Overview
- Universal’s new Intamin Multi‑Dimension coaster began technical rehearsals with limited public soft openings on Monday, July 27, allowing guests to ride while the park fine‑tunes operations.
- The outdoor coaster uses 360° rotating ‘drifting’ cars, multiple launches and four inversions across about 4,000–4,100 feet of track and reaches a top speed of 72 mph, the fastest in Universal’s global portfolio.
- Test runs have drawn noise complaints from Toluca Lake residents who reported loud rider screams, prompting Universal to add sound‑reduction features, install barriers and actively review decibel readings during rehearsals.
- Operations have shown typical testing issues, including a brief train stall that was swung back into motion during rehearsals, underscoring that availability is intermittent and an official opening date is not yet set.
- A sister Hollywood Drift is under construction at Universal Studios Florida for 2027, and county officials are engaging with residents and the park as sound monitoring will influence whether rehearsals proceed to a formal debut.
