The new Fast & Furious roller coaster coming to Universal Studios Hollywood will feature 360-degree rotating coaster vehicles designed to look like drifting race cars from the street racing film franchise that has earned $7 billion at the worldwide box office.

The Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster will debut in 2026 on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood, according to Universal officials.

The Hollywood Drift coaster with 360-degree rotating ride vehicles will feature a state-of-the-art ride system with first-of-its-kind innovations and technological achievements, according to Universal.

The coaster track will employ sound reduction technology to lessen the noise from the coaster for Universal’s residential neighbors.

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will be the first high-speed outdoor coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood. The park’s two existing coasters include the 2004 Revenge of the Mummy indoor coaster and the 2016 Flight of the Hippogriff outdoor kiddie coaster.

Hollywood Drift riders will enter through a red brick auto repair garage before boarding a coaster ride vehicle themed to look like an authentic Fast & Furious film car.

The Hollywood Drift in the coaster name references the 2006 Universal Pictures “Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” action film. Drift racers intentionally oversteer to the point of losing traction while maintaining control of the car.

Cars featured in “Tokyo Drift” included a Nissan Fairlady Z33, Silvia S15 Spec-S, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX and Ford Mustang Fastback, according to Drifted.com.

The 2015 Fast & Furious: Supercharged attraction will continue to be part of Universal’s Studio Tour after the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster opens.
