Universal Studios Hollywood says it will add another sound barrier around Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift after nearby residents complained about riders’ screams. The park also pledged to keep the rollercoaster closed from 8AM to 9AM through the end of the year, though residents in affluent Toluca Lake say existing noise controls are insufficient.
