We have big news. Universal Orlando Resort has announced a brand new roller coaster! We finally know what will replace Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
So Much New Coming to Universal
Universal Orlando Resort is going to have so many new attractions coming in the next few years. And we can't wait for all the fun!
Not only did Universal open Epic Universe, a brand new theme park this year, but there is already an expansion in the works! In fact, Universal Orlando Resort announced new expansions or attractions for all three theme parks!
HERE is what we know so far about Epic Universe. And, we also know that over at Universal Islands of Adventure, work is underway to transform Lost Continent. Now we also know what is coming to Universal Studios Orlando!
What Will Replace Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit
Last year, Universal Studios said goodbye to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. The beloved old coaster made its last run in August.
Since then, there has been much speculation and wishful thinking for what would replace it. Today, Universal Orlando Resort announced that a new Fast & Furious coaster will take over the space!
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will put riders in the driver's seat of the high-speed thrills of Universal Pictures' Fast & Furious universe like never before. Riders will experience the exhilarating sensation of 360-degree drifting as they speed through jaw-dropping maneuvers - including a 170-foot vertical "spike" that will send riders nearly 17 stories in the air.
Universal Studios Hollywood is also opening its own, one-of-a-kind Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift outdoor roller coaster later this year. You can read about it HERE.
When Does Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift Open
Universal has announced that Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in Universal Orlando will open in 2027! But that also means that as Universal Studios Florida makes way for this exciting new experience, Fast & Furious - Supercharged will permanently close in 2027.
The new Fast & Furious Coaster opens in 2027.
We will keep you updated as more details emerge.
