My Dear Old Mum‘s driving prowess was legendary with Dad calling her Stirling Moss, so I’d venture that she was airborne long before Universal’s Fast & Furious Flying Cars.
Time has surely whizzed by since Jimmy Fallon, no less, was audio guiding us through a crazy Fast & Furious studio tour at Universal Hollywood.
And now our Universal buddies have only up and added to the fun with Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.
Universal Studios Hollywood has begun extended testing with its first launch of the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift ride vehicles.
As the theme park’s first-ever, high-speed outdoor roller coaster prepares to open in 2026.
The train containing the four ride vehicles, including the Dodge Charger, will be concealed during this initial test phase.
With the remaining ride vehicles revealed at a later date.
Get the drift
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will feature 360-degree rotation of the individual ride vehicles.
As guests travel along 4,100 feet of elaborate track – the equivalent of nearly 12 football fields – built with sound reduction technology.
So for those who haven’t been in a car with my daredevil Mum, and we know you’ll have your own, it’s a seamless sensation of drifting cars.
As guests spin in motion at fast speeds while speeding along an aerial track.
Get there Fast
That winds its way over sections of the theme park, including the multi-level escalator that connects the Upper and Lower Lots.
Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will be located on the Upper Lot of Universal Studios Hollywood.
Guests will queue up within an expansive garage-like structure before settling into one of four ride vehicles, designed to look like the iconic cars from the films.
Including Dominic Toretto’s 1970 Dodge Charger.
We found a return Aer Lingus flight from Dublin to Los Angeles (LAX) for a sample five days next month from €551.51 with Ireland’s special pre-clearance obviously.
