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

Why didn’t they just make proper scream tubes???

Please let me know if I’m mistaken but I just heard they shut down the line and closed the ride for the day. I hope that isn’t true because I’m not off work yet.

Here was the issue: Train valleyed.

Be right back, making stickers that say "The Valley" with the silhouette of the coaster stuck in this position.

I personally think that unless you or someone you know lives in Toluca Lake, your opinion on the sound issue is probably null.

I lived directly next to Kings Island for 9 months, a park with far more far louder roller coasters. Trust me, it's Karens being Karens.

I subscribe to the radical theory that people should have a say about the environment they live in, and that say should not be immediately dismissed because you *checks notes* really want a roller coaster to open.

You have to deal with stuff you don't like for your entire life. This doesn't impact the environment or their bills, it's only slightly annoying. It's entitlement.

People like this are the exact reason why we don't have good public transportation in 99% of the country.

The sound is part of the environment they live in ... and they get to determine how annoying they find it. It's not entitlement to expect Universal to honor its agreement (which, it should be noted, it appears they're trying to do!)

No dude, it is not lol. Conflating this with actual NIMBYism suggests to me you're out of your depth here.

At least these guys probably have the honor of being the first ones to be evac'd off(?)

I'm here right now and got to ride the coaster 4 times before it closed its doors. The valley happened much earlier on in the day and they quickly got the train running back through the course with the guests riding. The line closure has nothing to do with it. The ride is still cycling the rest of the guests that had gotten in the queue before it closed up and its likely that the queue will reopen sometime tonight. When I was waiting for the coaster to open this morning, a bunch of team members kept telling us the ride wasn't going to open today in an attempt to make the giant mob go away and yet, it opened.

Makes sense now. Glad to hear they had a plan. Any footage or word of how they did it? I wonder if there's a launch ready ro go in that area in the event of one.

This is actual NIMBYism! I don't tell people having parties during the day to shut up because I'm annoyed at the sound. That wouldn't be any of my business, just like this isn't theirs.
