Universal Orlando Resort shared a video first look at the 170-foot spike of the Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster. The new ride opens next year at Universal Studios Florida.
Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift Spike
Hit the NOS button and get ready to ride like never before as you speed into a towering spike in the track – 170 feet in the air. It’s just one of the high-octane thrills of the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster, coming 2027 to Universal Orlando Resort. @TheFastSaga pic.twitter.com/ZYNv7nUvuL

The video “drives” across the bridge to Universal Studios Florida and then up to the spike, which was topped off earlier this month with an American flag and a Fast & Furious 25th anniversary flag. The first film was released in 2001.
Cars will twist 180° as they rise to the top of the spike and then descend back down into the rest of the ride.
Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift replaces Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which closed last summer.
Fast & Furious Supercharged will close next month as Universal prepares for the new coaster to open.
Before it opens in Florida, Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift will debut at Universal Studios Hollywood.
