The Fast & Furious roller coaster has been rumored for Universal Studios Hollywood for over a year. Reportedly, the coaster was being planned before COVID-19 caused theme parks to shut down and projects to be delayed.
Concept art leaked for the Fast & Furious ride and was shared by Screamscape.com. According to that report, the working title of the coaster is Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. It would be in the Upper Lot, descend towards the Lower Lot, and then come back up.
After concerns about sound from neighboring property owners, Universal Studios Hollywood was testing roller coaster audio in the area in April.
