News Project 2026/409: Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift (Prototype Intamin Rotating Coaster)
- Thread starter Viator
- Start date
Would love for Tacky to elaborate; but I think in general you are looking at an insane coaster. Especially if this thing can hit 1.1K or up to 1.6K depending on how the dual load helps dispatch times--this is going to be a high capacity beast that genuinely chews out those weak willed if the coaster pulls intensive elements with the rotations.

Universal plans to reduce noise from its upcoming ‘Fast and Furious’ rollercoaster from reaching nearby homes
Universal Studios Hollywood has released more details about its upcoming “Fast and Furious” themed roller coaster and how it plans to reduce noise from the coaster, so it won’t significantly impact…

So I finally took the time to learn how to use Kw6sTheater's amazing Multi-Dimensional cars and sat down today to update my F&F Recreation. Since there's no way to know what the rotation program is going to be, I kinda just made it up based on what I thought would be fun.
Hopefully this will help people visualize how insane this monster of a project is gonna be! Can't wait to see how close I got once the finished product opens up a few years from now

Great work @Qrispy! I never knew how much I needed an Intamin inverted stall on a coaster running trains with controlled rotation. The opportunities for truly one-of-a-kind forces on this coaster are immense.
I adore Time Traveler and Cosmic Rewind—this has the potential to be the best of both of those and so, so much more. I may actually be more hyped for this project than any other coaster project ever.

Yeah, I was kind of more or less implying. This is going to be on the levels of something that’s never been done before, and I’m pumped for it.
There’s no need to be rude or anything. it was just my way of saying. This is going to be such a unique ride that I can’t even picture it in my head on what it could look like

I think the fact they are going with what seems to be a blend of specifically Cosmic's controlled rotationals with the intensity and pacing of Velocicoaster; is easily going to make this coaster quite easily Top 5 for North America and possibly Top 5 Globally.
Excluding a very small handful of insane coasters, like Kingda Ka, Formula Rossa, Falcon's Flight, and Eejanaika; I don't think we've seen a coaster doing something as multi-packed and large in scale and scope, quite like this. Even if it doesn't have as much theming--it's still easily going to be one of the most coveted credits in the world if the rotations are on par with @Qrispy's fan interpretation.
That's what I figured--and yeah. I know we don't have specifics on really how this is going to thematically blend; but I think that's gonna be the next big thing to contend and wrap around the head with.
In the meanwhile--some photos as of yesterday!

Alicia Stella just put out another update video on this project too. Great resource for anyone who didn't dig through the most recent batch of documents about the coaster:

It certainly won't be a people eater. No coasters are. But the queue and pre-launch sections could keep the line moving.
Thunder Mountain and Everest have entered the chat

Video came out a little more than a year ago-

F&F will be using the 4-person cars instead of the 12/16-person ones seen in the video.

From the Community Line--the first look of how this coaster will be visible at night has been posted. You can even see the building warehouse that'll contain the queue, maintenance bays, and stations.
Love that first shot of the construction site! Went into NL2 and grabbed a similar angle of what that'll eventually look like-
Another update with info from the Universal & You page and @Zachary's material. Thanks everyone! Universal Studios shares new renderings of ‘Fast & Furious’ roller coaster
here's a rendering of all the support pilings and other ground work.
