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

[Mr_Pendington]

But some Influencers told me it wouldn't open until later.....lol

Glad USH is doing this will shut everyone up now

It seems September is the month since these previews are happening a little later in August; summer is summer ig LOL

PASS MEMBER PREVIEWS ARE LIVE!!!

Got mine in for the 21st since I've got a Vegas vacation on the first few days.

I wonder if this means the additional sound barrier construction won't hinder operations.

Does this mean public technical rehearsals are over? I was going to do Disneyland this weekend and was hoping I could stop by, ahaha (19-23 is such inconvenient timing).

I think public tech rehearsals will still go up to the 18th.

Also got mine for Sunday the 23rd at 1:00!

Soundwall construction will happen overnight

 

[BriefCasey]

Very interesting. Glad to know it seems ride operations indeed won't be affected.

This is vaguely on-topic, but I just had to share. This got me dying.

From the passholder preview FAQ, we got our dimensions for the locker space, which are 11” W x 12” H x 16” D. I'd say that's helpful for anyone who'd like to know when planning.

ride not open today 8/13/26. NBC employee preview only.

 

[Hello]

Just a head’s up, the ride will NOT be open to the public on Sunday. I can confirm this I know of people that will be riding Sunday and they will require a wristband and check in at City Walk.

Just wanted to save you the disappointment in case you were hoping to drive up to catch a soft on Sunday.

 

[Pacific]

Thank youuuuuu, just saved me. I’ll be rope dropping on Saturday then and hoping for the best.

Glad I posted then! Don’t know for sure if Saturday will open to the GP, but my gut says you should be fine.

Whelp, you were 100% right, we got to ride 3 times in single rider! Didn’t take more than 20 minutes for each wait.

Awesome! So glad you got to enjoy it! You’re now currently at the same ride count I’m at! Curious to know where it ranks for California coasters for you.

Got my Passholder Preview for 8/19 as I can now go that day, so gonna try and get in as many rides so I can fully understand my feelings towards this thing. First ride was Car 4, Second was Car 1 both times. My wife was initially disappointed as she rode in Car 1 her first ride, saying it was kind of mild (her favorite coaster is X2). But then she got a ride in Car 2 and had a VERY different reaction, ahaha.

I’ll post my full thoughts in the review thread soon-ish.

 

[Freak]

Got to go on it again twice today! There was a private riding event for Toluca Lake residents. I don’t live down there, but I know people that do!

Got two rides in the back car which is my favorite place to sit. Both were phenomenal rides! My ride count is now at 5!

This was my first time getting music! The only thing is the music doesn’t start playing until the final break run. So that music you heard on that video posted a page or two ago…that was it. Very odd there was no music the entire time.

Anyway, going back next Sunday!

I've been on three times, twice in car 3, and once in car 4, and I was much more impressed in car 4. And since I think car 2 spins the same way, that may be nearly as good (though car 4 does have a pretty dang good pop of air towards the beginning).

I didn't get any music at all, just car noises. I suspect it could be related to the fact if you're being held outside the stations for an extended time.

Having been on this now 147 times, I have to say, it just doesn’t hit as much as it did the 89th time.

It seems like Car 1 and 3 are "Easy" Mode and Car 2 and 4 are the "real" deal. Kind of wish every car rotated similarly for a more consistent thrill, but I also get what they're going for here.
