The rollercoaster’s cutting-edge system will fully immerse visitors in the world of the movie. This maintains Universal Destinations & Experiences’ decades of experience creating modern rollercoasters.

In October a snapshot of a geotechnical study submitted by the theme park was published on Twitter. This is when word of the new roller coaster first gained headlines.

The Concept behind the Fast and Furious coaster
The “Fast and Furious” coaster would have cars that “drift” on the coaster track to mimic the movement of cars in the movies, assuming the concept image is true. The theme park closed the Animal Actors show, the Special Effects show, and the Production Central Store. This was in order to create room for the upcoming attraction.A blog for theme parks Residents who live close to the amusement park have expressed concerns about the additional noise pollution the new attraction would cause in the neighbourhood. Sound levels were then tested in the vicinity of the new coaster’s planned position to determine how far the sound would travel. Further, no potential opening date has been announced at this time.
