The high-octane announcement arrived alongside a dynamic new 30-second media campaign, narrated by the voice of the franchise himself—star and producer Vin Diesel. This pulse-pounding spot is set to take over the airwaves during a massive lineup of high-profile sporting events on NBC and Peacock, including Super Bowl LX, the Winter Olympics, and the NBA All-Star game.

Designed to immerse fans directly into the high-stakes world of the Fast & Furious films, the campaign perfectly captures the adrenaline of the upcoming attraction. It serves as the ultimate hype reel as Universal Studios Hollywood prepares for its biggest summer debut yet.

Perched on the Upper Lot in a massive, red-brick “garage,” this groundbreaking coaster is set to redefine the theme park experience. Utilizing revolutionary 360-degree rotation technology, the ride creates a seamless drifting sensation as guests hit speeds of 72 MPH. The adventure unfolds across 4,100 feet of aerial track—roughly the length of 12 football fields—winding directly over the park’s iconic Starway escalators that bridge the Upper and Lower Lots.

The timing couldn’t be better, as the launch of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coincides with the 25th anniversary of the global blockbuster franchise. It also serves as the ultimate lead-up to the final theatrical chapter, Fast Forever, which is currently slated to hit theaters on March 17, 2028.

This new addition represents the pinnacle of Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades of innovation. By drawing on their global expertise in roller coaster development, Universal is delivering a contemporary thrill ride that brings the cinematic intensity of the Fast universe into the real world.
