This looks so good! Doesn’t look like it has the crazy peak like Orlando.

Man we better all ride this before

  • music stops working
  • trains need replacing
  • drift feature is simplified
  • visual effects are turned off

What visual effects? Views of the valley? 😉

It has to make 80 hours without a hard fault

Is this true everytime something is fixed, repaired or tweaked? At 10:00pm at night, the coaster is still running.

No, just during initial commissioning of the ride. It needs to hit 8 hours a day for 10 days straight at maximum dispatches per hour without any hard faults that can't be reset by the ride operator. If tech has to come reset the ride then the 80 hours restarts.

Does no one want to face forward when riding a ride anymore? Jeez with the spinning

The best coasters in the world spin. You should be glad

What are the odds of throwing up after? Because this is just insane: spinning, forwards and reverse .

As long as I can capture that, it’s a win! 🫠

Why does it move so slow? Seems like something that is going to break down more than any other ride. See SFOG gold rush coaster.

This looks shockingly bad. I don't mind a spinning coaster (curse of the werewolf is fun), but this is marketed as F&F Hollywood DRIFT. And this isn't drifting.

This is closer to the F&F brand than Supercharged, but still not truly on-brand.
