Get ready for an exciting update from the world of theme parks! Universal Studios Florida is transforming, and the latest aerial photos reveal a construction site buzzing with activity for a brand-new roller coaster.
User bioreconstruct (https://x.com/bioreconstruct) took to the skies to capture the progress at Universal Orlando, and the images are captivating. The former site of the iconic Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit coaster (a beloved thrill ride) is now a hub of construction, as seen in the photo taken from the park's rear, showcasing the vast construction site. But here's where it gets intriguing: the construction stretches all the way to the CityWalk waterway, leaving fans wondering about the scale of this new project.
Zooming in on the CityWalk area, one can observe utility work and foundation preparations, hinting at a substantial new attraction. The open walkway next to the Hard Rock Cafe offers a unique perspective on the massive undertaking. And this is the part most people miss—the sheer size of the construction becomes evident when viewed from this angle.
As we venture deeper into the Studios, an auger setup for foundation work comes into view, occasionally visible to park visitors near the old Rip Ride Rockit entrance. Further back, near the Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon and adjacent to the Mummy attraction, a service building for the coaster seems to be taking shape. The ground is being excavated, and the photos reveal a significant depression with workers hard at work. Notably, coaster track spurs have already been installed in this area.
Adding to the excitement, Universal Orlando Resort's official X account teases a new Fast & Furious attraction, which may very well be this highly anticipated coaster. The announcement is set for January 20, 2026, leaving fans on the edge of their seats. But will it be a thrilling coaster or a themed attraction?
