Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

[Jerroddragon]

I know the coaster people will love it but....I just per the Big Thunder Mountain style coaster. I want themeing, I want something I can't just go down to Six flags and Knotts and do...there are coaster all over this state and I know spinning is "new" but I also rather this be like a BTTF ride where like themeing and an amazing start where you see lightening hit a tower and blast off


I just hope people on here are right, if this coaster draws people and we get longer park hours past 6 PM, then cool if its just the same old same old then....to me this is mostly a waste outside some hardcore coaster fans. So I'm hoping it can draw the people, that people on here think it will be or to me its kind of a waste because one again we could have gotten a themed coaster and now we have this and if its not drawing people in then your just hitting one audience and pushing most people to not care because it will be too extreme for both kids and older people.

But I'm willing to wait and see the results after

I was hoping for more theming too. Ride will for sure be fun, no doubt about it. But, I too am wondering how it’ll perform long term.
The ride clocking in at only sixty seconds is picking up steam on social media, which could lead to more mixed reviews.

I'm pretty excited to see the effects and reviews for this ride and how it changes over time

I think coaster people will go nuts for it and maybe some will speak out because of the length

Its more the general audience, whats funny is all three coasters at the park are short. Like The Mummy I remember waiting in a long...long line to get on it and was pretty disappointed when I got off...like waiting 90+ mins for the Mummy can be rough when its coaster time is so short

The Mummy now mostly you can get on much quicker so I like it when I can get on it quickly and wonder if thats what will happen for this coaster as well or if it being so thrilling for many will be enough to ignore its low ride time and lack of effects/theming

Although I do agree with preferring a more themed attraction in most cases, (i always found it weird that people wanted a Back to the Future *roller coaster* vs a more immersive attraction) I'm glad Universal is finally doing something with of their biggest franchise that isn't cheap and lazy.
