Aerial footage posted August 23 reveals one access route for Halloween Horror Nights (HHN) soundstage houses in the construction area for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift at Universal Studios Hollywood.

The image's arrows mark the route, but the post does not name the house or provide a construction schedule. The visual adds a current site detail to the announced Hollywood Drift project.

The Scene 1 photo also contains a tractor-trailer truck cab and a corrugated steel wall. In the earlier sequence, cars leaving the station face the wall, turn right, stop, reverse toward the first launch and pass the truck cab.

Halloween Horror Nights Access Route Appears in the Construction Area

The new image documents the routing of one access for the HHN soundstage houses. It does not establish which house will use the route, when that work will finish or whether the route will remain visible after construction.

Scene 1 Now Includes a Corrugated Wall and Truck Cab

The new pieces add physical detail to the first section of the ride's layout. The aerial image has a tractor-trailer cab beside the wall; this report does not identify a film scene, final show package or opening date for the set.

Universal's Hollywood Coaster Uses Four Ride Vehicle Designs

Universal announced Hollywood Drift as a high-speed outdoor coaster with a 4,100-foot track, rotating ride vehicles and a top speed of up to 72 mph. Its announced lineup includes a Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra.

The current construction photo documents what has been added to Scene 1. No matching first-party image of this truck-cab installation appears on the attraction or media pages.
