Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift (USH) - General Discussion

[Viator]

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.

Yup yup~ seems like a more advanced means of promo as per considering the last time we had a major pullthrough visible like this, UOR did it as such:

Pull-through vehicle testing has begun on Jurassic Park Coaster at Islands of Adventure - Inside Universal

Universal Orlando has begun vehicle testing on the unannounced Jurassic Park coaster, conducting pull-through and clearance tests on the track.

This would mean we are 9 months out from opening? Assuming we are following on a similar timeline to Velocicoaster.

Velocicoaster seemed to take long due to the extensive theming being done but it seems as if the theming for Hollywood Drift is going to be a lot more simple than that of Velocicoaster's. The one thing that could take a while is the controlled spinning. With it being a controlled spin coaster, along with it being Intamin in general, we could be in for a rough couple of months. I'm sure they're also gonna want to test this thing like crazy to make sure they get the sound barriers right so they can have the least amount of noise spill into the backlot as possible.

From Universal High as of yesterday:





It seems additionally--the work for the pathway that leads to the brake run, right before the high five and non-inverting dive loop; is nearly complete.

 

[Hello]

Scream shields will begin to be installed as well as the pull through of the vehicle going to the layout in June.

I speculate the Welcome to Springfield sign replaces the tapped out billboard

 

[Hello]

There will be onboard audio for Hollywood Drift

 

[Freak]

Here’s a better look at the station! Walls are down by the Starway!

I should not be so excited for this. But I am..

The onboard audio is huge! Thought it was the biggest miss not including it on Velocicoaster

Been thinking on this, and I almost wonder if it…doesn’t get moved at all—and is simply taken down.

I think if Simpsons is closing by the end of 2027, why would they work with Disney on a short term “fix” ahead of the removal of the land and the dethemification.

Almost have to think that’s why the Tapped Out sign is still there—because if they were to change it now it’d need approval from Disney and 20th Century TV.

I mean, they might have to work with Disney on a short-term fix if Disney requires it as part of their agreement, which as far as we are aware, remains in effect for a few years or more.

Wait, it doesn't have on board???!

 

[Hello]

Just trail lights

Walls have been pushed further, and the Springfield sign has been wrapped in plastic.
