News Project 2027: Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift... East...?
- Thread starter Python_Survivor
- Start date
God that's a weird support structure. Probably because of the controlled spin but it looks so uniquely different than any other Intamin support anywhere, even F&FWest
I think I saw someone somewhere (maybe that Reddit thread) say it looks like that due to a catwalk.
Edit:
Look close enough, and I know it’s station, but it’s the same under there:

Launch track is going over the hill, and it looks like a small outer bank hill next to the launch

Aerial overview of construction at Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Track has been placed at the station (top center) and near the CityWalk waterfront.

I can see it now: the jimmy Fallon side building must be for the station and the grey building must be the maintenance building and the view old nickelodeon building is now blocked by the coaster (maybe retheme it to fit in with the fast & furious coaster like give it a New York City facade?)

After looking at the latest photos by Bioreconstruct on Bluesky, I'm dug in on this opinion. The California version was the prototype, the Orlando version is the masterpiece, mountains in the distance or not.
First piece of that’s-definitely-an-inversion track has been placed! It appears the roll rate levels off at the end there, implying an inverted stall.

Honestly didn’t expect a full stall on this considering Velocicoaster is a couple hundred feet away, but I suppose spinning through it will differentiate it enough.
I’m hoping to put out my full POV recreation (of what’s currently built) + prediction (of what’s left) either tonight or tomorrow

I really like the confidence level displayed throughout the ride! Don't know how much work it would be, but maybe in the future you could do a version with color coded track segments associated with confidence level? Would make it easier to keep track while watching the POV in my opinion.
Amazing work as always though! And the layout really does look excellent! Fingers crossed your prediction behind the theater pans out!
The people who really have the NIMBY case with a Fast & Furious coaster will be anybody trying to perform on this stage. Game over!

What are the chances that F&F:East opens before F&F:West? I know that the rumors of a delay in CA are likely all fog, but at this rate...

Helloooo wave turn!

Stall is complete!
Here's more or less the final prediction for the main element. The exit side's tripod structure should be much simpler than the entry side:
...maybe we call it the Family Roll?

That inversion in a thing of beauty. Insane maneuver to rotate through. I have such incredibly high hopes for this coaster.
That inversion looks really cool and unique! Also, @CoasterMac , how did you guess that in your pre creation? There was no track up for it yet except for the valleys when you made it lol
@CoasterMac is a beast. He was analyzing the track and supports in the lay down yard and was predicting the placement and orientation of those thus-far-unused pieces based on the installed layout, supports, and footers on-site at the time. Probably the greatest "pre-creation" work we've ever seen. Absolutely unreal.

Well thank ya!
Cannot wait to see what kind of programmed spin this element has!
Basically what @Zachary said. Lots of (too much) time analyzing the individual support & track pieces, and trying to pre-assemble them to figure out where they would go. By the point in time that I posted that, there were pretty much just 5 pieces of track left and all of them had similar rotation angles. So continuing the path it was taking, it basically had to keep twisting the same direction to form a shape like that.
