Fast & Furious Ride Adds Sound Barriers | Los Angeles News

Universal Studios Hollywood is adding two new sound barriers to the Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift ride after neighbors complained about relentless screaming—even though official tests say noise levels are compliant. Councilmember Adrin Nazarian confirmed the upgrades, which will be finished by early September, as part of ongoing efforts to reduce noise impact, including 900 feet of existing sound walls and redesigned coaster cars that spin to avoid directing screams toward homes. The park remains open to community feedback and is monitoring sound levels during rehearsals, aiming to strike a balance between thrilling rides and neighborhood peace. The ride still plans to open later this year—fingers crossed these tweaks make a real difference. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
