Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (USH) - Opening 2026

[BillM]

F&F seems to have 6 trains total. Assuming things go a certain way, it should be 5 trains with 1 train in maintenance, allowing two trains in the station; two trains in holding--and one out on the track.

Except there are so many videos showing two out on the track at the same time.

Looks like the capacity for this thing as of now is about 1280 riders per hour. They’re dispatching trains about every 45 seconds without block brake interference. So about 80 trains an hour with 16 riders each gives us the 1280 RPH.

From the numbers I'm seeing online, that seems to make this less people an hour then many other coasters at these kind of park (not talking six Flags)

I know this is more extreme and a different kind of coaster incredicoaster hourly capacity 2,150 to 2,400

guardians of the galaxy cosmic rewind hourly capacity is about 2,000 and hour

The Jurassic World VelociCoaster at Universal Orlando's Islands of Adventure features an impressive hourly capacity of 1,440 to 1,745 riders per hour. (also Hagrids is about the same)


If true, all I will say is I hope the next attractions we get are real people eaters, SLOP is close to one but still get less an hour then HM and other rides similar and MK also isn't the most people an hour.

to be fair, none of the coasters at Six Flags (At least rarely ever) hit their peak capacity. None of the coasters at Magic ever hit over 800 riders per hour so minimum 1440 is not to shabby in comparison!

They never run more than the minimum amount of trains. Also I can kinda say the June opening is true with what I heard. Employee preview might be the 2nd week of June then

Not trying to argue but that's why I said not Six Flags, and thats also why I put up other coast stats to show while it might be good/fine it won't be seeing as many guests as many other world class coasters in similar parks

Like USH gets 3ish times the visitors and cost more and is a theme park vs an amusement park, also we want to be compared to the park that filed for bankruptcy and is not known for good ride ops?

I hope the lines aren't too bad for those going on this alot, and just saying I hope what comes next can eat people better because the last three rides we have gotten are all under 1,500 and we need more people eaters. Jurassic and the Tram are really it

Will just be very interested to see what kind of wait times we see for this this summer and how it affects other rides

If EP is the second week of June then I would be on high watch for the first week of June!

Lines are not going to be short for this. This will be USH's Hagrid's equivalent as this always getting slammed. Everyone I know who thinks USH is an okay park are looking to buy passes because they're so hyped to ride it.

Thankfully we have the single rider line....at least when they feel like opening it.

Been planning to swing by the park for a few hours next Wednesday because my Toretto Sense has been tingling, too…

And we all already know that Single Rider line is going to be insanely long, and maybe not all that much shorter than the main line. Look at the SR for Hagrids

Look at MK, that line on most days once the crowds comes is 40ish mins+

So I agree, single rider can come in clutch but with this ride and how many people online are going to talk about "the secret to getting on this ride in less time" It feels like it won't be as affective until later on in this rides life

I will say, I do assume by September most weekdays shouldn't be too bad for this ride and then again in January

I remember when Toy Story Midway Mania opened back in 2008. Me and my best friend were season pass holders and went all the time (back when a normal, underemployed high schooler could afford a season pass. sigh). We both said at the time, "boy, I can't wait for the lines to chill out on this in a few years!"

It's been 18 years and that sucker is still regularly a 45-60 minute wait, even when the park isn't all that crowded. Which is all to say... this just might be busy all the time. Are they still selling early entry passes to the park? That could be a nice, albeit not free, cheat code to rope dropping this.

Yup, I think this will truly be the park's Hagrid's: demand will always be high no matter what the day.

Also, on very slow days, there's also the very real possibility they will only run one side of the station. They run only one theater for Minions and Simpsons on slow days, they load only one section of Mummy on slower days as well, so I imagine they will do the same thing here. Expect the line to be minimum 30 minutes.

Also this is the first "real" coaster USH has so that will attract a lot of local passholders.

I would be shocked if EA didn't see a price increase and promoting as a way to get on F&F before the park opens

If you can get there early to EA, its normally worth it

How does June 24 look for the big press event?

Not sure of the exact date but that should be within the ballpark timeframe of the ride opening.

 

[Jake S]

I've heard from a couple places that the media event may be sooner than that. Still nothing official, though. Lots of moving parts ... and Universal is notorious for springing what feels like a last minute press event on us.

 

[ladiesman217]

I do wonder... is this ride going to have on-ride music? Or is it just going to be the engine sounds we've been hearing this whole time? I was almost certain that we'd have a couple different tracks a-la Cosmic Rewind but lately I've been losing hope in that with how the only sound effects we've been hearing have been exclusively car sounds and no music. Would be a damn shame and a massive missed opportunity to not have some of the rap songs from the films or especially Gasolina.

 

[Rideguy70]

I know people have posted videos where you can (faintly) seem to hear on board audio. I swore I heard it myself with one test run. That said, it doesn't seem to be testing very consistently as far as I can tell.
