Fast & Furious Is Getting Its Own Roller Coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood

The Fast & Furious roller coaster is finally speeding its way over to Universal Studios Hollywood.

The California-based Universal resort announced on Wednesday that the new thrill ride based on the high-octane racing film franchise is now under construction. We don’t know exactly how fast the ride will be built, as it hasn’t released a development timeline.

Universal said in a press release that the Fast & Furious roller coaster will be equipped with “innovative and technological achievements never previously employed” by any other amusement park ride. It added that the roller coaster will be built “with a state-of-the-art ride system uniquely created to engulf guests within the dynamic Fast & Furious universe.”

The new Fast & Furious roller coaster comes on the heels — or should we say “wheels” — of Nintendo’s new immersive and interactive land of Super Nintendo World opening at Universal Studios Hollywood in earlier this year. The Mario-themed land, which debuted at Universal Studios Japan in 2021, features Mario Kart: Bowser’s Challenge, where riders race through AR projections of iconic racetracks from the Mario Kart games as they race against Bowser and his Koopa army.

Universal boasted the success of the Fast & Furious franchise over the last 20 years since its debut title The Fast and the Furious with the late Paul Walker and Vin Diesel, raking in over $7 billion at the global box office. Those numbers come despite mixed reviews of the latest film, Fast X, which serves as the penultimate title in the series.
