If that’s the case, wouldn’t the cars be facing the hill most of the time? Not very exciting, at least the way I’m imagining it.

Depends on:
  1. What the coaster is doing at the time, people don't tend to scream for the entire.
  2. What they build beside/around the coaster ie tunnels or walls.

Interesting how most the comments online I’ve seen today are saying they are glad to have a coaster, but are not impressed with the IP chosen.

It kind of falls into the element of how Fast has been handled as a Theme Park IP, and how inadequate it really has been for a while.

I imagine things will shift once more can be properly seen.

I mean I've from the start not been a fan of the IP

F&F is a dying IP and very limited in many ways. Not much merch to sell, ride wise it's not that interesting of a setting (I mean look at west coast racers.....at six Flags we already have this theme at other parks)

The ride will do well, no idea as well as many on here think because I think us fans and general public have different wants. We will see if this coaster packs people in, I think it will do well but the hype will die within a year and become on par with Mummy/Jurassic on wait times.

Which many will say thats not bad, but I think with the right theme and IP you could make a similar coaster and draw even more people in
