Earlier this week, Universal Studios Hollywood revealed some new details about their upcoming Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift roller coaster. We stopped by the park yesterday to check in on the latest construction progress.
Construction is visible on what likely could be the station for the coaster, with track visible on top and footer installed nearby.
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.
