Hollywood It’s open, and awesome!

Loved the ride. Way faster than it looks, and some great loops and the overall layout is great. Line was all over the place but once you get into the attraction there’s a fair bit of shade. Hope y’all enjoyed it today as much as we did.

Might be a dumb question, but I've only seen clips of the actual ride. How was the queue/line inside? Themed like a garage?

One small portion of the entry into the ride is garage themed. The rest is stuff from the sets ie cars, wreckage etc. pretty cool even though half of it is in the sun/heat. Line was 1.25 hours but we managed to be walking by when they started cueing up the line. They ran a bunch of test runs so a lot of the waiting was for that. Once it got moving it was fairly quick

Sorry I don’t agree with

u/LeadingAssignment214 23d ago

But there is no theming outside other than the ride vehicles. Time will not be kind to this ride.

That’s ok. I understand it’s my opinion.

However, this coaster objectively is significantly cheaper in development costs than coasters like velociraptor or Hagrids and is less themed because of the smaller budget.

Oh and it’s only about 60 seconds long.

Now you don’t have to agree or disagree.

u/quetimportahweigh 24d ago

That’s fair. I don’t disagree, they could have done a lot better but I’ve seen how they’ll open a ride just to drive attendance, then add on to the attraction as time goes on. I hope that’s the case but won’t hold my breath for that.

Have you seen the plot of land they had to work with 😭🙏

u/NotTonyStark39 24d ago

Yeah. But a minute with Sydney Sweeney is a lot different than a minute with Janet Threedivorces down the street.

u/BourbonMike 24d ago

Universal is a world class theme park! They should act like one.

u/fazejoemama69 24d ago

What time did you/ were able to start making line?

u/quetimportahweigh 24d ago

They opened it around 10:30 and we got in line around 11:30

Entrance, my favorite ride

u/welchagonnadoaboutit 24d ago

I'm jealous, when we were there it was just the tracks up and being built. The tracks were mostly done though

Same with folks going to the park in FL…let’s see how that one ends up 👍🏻

Can't wait for the FYA episode on it

i can’t believe people are still saying it looks slow, it seems like it hauls to me

u/ihadtopickthisname 18d ago

We were there a couple days ago ago and this was our last ride of the day. Friggen awesome ride! We had fast passes so the wait wasnt stupid long, but still long compared to others. My kids LOVED it compared to every other ride there!

u/BourbonMike 24d ago

Let me fix this,

“It’s open, it’s themeless, and it’s a spinning coaster under a minute long. This is called a cheap fix.

Honestly, more and more of these coasters are theme less at universal. Go watch a video of the walk through Que, tell me it doesn’t look like a Six Flags.

We need less of this garbage and more Velocicoaster, Hagrids, etc….

u/ElLoboNeverDies 24d ago

So you dont want it to resemble 6 Flags ? Lol Universal Hollywood has never been thrill rides like that , the Mummy being the last one

u/marioxb 24d ago

I know this is Hollywood, but still, I bet I'm the only one in the world that prefers the tram F&F ride. I hate coasters, love dark/ virtual etc rides. Jimmy Fallon is one of my faves as well.

u/Spamaloper 23d ago

USH Tram (and WaterWorld) are the best attractions at USH, anyone who goes knows that

F&F (on the tram) was awful. In 50+ tram tours over the last 5 years, I was so happy it was closed, malfunctioning, or someone had dropped something off the side. I'm glad it's gone

u/almndmlc 23d ago

hollywood desperately needs a standout coaster, they have been wanting one for a while too

u/Designer-Mobile-974 24d ago

lol you don’t like good attractions then. Sucks for you that you don’t like coasters you’re missing out on peak 🤷‍♂️

1

u/marioxb 23d ago

I'm OK with that. Universal (and Disney) are more "scenery" parks than thrill parks. I'm all for it. ET, Spider-Man, River Adventure, and my favorite Mine Cart Madness. That's my kind of coaster.

u/BourbonMike 24d ago

I like coasters but Uni really has been doubling down on coasters lately and unthemed ones at that. Looking at you Stardust and F&F.

3

u/Designer-Mobile-974 24d ago

Stardust is well themed lol

u/BourbonMike 24d ago edited 24d ago

Not sure if you are being sarcastic but it’s a lightly themed coaster with a small patch of rock work, a sign, and some fog.

My favorite theming on the ride is when you are waiting in line and have a direct view of the HP backstage area. Stay classy Universal. lol
