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

[Viator]

I just wanna say, there’s onboard audio, each car has unique audio, and there is music. No Tokyo drift or gasolina :/

Super faint BUT I kinda hear this song

I am happy to see any sort of landscaping happening on that hillside! The only thing I'm not really a fan of are the giant sound walls with trees printed onto 'em but sightlines aren't something I've historically held against USH because of the "hodgepodge studio" nature of the park that has always been there. I really can't wait for them to open this bad boy up!

The concessions made to get the ride built were amongst the most extreme any design team has had to endure. And the ride will get some hate for that once the bloggers/influencers start posting their reviews.

At the end of the day, it's still going to be a world class coaster and I think that's kind of what USH needed more than anything.

That's not to say we should've been expecting better for theming or detailing--it's Fast & Furious; but I think the more important thing is what it does for the park overall rather than that of the limitations and forced elements they had to do.

If you're at liberty to say, I'm wondering if you're talking about the speed of the ride or the rotation restricting the views to control noise? Something else?

I mean, what we see is what we get and I'm still ecstatic that we're getting a world-class coaster over here in my back yard! I'm fairly confident this will be the best coaster in California.

Its going to be fun and very smooth but its a minute at max

But I'd take Big thunder or incredicoaster over this any day those are solid and long coasters

Also I feel like people like just hate on Six Flags....like cool if you don't like all the coasters but X2, twisted colossus, Tatsu are these not considered some of the best coasters in the world?

Also maybe it was just the people I knew/friends but most liked the Mummy when it came out but were disappointed by how long the wait was vs how long the coaster was. So I think many will like this coaster and we will have to see how it pans out with reviews. I'm very open to having a blast on it but I know at least for me it will be one and done for now, I have no want to wait in any line 2 hours

If the biggest qualm is going to be length…the average length of the roller coasters in California are under a minute. I haven’t done a study on this but I’m ballparking it. I would it be nice if it was 10-15 seconds longer? Oh sure. But I think a minute is about right for a major coaster. That’s basically the normal length of any major coaster everywhere else.

We're already ranking the ride no one here has ridden against other coasters?

Idk what they are on about…I got told it’s very fun and the spinning is different in each car which adds re riding…. I mean if it was supposed be more and we got less than ok? But it’s impressive already. It’s on the side of a hill

 

[theblueblurr]

As a fan of Revenge of the Mummy, I sincerely doubt I will have any qualms about the ride time on this one.

New day, different thread, same cycle.

The overall presentation from an aesthetic perspective. It doesn’t have that curb appeal that something like Velocicoaster has. And the Orlando version is going to be absolutely gorgeous compared to ours.

While all of us here understand why, those visiting probably won’t get it.

I haven’t ridden it yet, but someone I know who has says the ride itself is fantastic!

from dispatch to return to station it's about 100-110 seconds.

It's actually really good when you consider other launch coasters in the region; even if it can't be as long as the likes of say--West Coast Racers (*and that's a good thing if I'm honest*).

Oh gotchya.

Yeah that's not a big deal in the grand scheme of things. For a Fast and Furious ride, I wasn't expecting anything too fancy anyway. Again, I'm just glad the park is getting a fantastic roller coaster. That's all I want.

I also think it's going to look pretty awesome up on the hill from many areas of the park. I doubt it'll be as scenic as something like Tatsu, but the topography definitely makes this visually interesting even if it's not beautiful.

I think at the most part, at worst; those visiting probably won't care? The GP is kind of a fickle sort of element where while on one hand--you can't really tell what they'd want, the simpler something can be, that it can work around really well.

I also think it helps, that people are not expecting a highly themed and highly immersive attraction here. People should be expecting, a world class rollercoaster with the intensity and profile that defines Universal. The ride with the multiple vantage points will make this much more of a "spectacle" that can be seen far and wide, rather than keeping it completely immersive and in line.

If this happened to a Jurassic World coaster, then I'd agree; but it is doing it's purposes well.
