Universal Studios Hollywood dropped new intel on the upcoming Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster.

With its dynamic track design and high-speed thrills, it’s shaping up to be a standout for 2026.

Just a week after saying goodbye to MuppetVision 3D, Disney has revealed a revised layout for the upcoming Monsters, Inc. Land. While exact details are still under wraps, construction is already underway and fans of Mike and Sulley have good reason to be excited.
M3GAN has entered the chat—and the parks. If you’re heading to Universal Orlando, don’t be surprised if you run into M3GAN roaming near the Horror Makeup Show. It’s part of a promo for M3GAN 2 (in theaters June 27), and it’s also a delicious tease for Halloween Horror Nights. Just don’t blink. She’s watching.
We got our first look at a POV from AlpenFury, taken during a pull-through test. While the interior theming may not rival Disney’s Expedition Everest, the track itself looks smooth, fierce, and fast. It’s another exciting step forward for Canada’s Wonderland under the Six Flags banner.
The countdown is on. Cedar Point’s Siren’s Curse officially opens June 28th, and the hype is real. This high-thrill coaster promises to pull you deep into the legend with intense speed and unexpected twists. Are you ready to face the curse?
Starting tomorrow, SeaWorld Orlando begins its SeaWorld Spectacular, bringing extra entertainment, seasonal food, and nighttime energy to the park. Don’t miss out if you’re in town!
