Exploring Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift
1/5
Ride in a car inspired by the films
The coaster’s ride vehicles take design cues from four memorable cars in the Fast & Furious franchise: Dominic Toretto’s Dodge Charger, Han’s Mazda RX-7, Brian O’Conner’s Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra. Each design brings a different look from the films to the attraction.
Experience 360-degree rotations
Unlike a conventional coaster car, each ride vehicle rotates as it moves along the track. The system is designed to create the sensation of drifting at high speed, placing the rotating vehicles at the centre of the ride experience.
Look out for the track’s major elements
The 4,100-foot (about 1,250-metre) track includes four launches, three inversions and sections that pass over and under parts of the park’s multi-level Starway escalator. The layout combines aerial track sections with high-speed movement across the hillside.
See the Fast & Furious-inspired mural
After the ride, look for the large-scale mural on the arrival platform, created by artist Tristan Eaton. It depicts the street-racing finale from the first The Fast and the Furious film, featuring the Dodge Charger and Toyota Supra.
Take in the attraction’s garage-inspired design
The ride entrance is housed in a large structure designed to resemble a red-brick garage. Look out for the stationary replica cars outside the entrance and a section of track visible through a transparent enclosure along the queue.
