Heard today that the park still hopes to open this ride next year…

That would be amazing but I feel like it will really depends on the weather. I'm seeing next year could have as much rain as this year and if true would be hard to get this done in under 18 months.
If we take @ethanuniversal's words to consideration: wouldn't that mean they'd be flying under the seat of their pants for a Holiday 2024 goalpost?
If they really push, I could see MAYBE a late Summer opening. I do think November would be more likely as it would have to be either late Summer or holiday next year. I can’t see a fall opening happening as that would clash with HHN.

^ Yes. I mean there would be no room for error, and perhaps not as immersively themed as we’re used to with Universal (think more Incredible Hulk than Velocicoaster).
But being down 2 attractions (possibly 3 by next year), I could understand the ambitious plans.

They can’t theme the mountain… so this will inevitably be lightly themed/exposed track clearly visibly to guests.

Just to check everyone's expectations
I'm pretty sure at max this ride will have a themed launch and maybe ending room. I would not expect the hill or much else themed.
It will be a coaster on a hill, similar to Six Flags.

I wouldn't be stunned to see lightly themed "scream tunnels" ala Incredicoaster.
It themed to Fast and Furious, which is heavy on suburban/industrial design. Basically it allows for minimal theming. This is going to be a straight-up thrill coaster like Hulk or VelociCoaster and even then I think it will have a bit less ambitious theming than that.
Though the minimal theming will work to its advantage for a timeline, I foresee this opening Jan 2025. Early in the year seems to be par for the course of new theme park additions now.

If they do manage to get this open next year, I'll be looking forward to seeing some pressure taken off of SNW earlier than what we thought. Wonder how things will look afterwards.
Nonetheless, I'm excited to see Hollywood get its own equivalent of VelociCoaster (or whichever this is most akin to) as a new form of thrill ride in the park.

What do we expect the trains to be? Will they go for a sleek black design, like Dom's Charger? Maybe different trains have different designs?

I'm imagining they will look a bit like Objectif Mars but with four cars and look more like Sports cars.

Maybe a prototype supercar that we’re testing out? It sounds like there won’t be much room for story so that would check all of the “bare minimum” boxes.
