Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

[RyanTTD]

So I’m counting four gates on each lane. Does each gate go to each car or each individual row? I’m hoping its per car because if its per row….thats some rough throughput.

Look closer. Each row has its own gate.

Only the gates for car 3 are shared, as to allow for ADA guests easy access to the vehicles.

Yeah, there are little loading dots in the photo that I've circled.

Notice the metal detectors mentioned in the plans.

Gonna be interesting to see how the SoCal GP react to the “zero tolerance for ANY items on your body” policy that Universal has for their more intense coasters. I personally don’t care because I don’t like taking the chance anyway and I’m used to UO’s locker policy, but I think some guests are gonna be heated over the strict policy. Lol

From the 4-5 times i've been, the surprise to me out there every time is how different guests act than they do in Orlando. Not that they're unruly, it's just you can tell that the parks are more of a locals hangout there. Line cutting be a socially accepted norm as if it's something everyone does is one of the things I always notice there. The amount of people that pull that in SoCal on big rides like Rise or Bowsers Challenge would have 40/50 year old parents going full Karen mode in Orlando.

So if someone were to be cutting in line to get to their group (because they were left behind or had to leave the line to get something) is that a big no no in Orlando?

I could see Orlando having more Karen’s. Also, there’s not really a line jumping problem at USH. I never seen anyone be ejected for doing so either.

HHN is the only time I see this type of policy enforced

Also--additionally thanks to @ethanuniversal for letting me check with him; but Double Sided Lockers, Restrooms, and retail has now been noted of where they will be too.

Good to see Single Rider is confirmed even if it was expected.

I have done this with kids that had to go to the bathroom or I had to leave and come back to grab something from the stroller. No one cares as long as they see you actually join a family which I do.

 

[Mad Dog]

I think a lot depends on how many pushing through, and the age group involved. If it's a mother and child, or two, no one questions. If it's a half dozen teenagers and they're rudely forcing their way through, chances are they're line jumping....The worst I've ever seen was about three or four dozen of a Brazilian group, and their leader with those flags they carry, force their way past us, and a few others, on the Hogsmeade Hogwarts entrance line. The TM's saw it and let us go through the Express entrance as consideration for what that rude group did. But they still let that group through to the regular entrance.

Story time:
I actually encountered this at JW. Guy cut right in front of me while his wife and kid were waiting outside the line. They then cut and went in front of me. I confronted the guy and he did start cussing in front of his child. I let him be until we got to the station and told a TM, he and his family were then escorted out.

From Melvetica on the TPS Discord--the entire station building is rapidly rising up!!!!

Finally got some good footage of the workers working the F&F site, got to see them drilling a hole and getting it ready for a support and they have done a tonnnnnn of a work within the 5 days I haven't been there

I don't know, I heard what happened when that guy was working at the power plant, not sure I want him on this project...

It’s not like he causes chemical meltdowns that are seen for miles ahead, totalllly fine.

Me trying to comprehend Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift potentially being as good as X2, Twisted Collosus, Medusa, Giant Dipper, and Ghostrider.

No seriously, my brain can't comprehend Hollywood getting a ride like this. I neeeeeeeed it.

The West Coast will finally get a good big scale Intamin (wtf is a Escape from Krypton or Incredicoaster? Never heard of them).

See, I'm trying to comprehend if this is gonna be as good as Velocicoaster; which has been heralded as one of the best coasters in the world due to the balancing act.

I feel like Intamin might try to one up Velocioaster just because this is much bigger challenge. Will that actually come through? Hm, not sure. If this ride feels as "complete" as Ghostrider (not saying the experience will be similar, dear lord no) I'd say it's a big win in my book.

Haven't ridden Velocicoaster yet so not sure how to guage what this ride could potentially feel like.

If this ride is as good as Velocicoaster, I’ll buy an annual pass the moment I get off the coaster.

 

[Freak]

I think this could be up there with VelociCoaster. If we are able to rotate during that too gun stall…oh man that would take the coaster to the next level!

 

[Mad Dog]

Even if the coaster doesn't meet the lofty track and thrill standards of Velocicoaster, it's going to be a lot of fun since a coaster on a steep hill, with a terrific view, is going to greatly enhance the experience.

 

[Pacific]

As long as its as forceful as Flight of the Hippogriff, I'm good ahaha. No seriously, that thing has crazy forces for Vekoma Junior. It even has a moment of ejector if you sit in the back. More thrilling than Mummy
