'Fast & Furious' ride almost ready at Universal Studios

Universal Studios Hollywood has begun peeling back the curtain- or opening the garage? - on its new "Fast & Furious"-inspired coaster coming to the park this summer.

The coaster will feature four heavily detailed miniature cars as ride vehicles.

These four-seaters - mimicking a Dodge Charger, Mazda RX-7, Nissan Skyline GT-R and Toyota Supra, all complete with pull-down lap-bars and working tail-lights were unveiled at a media event last week.

But perhaps the most exciting news out of the event is just how meaty of a coaster Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift looks to be.

The attraction, the second outdoor coaster at the park after the more kid-focused "Harry Potter" ride Flight of the Hippogriff, was timed at running about two minutes around the track, which goes over and under the park's famed hillside escalators. Hollywood Drift will reach a top speed of 72 mph.
