Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift completed its first inversion July 29 at Universal Studios Florida.

Bioreconstruct photographed the finished track element from above at 10:54 and 10:59 p.m. EDT. The wider view places it between the park and Universal CityWalk.

A second photo shows the new inversion and the surrounding supports.

Universal announced the Orlando version of Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift in January. The coaster is scheduled to open in 2027 with rotating ride vehicles designed to create a 360-degree drifting sensation.

The layout will also include a 170-foot vertical spike near CityWalk. That track element appeared in a July 16 video.

Track and support installation was already visible across the site in May. Universal has not announced a specific opening date.
