Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift is the newest and fastest attraction at Universal Studios Hollywood. According to Universal, it is the park's first high-speed outdoor roller coaster and the fastest roller coaster across all Universal parks. The coaster is located on the Upper Lot and has been open since September 2026.
The concept
You board a car based on a famous vehicle from the Fast & Furious films: Dominic Toretto's Dodge Charger, Han's Mazda RX-7, or Brian O'Conner's Nissan Skyline GT-R or Toyota Supra. The station is housed in a red-brick garage, and the studio's hillside forms the base of the track.
The Experience
The coaster has four launches, three inversions and cars that can spin 360 degrees, so it feels as if you're really drifting. You reach speeds of up to around 116 km/h over roughly 1,250 metres of track. Along the way you'll find an inverted dive loop, a twisted pretzel loop and an inverted stall, among other elements.

Express doesn't work here
Universal Express doesn't give you priority access here. If you want to get on faster, buy the separate Timed Express Access Add-on.
Try the test seat
There's a test seat at the entrance, so you can check in advance whether the restraint fits properly.
Go on your own
There's a Single Rider queue. Handy if you want to cut your waiting time.
Visitor information
You must be at least 129.5 cm tall. There's a Single Rider queue and Child Swap. Universal Express, Express Unlimited and the Express Add-On aren't valid for this coaster (the VIP Experience and the Guided Theme Park Tour Add-On are). If you want to get on faster, buy the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Timed Express Access Add-on for a fixed date and time; you buy a park ticket separately.
Full throttle on the Upper Lot
Hollywood Drift brings real speed to Universal Studios Hollywood. Arrive early or plan your ride for the end of the day. And remember: Express won't help you here.
