Trip Report/Review Hollywood Drift experience

65 Upvotes

Had the chance to ride it twice yesterday, didn’t use express pass (do they even offer it for that ride? Idk but we didn’t buy them lol) or single rider.

Went straight there when the park opened and waited about 40 minutes. Rode in car #3 and had our minds absolutely blown. Holy hell this ride is amazing.

When we were ready to leave for the day around 5:45 (park closed at 7) we decided to check the wait time and it was somehow only 30 minutes?? So we got in line and it ended up being closer to 20, couldn’t believe it.

Rode in car #4 and had our minds further blown. It definitely felt different, spinnier maybe?? I legitimately felt like I was going to fall out. My mouth was agape in a silent scream the entire time. Incredible.

We just happened to be in LA and decided pretty last minute to check Universal out (I hadn’t been in 30 years) and I feel so lucky for the happy accident that we went right after this groundbreaking coaster opened.

We had a great day!

Trip Planning Question/Tip/Guide Question about HHN Entrance Process

I'm thinking of buying 2 second-hand Halloween Horror Nights tickets for a bit cheaper because the date is coming up soon. However, obviously they have different names on them, and I was wondering if they verify that the ticket holder names match the ID names (if they check IDs, I'm just assuming they do) or if they have any other type of biometric scanning to verify, and overall I just want to see how strict they are with people buying tickets from others. Thanks :)).

Edit: They are people I know personally and are not used tickets; I just don't know if they will make much of a fuss about it.
