Summary
Toluca Lake residents say screams from test riders on Universal Studios Hollywood’s new Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster have become a day-and-night nuisance during technical rehearsals.
Universal said it is actively reviewing sound levels as the ride continues testing, adding that community feedback is part of the pre-opening process.
The 4,100-foot attraction—Universal Studios Hollywood’s first high-speed outdoor coaster—uses 360-degree rotating vehicles and has not yet officially opened.
Online reaction split over the complaints, with some arguing noise is expected near a long-established theme park while others said screams every 40 seconds would be disruptive.
