Universal Adds $19.95 Single‑Ride Express for Fast & Furious Coaster

A paid single-use pass that lets visitors bypass the standby line for one ride increases per-person costs for park guests.

Overview

  • Universal confirmed Wednesday that starting November 2 it will sell a single-use Universal Express pass for Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift with a listed starting price of $19.95 per person.
  • The purchase covers only one ride on the coaster and is sold separately from park admission and from the multi-attraction Universal Express product.
  • Universal describes $19.95 as a starting price, which means the fee may vary and could be higher on busier days, making the per-group cost notably larger for families.
  • Guests can still ride Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift with regular admission through the standby queue, so the change adds an optional, paid shortcut rather than gating access to the attraction.
  • The move echoes single-attraction skip-the-line models used elsewhere and could influence pricing decisions for Universal Orlando’s separate Fast & Furious coaster scheduled for 2027, though Universal has not confirmed any Orlando plans.
