Universal Studios Hollywood, in Los Angeles, is both a working studio tour destination and a theme park. Its current lineup still includes the Studio Tour, Super Nintendo World and The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The biggest 2026 addition is Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift, which opened on 16 September 2026 on the Upper Lot.
Universal describes it as the park’s first high-speed outdoor roller coaster, and as the fastest coaster in the Universal Destinations & Experiences portfolio. Official figures include speeds of up to 72 mph (about 116 km/h) over 4,100 feet (about 1,250 metres) of track, with 360-degree rotation on individual vehicles, four launches and a dual-launching, split-ride track that passes over and under parts of the Starway escalator (Universal Destinations & Experiences, September 2026). A related Hollywood Drift coaster has been announced for Universal Studios Florida in 2027.
