Overview
- New images from above show the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift station framed out with roof work underway and bright blue track pieces feeding into the building.
- A large raised concrete pad beside the station is identified by an aerial photographer as a future switch track area that will route trains between the main line and backstage maintenance.
- Maintenance buildings behind the park’s New York area are expanding as crews add steel, roofing, and utilities to support daily storage and service of the coaster trains.
- On-the-ground checks at Universal Studios Florida show the first blue supports in place, confirming the project has moved beyond groundwork into visible vertical construction.
- Universal says Orlando’s ride will use rotating vehicles that mimic drifting cars like the Hollywood version, with Orlando’s layout set to differ and opening targeted for 2027; separate outlets report a 170-foot spike and a 2027 closure for Fast & Furious Supercharged, which Universal has not confirmed.
