Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will be the first high-speed outdoor coaster at Universal Studios Hollywood. The park’s two existing coasters include the 2004 Revenge of the Mummy indoor coaster and the 2016 Flight of the Hippogriff outdoor kiddie coaster.
The Hollywood Drift in the coaster name references the 2006 Universal Pictures “Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift” action film. Drift racers intentionally oversteer to the point of losing traction while maintaining control of the car.
Cars featured in “Tokyo Drift” included a Nissan Fairlady Z33, Silvia S15 Spec-S, Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution IX and Ford Mustang Fastback, according to Drifted.com.
