AI Summary

Universal Studios Hollywood will add a second sound barrier to its Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster after nearby Toluca Lake residents complained about the ride’s loud screams. In a meeting with at least 350 attendees, park officials also pledged to keep the coaster idle between 8 a.m. and 9 a.m. for the remainder of the year. The attraction, which opened on September 16, already includes an existing barrier, a design that minimizes noise at its 72 mph speed, and rider cars that turn away from the residential area during key scream moments. Residents say these measures remain insufficient and are pressing for further noise reduction.
