  "summary": "Universal Studios Hollywood has set an opening date for its new rollercoaster, Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift. The ride will open on September 16. According to Deadline, the coaster will allow fans to reach speeds of 72 mph.\n\nThe ride has been delayed from its original summer opening date due to technical issues and controversy over noise levels. TheWrap reports that Universal has taken steps to address these concerns, including installing additional sound-blocking barriers and adjusting the coaster's operating hours.\n\nThe attraction's opening coincides with the 25th anniversary of the \"Fast & Furious\" franchise. A new film in the series, \"Fast Forever,\" is scheduled for release in March 2028.",
