Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift 2026: Universal Orlando's New 170-Foot Spinning Coaster

One family falls, and another rises to heights of 170 feet. Universal Orlando Resort has officially revealed that it's replacing its long-standing 'Supercharged' attraction with a massive new spinning roller coaster titled Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.

According to reports from Entertainment Weekly, the new coaster will feature cars that spin 360 degrees as they navigate the course. The most striking feature is a 170-foot vertical spike that will tower over the Universal CityWalk area, providing a visual landmark for guests even before they enter the park. This project follows the closure of the beloved Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit in 2025.

While the new coaster is being built, the existing screen-based ride, Fast & Furious: Supercharged, is set to close permanently in 2027. This marks a significant shift in Universal's attraction strategy, moving away from the 2018-era media-heavy experiences toward high-thrill hardware.

Timeline of Universal's Franchise Expansion

This new coaster joins an elite lineup of IP-driven attractions at the resort, including the VelociCoaster and Hagrid’s Magical Creatures Motorbike Adventure. It's clear that Universal is doubling down on high-capacity, high-thrill coasters to maintain its momentum following the 2025 opening of its third theme park, Epic Universe.
