While Universal has not confirmed what the teaser refers to, it is believed that the announcement is related to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit’s replacement, which closed in August of last year. Construction activity began shortly after the coaster’s closure.

The use of a revving speedometer, combined with ongoing rumors about the project, hints that the attraction could feature a Fast & Furious theme, though Universal has not acknowledged or confirmed those claims.

At this time, all details remain unannounced. More information is expected when Universal makes its official reveal on January 20, 2026.
