Universal Sets Summer 2026 Debut for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift at Universal Studios Hollywood

A Vin Diesel–narrated campaign signals a shift toward a high‑thrill Fast & Furious presence in the park.

Overview

  • Universal launched a 30‑second spot voiced by Vin Diesel that will air during the Winter Olympics, Super Bowl LX, and NBA All‑Star broadcasts on NBC and Peacock.
  • The coaster features 360‑degree rotating vehicles, 4,100 feet of aerial track, and top speeds of 72 mph, with sound‑reduction technology built into the design.
  • It will be Universal Studios Hollywood’s first high‑speed outdoor roller coaster and is set to be the fastest in Universal’s global portfolio.
  • On‑track launch testing has been underway since October using camouflaged cars, and the precise opening date will be announced closer to summer.
  • A separate installation is planned for Universal Studios Florida in 2027, replacing the demolished Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
