Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Construction Update\"Fast<\/a>Source: @bioreconstruct<\/a><\/p>\n

In the aerial photos shared by @bioreconstruct on X today, we could see the construction progress for the launch track and station buildings. On the second building for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, a blue structural frame is being added. A similar looking blue frame can be seen alongside the track going into the building. <\/p>\n

Zooming out a bit, we can see two blue tracks. The lower track is for the launch at the start of the ride, while the upper track is for returning trains.<\/p>\n

This photo provides a look at a platform along one of the brake runs, where the track is heading towards the station to unload guests.<\/p>\n

These photos show both tracks again, where the higher track is returning, while the lower track is for the launch. Construction continues to progress in the station areas as well, where piles of dirt and materials can be seen.<\/p>\n

In our\u00a0previous construction updates, we could see more track installation <\/a>occurring along the large curves, as well as the 170-foot-tall spike being \u201ctopped off,\u201d<\/a> signaling the completion of the tallest point of a structure. The \u201ctopping off\u201d was marked with an American flag and a\u00a0Fast & Furious\u00a025th anniversary flag, as the first film was released in 2001.<\/p>\n

Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift replaces\u00a0Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit<\/a>\u00a0and is expected to open in 2027. One version of the coaster, however, will\u00a0open soon<\/a>\u00a0at Universal Studios Hollywood.<\/p>\n
