florida as the upcoming Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster continues to take shape behind the scenes. New aerial photos from Bioreconstruct reveal significant progress on the attraction, including the steel framework of what appears to be the coaster’s service building rising quickly in the construction site.

The steel structure is now clearly visible from above, showing multiple levels of framing that will eventually support the building’s walls and roof. Workers can be seen installing rows of metal roof decking across the top of the structure, gradually closing in the upper level of the building. Construction equipment and material staging areas surround the site as crews continue assembling the framework piece by piece.

The building is positioned near the back of the coaster site, tucked between existing soundstages. Based on its location and size, the structure is likely tied to ride operations, potentially serving as the service facility for the new coaster. A large construction crane towers above the site, helping crews lift steel beams and roofing materials into place.

Wider aerial shots show the massive scale of the overall construction zone, stretching across what was previously backstage space behind the park’s New York area. Large sections of cleared land, foundation work, and construction equipment mark the footprint of the future coaster.

The track layout for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is expected to run from the back of the park toward the waterway near Universal CityWalk, weaving through the area as part of a high-speed outdoor coaster experience. Once complete, the attraction will bring Universal’s street racing franchise to life with a launch-style coaster designed to simulate high-speed drifting, bringing the Fast & Furious franchise to life in a whole new way.

While Universal has not yet announced an official opening date, the rapid progress on structural elements suggests the project is moving full throttle as construction continues across the site.
