Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift (USH) - General Discussion

Important to note that they are already meeting the ordinance, and are just trying to go above and beyond for the neighbours, which is good on Universal.

I wonder if they could keep it running if the new sound walls are not within the perimeter fence?

By the time this actually gets to grand open, it’ll be an indoor coaster.

I wouldn’t complain if they did that. Doing this would put California’s fully indoor coaster count to 4, so we have a way’s to go before we catch up to Orlando’s count lol

Not that I'm doubting you, but is there a source for this? I've seen it mentioned a few places, but I haven't yet seen anything official confirming it.

Maybe Universal will postpone the opening to early winter so they can enclose more of the elements.

Wait, I was right? I gotta learn to shut my yapper.

It's explicitly stated in that council members post, shared by 12th man:

"We know the community is concerned about the noise from Universal’s new Fast & Furious ride, and Universal has provided an update: while recent sound testing met the park’s requirements, they will be installing two additional sound barriers to help reduce noise. The construction is expected to be completed by early next month.

Stay tuned for a community meeting announcement from TLHOA and Universal for residents to hear directly from the park and ask questions.

Meanwhile, if you have any questions or additional concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact Universal’s Community Hotline at 818-622-2995 or community.hotline@nbcuni.com"

Thank you! I missed that there was additional information in the caption.

Unclear to me if they can continue to run the ride while they construct these barriers, but boy, do they need this thing open yesterday.
