Overview
- The last track pieces were placed early Monday, Aug. 3, 2026, completing the coaster circuit at Universal Studios Florida and marking the shift from heavy structure work to testing.
- The ride’s large station has a finished metal roof and rising enclosed‑scene framing, with landscaping, walkways and interior fit‑out now the primary tasks.
- Florida’s version will use the rotating ‘drift’ vehicles from Universal Studios Hollywood but runs on a unique layout that includes a 170‑foot twisting spike and a sliding switch track.
- Universal has set a 2027 opening target and the resort will close the current Fast & Furious – Supercharged exhibit with its final day on August 16, 2026 and permanent closure on August 17, 2026.
- Aerial imagery from photographer bioreconstruct has documented the near‑complete site and Universal will draw on operational lessons from Hollywood’s soft openings, including noise monitoring, as it begins Florida testing.
