Overview
- Crews have begun pull‑through tests using ropes and anchored spools to move test cars slowly along the track as part of low‑speed verification.
- A Dodge Charger‑style test car with rider‑reach envelope frames is staged on the first launch to confirm clearances and rider safety near close scenery.
- The ride’s cars are built to rotate 360 degrees to simulate drifting, and crews are using multiple vehicle types during these early checks.
- Construction teams are installing themed elements and steelwork around the station and launch, including faux shipping‑container panels and a jackknifed truck prop that will hide track elements.
- The coaster, replacing Fast & Furious – Supercharged and reusing much of the former Rip Ride Rockit footprint, remains on track for powered testing and a 2027 opening as Universal finishes final verification.
