"The coaster will feature four heavily detailed miniature cars as ride vehicles. These four-seaters - mimicking a Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-Y, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra, all complete with pull-down lap-bars and working taillights - were unveiled at a media event Wednesday."
"The attraction, the second outdoor coaster at the park after the more kid-focused 'Harry Potter' ride Flight of the Hippogriff, was timed at running about two minutes around the track, which goes over and under the park's famed hillside escalators. Hollywood Drift will reach a top speed of 72 mph."
"The fact that Universal has been able to pack such a mighty experience into a tight piece of real estate should be positive news for coaster enthusiasts. By comparison, the family coaster Flight of the Hippogriff is only about a minute, whereas Disney California Adventure's Incredicoaster comes in at more than 2 and a half minutes."
Universal Studios Hollywood unveiled its upcoming Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster, the park's second outdoor coaster. The attraction features four-seater ride vehicles designed as iconic cars from the franchise: a Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-Y, Nissan Skyline GT-R, and Toyota Supra. Each vehicle includes pull-down lap-bars and working taillights. The coaster reaches speeds of 72 mph and runs approximately two minutes, navigating over and under the park's hillside escalators. This runtime and speed positioning makes it more substantial than the family-focused Flight of the Hippogriff but shorter than Disney's Incredicoaster. Universal designed the vehicles to provide authentic car experiences while delivering significant thrills within the park's limited real estate.
