We have a fantastic view of the Fast and Furious coaster site thanks to shots by KTLA 5 News that were taken last week.
Tons of progress has been made since our last update a couple of months ago. Concrete pillars are up for the load/unload area as well as the first launch from the station. Over to the right near the pedestrian pathway, you can see the foundation for the beginning of the queue to develop. New walls are being put up to the left of the hill and that shows you just how big the station building will be. The building will encompass the queue, station, and maintenance bay.
In the next shot, you can see the large white tower crane that will be used to hoist the track pieces into place later this year.
Moving down below, you can see the rest of the site which as of this moment is just a bunch of dirt, but they have been working very hard terraforming that side of the hill for support prep. This section is where the majority of the track will be and will go up very quickly once they start going vertical.
The last shot is just a very wide shot of the entire project site just to show off how big it is and how visible it will be from the park and from the surrounding areas.
Work is moving very rapidly for this coaster and many are speculating that this coaster will open in Early 2025 and possibly soft open later this year.
This coaster is expected to havemultiple launches and reach speeds of up to 73mph. The coaster will also have multiple inversions, some with scream shields, and will have a controlled spin to make it feel like you are drifting along the track.
