Universal Orlando in 2027:

  • Universal Orlando is set to open a marquee new roller coaster attraction in 2027 at Universal Studios Florida with the debut of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift.
  • The new coaster takes over the space once occupied by Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, and will be a high-speed outdoor coaster that features a 170-foot tall vertical spike that towers over a portion of Universal Citywalk near the entrance to Universal Studios Florida.
  • Not as high-profile as a brand new coaster, a new dining experience is also coming to Jurassic Park at Islands of Adventure as Thunder Falls Terrace is transformed, becoming the park's new signature full-service restaurant after the closure of Mythos in the razed Lost Continent area of the park.
