Not everyone is a fan of the ride, though. Some neighbors of Universal Studios Hollywood have been complaining about the roller coaster’s noise levels. Well, Universal Studios is finally addressing those noise complaints by adding something new to the ride.
Halloween Horror Nights is almost here! If you can’t wait to shop till you drop at HHN, then today is your lucky day.

Universal Orlando, like all theme parks, isn’t immune to ride technical difficulties. Sometimes, it’s just one ride that has issues, but on other occasions, though rarer, there are times when entire power outages affect multiple parts of the park.
Universal Orlando
Yesterday, a power outage at Universal Orlando left about 70 riders stranded inside an attraction that many people wouldn’t assume to be one that needs intense evacuation measures, but alas, harnesses, ladders, and safety ropes were needed to rescue the guests.
Universal Studios Hollywood is about to get a major upgrade with its brand-new, first-ever fully outdoor roller coaster, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The ride was set to open on June 26th, but was then delayed until late summer.
