Universal Orlando Resort has unveiled plans for an all-new outdoor roller coaster inspired by the Fast & Furious film franchise.<\/p>\n

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is scheduled to open at Universal Studios Florida in 2027, replacing the former Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster.<\/p>\n

“Riders will experience the exhilarating sensation of 360-degree drifting as they speed through jaw-dropping maneuvers\u2014including a 170-foot vertical ‘spike’ that will send riders nearly 17 stories in the air over the outskirts of Universal CityWalk,” the theme park said.<\/p>\n

The new thrill ride’s arrival will coincide with the permanent closure of Fast & Furious \u2013 Supercharged<\/a> next year.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, across the country, Universal Studios Hollywood will debut its own Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift<\/a> outdoor roller coaster later this year. <\/p>\n
