<\/a>bioreconstruct\/X<\/p>\nThe latest photos shared by aerial photographer bioreconstruct<\/a> offer a detailed look at several areas of the project as Universal prepares for the attraction\u2019s 2027 opening.<\/p>\n Station Entrance Fa\u00e7ade and Pull Test Car New steel framing has been installed along the exterior of the coaster\u2019s station, forming the framework for the future entrance fa\u00e7ade. The multi-story structure stands alongside an existing brick building, with construction lifts positioned around the framework as crews continue installation. Behind the fa\u00e7ade, a pull test car is visible on the track near the unloading platform. <\/p>\n A closer view reveals the car positioned beneath the station roof, with workers visible on the surrounding platforms. The curved track and adjacent maintenance walkways are also clearly visible.<\/p>\n As we reported in our previous construction update<\/a>, crews have been fine-tuning track components throughout the station area, including the brake run and switch track connecting the coaster\u2019s launch sequence to its towering spike.<\/p>\n Service Buildings and Maintenance Facilities Elsewhere on the construction site, two new aerial photos provide an overhead look at the large service building complex.<\/p>\n The connected structures now have extensive gray metal roofing and exterior wall panels, with exterior staircases and elevated walkways installed along their sides. Construction equipment, materials, and workers remain scattered around the buildings.<\/p>\n The complex will serve Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift while also expanding Universal\u2019s facilities for the regular refurbishment of ride vehicles from other attractions, as suggested by bioreconstruct.<\/p>\n The buildings represent a substantial addition to the resort\u2019s backstage maintenance infrastructure, beyond the facilities needed to operate the new coaster.<\/p>\n A closer aerial view of the track shows freshly poured concrete beneath the section known as the Speed Bump.<\/p>\n The concrete forms a service route that will provide maintenance crews with access to the track for daily inspections and upkeep. Several construction lifts are positioned around the track, while the coaster\u2019s blue support columns rise from concrete foundations throughout the area.<\/p>\n The Speed Bump forms part of the coaster\u2019s launch sequence leading toward the 170-foot vertical spike overlooking Universal CityWalk. Previous aerial photos<\/a> documented the pull test car moving through portions of the brake run as work continued on the track\u2019s launch and switching systems.<\/p>\n Along the Universal CityWalk waterfront, crews are preparing to pour one of the remaining sections of concrete walkway between Hard Rock Cafe and the new coaster.<\/p>\n The latest photos show workers installing reinforcement materials along a curved section of the pathway near the restaurant. Much of the surrounding walkway has already been paved with reddish concrete, while temporary construction walls continue to separate guests from the active worksite.<\/p>\n A temporary ramp over a garden wall also remains in place near the construction area. According to bioreconstruct, the former pedestrian route beneath the coaster\u2019s vertical spike will not return once construction is complete.<\/p>\n An expansive aerial view shows the new waterfront path curving around the coaster\u2019s supports, with the Universal globe visible nearby.<\/p>\n The aerial photos also provide a glimpse behind construction scrims surrounding the entrance gateway to Universal Studios Florida.<\/p>\n Are you excited to experience Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift when it opens in 2027?
