Garner Jnr loves roller coasters. And the mostly-retired television director and actor has a place in his heart for Universal Studios Hollywood, the theme park in California atop the studio where he spent many days behind a camera.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">He also adores the tranquillity of his home. As a resident of Toluca Lake, the tiny neighbourhood nestled below The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Super Nintendo World and other park staples, Garner watched with curiosity as Universal Studios began erecting Fast &amp; Furious: Hollywood Drift, its new outdoor, high-speed thrill ride.

There were screams. They were loud, piercing even double-glazed windows. And they were constant.<\/p>\n<p datatype=\"p\" data-qa=\"Component-Component\" class=\"e8zc9q40 css-1c6uqr6 ec74h0k1\">\u201cYou think something is happening,\u201d says Patrick Nazari, another resident. \u201cLike someone is getting murdered out there.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<center><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/www.scmp.com\/lifestyle\/travel-leisure\/article\/3362486\/someone-getting-murdered-out-there-fast-furious-roller-coaster-rattles-locals?utm_source=rss_feed\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article At Source <\/a><br \/>\n<center\/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Leonard R.
