Final Piece Of Track For Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift installed at Universal Studios Hollywood

Our good friend Brian was at Unviersal Studios Hollywood yesterday and sent us some fantastic pictures of the final piece of Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift now in place at Universal Studios Hollywood. 

This marks a major milestone in the progress of this coaster as we move towards an early 2026 opening date. Looking at the site it seems the next step will be the installation of some of the soundwalls for the coaster to meet local regulations. There will of course be many other things going on such as electric, themeing and more. 

While it may not seem like much is going on for the next few months, there definitely is. Let's get into some pics of the completed track! 

A bit out of order, but wanted to start with this shot. Absolutely love this view from Super Nintendo World. Moving from left to right: Track over and under the Starway. Station and queue. Stall element. Track down the hill (in front of the Frankenstein parking structure). Final piece of track (that the Minion had a great shot of).

Heading down on the Studio Tour.

A clear look at the completed final piece.

Here is what it looked like just 2 days prior on Sunday.

As you can see, it's not quite an inversion.

They were still doing a bit of work during Brian's visit.

Some great shots from the exit of The Simpsons Ride. We are going to get some fantastic views from this coaster.

The good kind of sightlines. =)

Heading down to the lower lot.

It will be interesting to see what kind of themeing/landscaping we get in this area.

While the buildings and the view of the valley certainly fit the LA scene of Fast and Furious, I'm still anticipating lots of landscape work going on this summer.

Anybody staying in the Hilton soon? Can imagine some nice views from there.

Fast and Furious 17: Jurassic Drift. Starring Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto and Jeff Goldblum as Dr. Ian Malcom. You know you'd watch it.

Brian got a little artsy with this one. But I kind of like it.

A look at the track on either side of the final element. Apparently there are launches on both sides of this.

Just an insane amount of twisted steel.

Alright, that's going to wrap it up. Hope you enjoyed the update! We'll have a new update for you soon I'm sure. And thanks again to Brian for the awesome pics!
