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

[Evan]

honest to god i can not believe y’all are crying about a tan canopy.

Who’s crying? It’s ugly though. Hopefully it’s not done.

 

[Viator]

I get the sense that is the finished canopy.

could it of been a different color? Maybe, but I don’t mind it. Do I wish it could’ve been a solid glass canopy, sure, but I suspect it’s intentional that they opted to the mesh canopy so they can have anything bounce off if a loose article somehow gets onto the ride vehicles.

 

[Wesker69]

At least make the mesh BLUE-ish to match the Starway canopy! Or even black to more or less be invisible

Also my OCD now expects to see this awful canopy on the rest of the Starway stairs

 

[Freak]

Pretty sure it’s brown-ish color to blend in when someone inevitably throws up on it.

 

[Hello]

Biggest news of the day, Hollywood Drift will have Single Rider.

I really like how Universal made a very cool photo up with the Skyline and the Charger in front of the mural

 

[Freak]

Great news everyone! Universal apparently read Jerrod’s post and they’re moving forward with installing the glass on the scream shields again!

Anyone know what's up with these footers? Haven't heard anyone discussing these yet (that I know of)


Do we have any idea if this ride will have forced metal detectors to board? Didn't see any mention of that at the media preview.

Also, another car has shown up, this time at the Studio Tour entrance plaza. Not really sure if it's about F&F, but posting here in case. Anyone have any idea?

Sound Wall--they still have one more set that needs to be fully constructed. From the permits back in the day, and the locker setup's we could of seen from the media tours; it appears they will be forcing dual-sided lockers for the sake of the attraction. I would expect metal detectors.

When the media people got to preview the station, they went up the stairs that were meant to be the ride exit. Because of that, they weren’t able to view the locker situation.

I do remember a couple of years back, we were looking at the blueprints for the station. They did explicitly mention a metal detector so, yeah most likely there will be a mandatory locker policy.

I personally don’t mind because the queue situation will be designed for that, so you won’t be without your phone for long. Also, I’m already used to UO’s locker policy. I’m just curious to know how the GP is gonna take that.

Hey guys? I think they might actually rectifying the solid panels in the extended queue.


I'm at the park today, so in case I'm looking in the wrong spot, lemme know. Haven't seen any testing today btw, so they're probably not testing.

Pardon the double post, but I wanted to clear this up; That's still the DeLorean but covered up. It was still there today and when it got covered up, shape checked out to what's here.

 

[FBarnhill]

I don't understand why they couldn't just extend the Starway roof canopy over the stairs like they did when they expanded the escalators

Universal's financial advisors are Krusty the Clown and Mr. Krabs.

Looks like that one user’s prediction was right

Glad what I heard from TM turns out to be true Had lots of discussion with them about this yet at the end, they really do listen feedbacks. From restoring upper water, volcanic effect from volcano bay to this. Def worth of write and talk to them more!

 

[simon]

Hopefully the fence part is true. You have one of the best views out of any theme park on the planet and you block it with a solid fence?!

Good news, now they are removing them !

 

[Eckert]

So...this won't be ready to soft open for the first night of Fan Fest I take it?

Yeah I’m predicting around July earliest since they haven’t even completed spinning fine tuning, enough testing cycles, instelling rest of sound barriers and glass panels

Fan fest starts in less then 7 weeke

We haven’t seen many dummy test, let alone TMs

So I’d very much doubt it sadly
