Universal Studios Hollywood | Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift | Intamin Spinning Launch| 2026

Does anyone think this will be open by early June? I might be in town that first week. I'm optimistically hoping Summer in Universal-speak is Memorial Day.
 
There's rumors/hopes of a mid to late May opening, but I don't know... not only is there still a lot to do, I feel like there have been an alarmingly few number of tests done where all the cars are rotating correctly and consistently. So I'm not going to be surprised if it's more mid-summer, and even then, it'll probably have a fair amount of downtime.

Those tests could also be done on purpose where they are purposefully testing cars like that. We have never seen a coaster like this on a large scale to my knowledge where they have a controller rotation. So maybe they test our every single scenario with the coaster to make sure all safety systems are working correctly.
 
While there's likely some truth to that, the fact of the matter is they need to do the most testing with all the cars spinning... and there's been very little of that.

Out of interest how do we know that? I assume only a few actual test runs have been filmed and there will have been many that haven't, plus I assume they can run tests after hours too (many parks do but in unsure here due to the sound regulations)
