Fast and Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (Opening 2026)

The drifting/spinning feels way more crucial than the C-shaped launch thing, and honestly this recent track layout feels pretty conducive to that element.

Agreed in full. I don't care so much for the C-shaped launch-esque configurations, personally, so this new theoretical layout seems way more my speed...

It's cool yet somewhat sad to see all that apparent office space backstage. Makes me wonder if we'll get to see the old seating area/stage as they continue to tear the building down.

It’s kinda cool seeing that old office space that was used in that building. I remember when they were gutting Shrek 4D for DWT, the walls with Star painted in them leftover from the Rugrats Magic show could be seen! Shrek just built over them! They were still there after all these years and they’re probably still there now.

Any pics of that? I had no idea and that's pretty cool.
And yeah, I guess I just meant sad in how it's probably the only time we'll see it since that stuff was normally off limits to regular guests for obvious reasons.

Sadly, the person who witnessed it didn't think to take pictures, but he told me he saw work lights going on in there with the doors open, and those starry walls were still there!

Is there an intamin with spinning cars that also inverts?

 

[KlownzNskullZ]

Walking dead is also basically still inside that building too. They had to build around it. Easier that way

What? TWD was not in the Shrek/DWT building.

This might have changed, but my understanding is the cabin was still in there as of last year. Never underestimate building something around something if it’s less expensive than tearing it out!

Reusable set piece & can be saved for the future, like most props/sets

That's so sad seeing the Castle Theatre being gutted. It really is the end of an era. Hopefully they saved the giant Creature puppet! Speaking of which, this made its short-lived debut 14 years ago (July 1st, 2009)

Never Forget

Amusement Insider decided to take a crack at it, and yeah no: this looks genuinely phenomenal.

Dang you beat me to it!

Yeah this looks much more like it! They did a great job adding all of the scenic to give a good idea how the track interacts with the terrain!

I think what really made this better, is when you look at the second and third launch; and how freaking demonic that entire sequence is.

Speed ontop of speed ontop of freaking speed. It looks like it'd do some insane ejector airtime.

 

[BriefCasey]

I think with or without the drift (preferably with of course), I'd be totally down for this if this is what we get. That inversion at 1:19 looks insane in particular.

 

[highdefrex]

I watched that on full screen with headphones on and my heart was pumping, hah. If this is what's coming, or even close to it, I'm gonna be riding this nonstop.

 

[metrobase_mayor]

Not only is riding this going to be amazing, just watching it fly between the upper and lower lots is going to be thrilling in itself.
It's really going to enhance the energy of the entire park.

 

[ParksandSights]

This has such a great blend of elements. Speed, hangtime, inversions, interaction with the terrain, even some pops of airtime. Then you potentially add in the drifting? Sign me up
