Universal Orlando just dropped some legit breaking news: they officially announced Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, a brand-new high-speed coaster coming to Universal Studios Florida in 2027. And yes—this is the coaster that’s replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Universal didn’t give us animations or a ton of stats (typical), so in this video I lean on the press release plus the aerials from BioReconstruct to piece together what this thing is shaping up to be. The headline features are wild: 360-degree “drifting” spinning seats and a massive 170-foot vertical spike that’s going to tower over the edge of CityWalk. I also talk about the other big change tied to this project: Fast & Furious: Supercharged is permanently closing in 2027. I’m not going to pretend that’s a huge loss for most people, but I do think it raises bigger questions about what Universal wants to do next in that part of the park—especially with the Simpsons contract situation coming up too. Then I get into my early predictions: I’m guessing top speed in the mid-70s, a longer layout around 4,500 feet, multiple launches, and around three inversions. With Intamin building it and the CityWalk interaction, I genuinely think there’s a real chance this ends up being the best coaster at Universal Orlando when it opens—possibly as early as April 2027.
