Universal Studios Hollywood's new outdoor roller coaster, "Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift," is facing noise complaints from residents in the nearby Toluca Lake community as it undergoes technical rehearsals ahead of its official opening.

Capable of reaching speeds up to 72 mph, the more than 4,100-foot attraction is the park's first high-speed outdoor coaster. It features 360-degree rotating ride vehicles inspired by the "Fast & Furious" film franchise, according to Universal Studios Hollywood’s website.

During employee previews and technical rehearsals, neighbors reported that the screams from test riders echoed through their community and were difficult to ignore, as reported by Fox 11 Los Angeles.

A Universal Studios Hollywood spokesperson told Fox News Digital that the venue is actively reviewing sound levels as rehearsals continue. "We appreciate hearing from the community, and that feedback is an important part of the process," the spokesperson said. The park also emphasized that it values feedback from local residents, as noted by Todd Martens of the Los Angeles Times.

The coaster remains in technical rehearsals while sound levels are being assessed to address community concerns.
