Aerial look at recently added track in Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. The varying height supports here were unusual to see in previous aerial photos. Switch track will be at left.

Only Universal knows the name of this section of Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Might be called The Speed Bump. These aerial photos show it will have electromagnetic fins to accelerate cars up The Spike, and then through the rest of the ride. Likely will be safety braking here too.

Rectangular foundations in these aerial photos are where a switch track will be for Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Cars will first pass through the switch to rise up The Spike. Cars then descend and pass through the switch to the rest of the ride.

At center is a motor in Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift track. Track slopes to the unload/load platforms, and cars can queue during a ride stop. Motors control the movement into unload/load. In station frame is end of track that will connect to switch track, and the ride start.

Motors recently added to Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift track. Tires will be mounted vertically that will propel cars into the station for unload/load.
