Roller coaster fans will be thrilled to see Universal's new blockbuster attraction coming in 2027. 

Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift will replace Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster as a high-octane outdoor roller coaster. 

The new coaster will "put guests in the driver seat of the high-speed thrills of Universal Pictures' 'Fast & Furious' universe like never before," according to a news release. 

"Riders will experience the exhilarating sensation of 360-degree drifting as they speed through jaw-dropping maneuvers — including a 170-foot vertical 'spike' that will send riders nearly 17 stories in the air," according to the release. 

Fast & Furious Supercharged will permanently close in 2027.
