Taking a look, it seems like they are planning on adding palm trees around the station building. With that said, it still won't take away from the fact that it looks like the Sawyers have a permanent residence in the park now.

Yeah, I'm not sure palm trees are going to improve this much. Fingers crossed they have some other thematic elements coming.

If anything, the most they'll do is probably some graffiti or a giant print-on sign like the massive 'Fast and Furious Supercharged' name display on the facade of Orlando's

I hope there’s a plan to cover up the final brake run/switch track by Mel’s Diner. Looks pretty bare over there.

They should add a big plastic-y looking guitar out front

Looking at the plans, doesn't seem like they're planning on covering that area up. As a coaster nerd though, I'll love it because it means I can get some seriously sick nerd shots

Can only imagine how long till they start testing them. I doubt they'll still have covers when they do, given it's a coaster.

I don't think we'll see testing until July at the earliest. It's still a 2026 opening after all. Six months of testing is already insane.

Curse of the werewolf was testing with covers on for a while.

From as of April 5th; we have more up to date sats showing the absolute scale and size of Hollywood Drift. And! A small bit but worth saying, the project size can now be a bit more seen at that of being approximately 4.3 (4.28) acres total. That is about 2,538 square feet of space.

Do we know where the ride exit is going to be? Is it by the escalators or back into that front hub?

I would guess the front hub

The exit stairway will funnel guests back into 'Decision Hub'.

From @ethanuniversal--he was able to catch a glimpse of the rear bumper of one of our main train cars!


EDIT: How about a clearer view, as by Ethan?~



The car in question seems to be a custom vehicle exclusive to our ride, as it has not appeared in the Fast & Furious films. It is however possible--that as a result of the pullthrough that they are using the zebra stripe to mask it's true colors; as manufacturers have used camouflage on test vehicles when they are out in broad daylight.

 

[Ron101]

That pull through carriage is definitely going to hit parts of the ride or ground lol

On the plus side, it'll look stunning as it does. Once again, from @ethanuniversal





Ride restraints seem confirmed now from the pull-through vehicle; that it will be using the same OTSR style as seen with Velocicoaster + modern Intamin.

That's not what the ride vehicle will look like once the ride opens. It is a camouflage being used to wrap the car for the time being. It seems to be Dom's Dodge Charger with the way that the taillights look.
