I believe Mr. Spook is being sarcastic.

Oh. PSSSH, of course I knew that. :look:

 

[tiredoldspook]

Lol, me sarcastic......never.......lol

I have pictures of it running with either someone on it while it was 56 degrees. Eitherway, its progress. They'll be up later this week.

 

[snickers]

I had read somewhere a rumor that after Christmas that they would be installing more trains and the people mover would be functional, but it doesn't seem like that is happening. I checked the wait times for today and it was 150 minutes! I wish they would get express for this ride.

 

[lilmike09]

Currently 50 degrees and Rockt IS open with a 120 minute wait. All the LEDs are on and it looks great. Can't wait to experience it at night.

 

[tiredoldspook]

Well looks like it may finally be ready for a grand opening. As far as waiting 120 minutes to ride it,,uhm no.

 

[Tbad556]

When I was there, the ride was up to 180 minutes and at night was running in 40 degree weather.

 

[snoman]

Oh my lord, 180 minutes for Rockit??? I'm not waiting 3 hours for any ride. Top wait time ever for me was 2 hours for Top Thrill Dragster at Cedar Point, and Rockit is no TTD!

 

[Tbad556]

Yeah, it isn't the first time it has been that long. This year during RTU it also got up to 180 minutes. The best part was that single riders was only 15 minutes long.

 

[Rhian]

If I wanted to ride this, I'm guessing I should be there in the morning first thing? I'm going Sunday, so I assume crowds won't be that bad as everyone else is heading home by that time since the holidays are pretty much over.

I just hope it's even open, and after reading over this thread it seems to be hit and [mostly] miss.

 

[tiredoldspook]

Yes get to the gates around 815-830 and do a bee line for the coaster. Lines shouldn't be to bad, as you said the crowds should start heading back home.

Here's a picture of HRRR last night.

 

[Rock'nRoller]

Good shot, looks very nice. :thumbs:

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

Very nice shot. And are thoes two trains I see? That is more in that spot at the same time then the last time I went. Also why are the stage lights on?

 

[tj229er]

That is 4 exposures merged together in order to get a continuous light streak, hence why it looks like more than one train. Also the stage lights were on because they were doing the lighting programing for tonight's New Year's Eve show.

 

[Jmaff]

That is a sick picture! The colors are so crazy, and it probably looked so much better actually being there.

 

[DisneyFanKevin]

Great night snapshot of Rockit! I am seriously still thinking of trying this ride out.

 

[Rock'nRoller]

I wish this ride was open during HHN, I would have rode it then.

Do it. A year ago I wouldn't go on any type of roller coaster. Now, I will go on any roller coaster in Florida. The only scary part of the ride is the lift hill, and the rest is smooth sailing. If you do convince yourself though, do it at night.

The ride is great as long as you don't get the Bumpy car.
