Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift coaster (USH) - Opening 2026

[BriefCasey]

All the more tempting to quote the ride at a few points.

Industry professionals who attend these events have an implicit understanding that any privileged information discussed stays at the event and isn't to be repeated or posted elsewhere.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. Makes sense.

Well the park is open and not heard anything about soft openings....

No inside info, but I really don't see softs happening this week. I think Monday is a very real possibility.

Also they better not have softs on Saturday and Sunday. I'm blocked out both days as well as all Gold pass members!

It would be a WILD weekend if they did a soft opening....for sure the park would be sold out the next three days if they decided to

But next week would make more sense to help the TMs

It's been "probably next week" for the last 12 weeks

A Broken Clock is right twice a day, lol

sorry my bad... "we expect it to open sometime this summer"

Damn, didn't check that. Makes me glad I have a con to tide me over.

That’s exactly when it’s going to soft open

 

[Rideguy70]

I don't know, I can't see it soft opening during one of the most busy times of the year. Seems like it would just be a bad time to test it all with the public with crowds that large. I'm thinking nothing this holiday weekend, but next week could be possible

I stumbled upon this gem on Instagram and thought it was funny.



As someone rightfully commented “Even a train makes more noise than that.”

As a fellow resident of Toluca Lake, these people are just complaining because they have nothing else better to do. It's really not that bad. And honestly you kind of have to try and listen for it to hear it properly. It's no worse than any of the other ambient noise you hear when outside.

Lmao. Imagine being an urban planner (like yours truly) and dealing with this on a 10x amplified basis .

They just ran a train full of ride operators, not sure if that means anything but it was cool to see people riding it

Could mean something. Could not. At this point we don't know if this could be a sign-off on the ride to open for the day or if this is just simply for fun on the TM's part. Either way, I am hearing a LOT of people on Insta talk about softs happening today but we've been playing this game for so long now that I've sort of lost hope.
Does anyone know if JW did its first soft opening before or after July 4?

 

[highdefrex]

If softs happen today, I'm so done with Universal.


I mean, that's a lie, but still.

 

[trentacoldbrew420]

I mean “a lot of people said” that about the 19th and some of us were dumb to stay from open to close (im some of us)

 

[Ron101]

I’ll wait till someone posts and confirms the softs. Can’t be wasting entire days at the park for the chance
