Hollywood Drift Ride Vehicles

Each coaster train will consist of four cars resembling famous vehicles from the Fast & Furious series. The lead car will be Dom’s Dodge Charger. We could see the body of an orange car inside the ride’s loading area.

Black seats are visible in the car, with plastic wrap around their supports. This appears to be the back of Brian O’Conner’s Toyota Supra.

Gift Shop

A sign reads “101 Exchange Store NOW OPEN” on a sunny day at the Hollywood Drift outdoor entertainment venue.

Nearby, the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift gift shop opened a few weeks ago, but it now has signage and a name. According to this sign, it’s the 101 Exchange Store.

Brick building with large windows, palm trees, benches, and people walking—Hollywood Drift signs: "Fine Gifts" & "Cold Drinks.

Lettering has been added above the display windows of the shop. One window advertises collectibles and cold drinks. The other lists fine gifts, toys, and apparel. The shop currently doesn’t offer Fast & Furious merchandise.

A Hollywood Drift entrance sign was installed not long ago, and its support columns have been covered in black sheathing. We previously reported on the polluted sightline of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The entrance sign and mural are fully visible from inside the land.

Construction workers build near the Hollywood Drift roller coaster under a clear blue sky, cityscape in the background.

The coaster track was completed in the spring and will take guests up and down the mountainside. Crews are still working on theming around the coaster, including this area next to the queue building.

Construction workers build with steel beams and block walls, as Hollywood Drift echoes near a brick building with smokestacks.

There are dozens of structural pylons standing in this area, presumably to support future themed elements. This is where we saw crew members working on our most recent visit.
