While many people were sad to see Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit<\/a> go away at Universal Studios in Universal Orlando<\/a>, others were looking forward to something new, especially when it was recently announced that the new coaster would be the same one coming to Universal Studios Hollywood \u2014 Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift<\/a>.<\/p>\n

This coaster is expected to open in 2027, and while the entirety of the former coaster is no longer around, it\u2019s still going to take a while to construct an entirely new coaster. How are things looking so far, though? Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got an update thanks to @bioreconstruct!<\/p>\n

Starting off really strong, we\u2019ve actually got a video of the whole area! At the end of the video, you can also see a glimpse of the Hogwarts Express stopped on the tracks while it undergoes maintenance.<\/p>\n

When you look at the construction in relation to CityWalk, you can see just how massive it\u2019ll really be. From what it looks like, you\u2019ll be able to easily see the attraction from CityWalk when it\u2019s complete, but you\u2019ll need to enter Universal Studios to ride (just like Rip Ride Rockit).<\/p>\n

We can also see three large concrete sections that are rising up from the ground. While it could be incorrect, it\u2019s looking like these could be in preparation for a sliding track switch.<\/p>\n

We can also see a straight line of footers closer to Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem. This very likely indicates a launch for the ride, especially since it\u2019s close to those concrete forms. Now, this may not be the initial launch of the ride \u2014 it could be an additional launch inside the attraction.<\/p>\n

With this new ride, it\u2019s also been confirmed that Fast & Furious: Supercharged, also located in Universal Studios, will close in 2027<\/a>. Many fans are thrilled about this change, as the attraction has never been very popular, and if we\u2019re not mincing words, most people just flat out hate it. It hasn\u2019t yet been announced if something new will be going into the ride building, but we\u2019ll be watching closely for that announcement.<\/p>\n
