Universal Orlando Shows Off Jaw-Dropping 170-Foot Spike for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift

Universal Orlando is stepping on the gas with another exciting look at Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, giving fans their closest look yet at one of the coaster’s most eye-catching elements. A newly released video showcases the attraction’s towering 170-foot spike, offering a glimpse of the adrenaline-filled experience awaiting guests when the coaster opens at Universal Studios Florida in 2027.

The video begins by racing through the entrance to Universal Studios Florida before soaring toward the massive vertical spike that now dominates the park’s skyline. Earlier this month, construction crews celebrated the completion of the structure by topping it off with an American flag alongside a Fast & Furious 25th anniversary flag, honoring the film franchise that first debuted in 2001.

What makes this element even more thrilling is what riders will experience. As coaster trains climb the towering spike, the ride vehicles will rotate 180 degrees, leaving guests facing the opposite direction before plunging back down into the rest of the high-speed course. It’s one of several innovative features that promises to make Hollywood Drift unlike any other coaster at Universal Orlando.

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which permanently closed last summer after entertaining guests for more than 15 years. Meanwhile, Fast & Furious: Supercharged is also preparing to take its final ride, with the attraction scheduled to close next month to make way for the franchise’s exciting new chapter.

Universal hasn’t revealed many details just yet, simply teasing fans to “Klown around and find out” while promising more information is on the way. Even without a full description, the announcement has longtime Halloween Horror Nights fans buzzing. The bizarre characters from the 1988 cult classic have become one of the event’s most beloved recurring properties, first invading Orlando with a scare zone in 2018 before receiving a full haunted house in 2019. They also returned to Universal Studios Hollywood in 2022.

The announcement continues to build what is shaping up to be one of the strongest Halloween Horror Nights lineups in years, especially as the event celebrates its 35th anniversary. Confirmed scare zones now include Infernal Carnival of Nightmares starring Jack the Clown and Dr. Oddfellow, Sideshow of Decay, and Killer Klowns from Outer Space. The haunted house lineup features Stranger Things 5, Sinners, Hellraiser, Jack & Oddfellow: Chaos & Control, H.R. Bloodengutz Presents: A Halloween Fright-Tacular!, Cybergoria, MADLANDS: Caged Cannibals, and INVASION: Alien Abduction, with only two house announcements remaining.

Disney Testing New Rope Drop Procedures at Disney’s Animal Kingdom

Early mornings at Disney’s Animal Kingdom could soon look a little different. Disney has begun testing a new rope drop procedure that gives day guests more room to spread out before the park officially opens, and it could make those first few minutes of the day feel much less crowded.

New Rope Drop Procedures Being Tested at Disney's Animal Kingdom

Instead of holding non-resort guests in the Oasis, the area just inside the park entrance, Disney is now allowing them to enter Discovery Island before the official 8:00 a.m. opening. While the shops remain closed until the park opens, guests can take in the atmosphere, enjoy views of the Tree of Life, and even stop for early morning PhotoPass photos while they wait. Disney Resort hotel guests continue to receive Early Entry beginning at 7:30 a.m.

When it’s time for Early Entry, Disney has designated separate waiting areas throughout Discovery Island. Resort guests are verified by Cast Members before heading into the park through one of three access points leading toward Pandora – The World of Avatar, Expedition Everest, or the former DinoLand U.S.A. bridge. Non-resort guests wait at those locations until the park officially opens, creating a more organized flow into each land.

Disney has confirmed this is currently just a test, and Cast Members say procedures could change from day to day while the company evaluates the new system. If it proves successful, the updated rope drop process could become a welcome improvement for guests by reducing congestion near the entrance while giving everyone a little more breathing room before the adventure begins.

Whether you’re heading straight to Avatar Flight of Passage or racing toward Expedition Everest, our friends at Get Away Today can help you plan the perfect Walt Disney World vacation with great prices on resort stays, tickets, and vacation packages.

Guest Suffers Fatal Medical Emergency After Riding “it’s a small world” at Magic Kingdom

A medical emergency that occurred aboard one of Magic Kingdom’s most beloved attractions has been confirmed in newly released state records. A 54-year-old guest suffered a cardiac medical emergency while riding “it’s a small world” at Magic Kingdom on April 24, according to information released by the Florida Department of Agriculture & Consumer Services and first reported by TMZ. The guest, who reportedly had a pre-existing medical condition, was transported to a local hospital where he was later pronounced dead.

The details of the incident were only recently made public through the state’s latest quarterly attraction incident report. While the medical emergency occurred during the attraction experience, there is no indication that the ride itself caused the incident. “it’s a small world” is one of Walt Disney World’s gentlest attractions, featuring a slow-moving boat ride through colorful scenes filled with hundreds of singing Audio-Animatronic dolls.

The news comes just weeks after the attraction made headlines for a separate incident when a guest’s portable phone charger caught fire near the loading area on July 1. Disney confirmed Cast Members quickly extinguished the small fire, evacuated guests as a precaution, and reopened the attraction shortly afterward. No injuries were reported in that incident.

Disney+ Greenlights Brand-New ‘Mickey Mouse Club’ Series

Get ready to dust off your Mouseketeer ears! Disney has officially ordered a pilot for a brand-new reboot of The Mickey Mouse Club, set to air on Disney+.

The classic variety show, which first debuted in 1955, has a legendary history of launching young talent into superstardom. This latest modern iteration aims to capture that same magic for a new generation.

According to a report from Deadline, production on the pilot is scheduled to begin this month in Los Angeles. Disney is partnering with Fulwell Entertainment to produce the series. Fulwell is the production powerhouse behind several major Disney-related projects, including:

  • The Kardashians on Hulu
  • Encanto at the Hollywood Bowl
  • The Lion King at the Hollywood Bowl Live
  • Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium

Disney told Deadline that the reimagined series is designed to be a “showcase for today’s most talented young performers, where music, innovation, and self-expression take center stage.”

Executive producing the pilot are Fulwell co-founder Ben Winston alongside Ashley Edens, Emma Conway, and Dave Piendak.

The reboot has already assembled a highly talented ensemble cast of young actors, singers, and performers, including a few familiar faces from upcoming Disney projects:

  • Hudson Stone, Casey Trotter, and Brooklynn Pitts (all starring in Disney’s upcoming Camp Rock 3)
  • Erianthe Akaata (Young Rock)
  • Scarlett London Diviney (Wicked, The Lion King National Tour)
  • Michael Cash (Black Rabbit)
  • Yonas Kibreab (Elio)
  • Varonica Mitchell
  • Kauani
  • Scarlett Grace Petty
  • Carter Barnes
mmc

This reboot marks the fifth major era for the franchise. Originally created by Walt Disney himself, The Mickey Mouse Club has been reinvented across multiple generations, consistently acting as a premier launching pad for Hollywood elite.

The Original Era

1955 – 1959

Walt Disney’s original black-and-white variety show runs for four incredibly successful seasons, introducing the world to the very first Mouseketeers, including breakout star Annette Funicello.

The New Mickey Mouse Club

1977 – 1979

The franchise gets its first color revival, updated with a disco-era beat and a diverse new cast.

The All-New Mickey Mouse Club (MMC)

1989 – 1996

The most famous revival of all. Airing on the Disney Channel, this iteration famously launched the global careers of Britney Spears, Justin Timberlake, Christina Aguilera, Ryan Gosling, and Keri Russell.

Club Mickey Mouse

2017 – 2018

A short-lived, digital-first version of the club that aired entirely on social media platforms.

The Disney+ Reboot

2026

Disney officially orders a pilot for a high-production-value revival, bringing the franchise back to a major streaming platform under Fulwell Entertainment.

With production kicking off in Los Angeles, Disney fans won’t have to wait long to see if this new crop of talent will yield the next generation of music and movie icons.
