Coaster Track Installed at Fast and Furious Hollywood Drift Site in Universal Studios Florida
Things are shifting into high gear at Universal Studios Florida as the first visible sections of coaster track for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift have officially arrived on site near CityWalk. New photos shared by BioReconstruct on X show freshly installed track pieces rising above the construction walls at the former Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit location.

The newly installed track sections were placed on May 22 and already reveal several interesting details for coaster fans keeping a close eye on the project. One visible section includes a clearly marked track section ID painted onto the end of the track, while other portions feature mounting brackets that appear designed for future safety netting installation.
The silver track itself is attached to deep blue support columns, creating a striking visual contrast that is already changing the skyline near the entrance to Universal Studios Florida.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which closed to make way for the all-new coaster experience. While Universal has remained fairly tight-lipped about many specifics, the attraction is expected to feature spinning coaster vehicles themed to the Fast & Furious franchise.
Interestingly, Universal’s version of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift opening at Universal Studios Hollywood later this year will share overall theming and ride vehicles with Orlando’s coaster, but the actual track layout in Florida will reportedly be completely different.
That means Orlando guests can likely expect a much more expansive and custom-built experience designed specifically for the Universal Studios Florida footprint.

The new coaster is currently scheduled to open in 2027, but with track now visibly rising above the construction zone, the project is finally starting to feel less like concept art and more like a real-life NOS-powered reality.
