While visiting Universal Studios Hollywood this week, we checked out the latest construction progress on the new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster set to open at the park in 2026.
Construction is visible on what likely could be the station for the coaster, with much more track installed since our last visit in May.
The coaster is making use of land between the Upper and Lower Lot of the theme park. At the moment, one of the best places to see construction is from the escalator to the lower lot looking behind The Simpsons Ride. The wall seen below has been encased in concrete since our last update.
