Clearly you've never been on the Mean Streak at Cedar Point in Ohio.

This man. He has all the right answers.

I would like to hear some Danzig and Type O Negative durimg HHNs on the HRRR :thumbs:

 

[J03Y]

i haven't been able to ride it because it's always broken when i go :'(

Michael Jackson's Thriller during HHN....it can happen.

omg that's amazing

I only rode HRRR once though. I'm not a big guy (6ft2,220lbs) and I felt like I was going to fall out backwards on the lift hill. Maybe I'm just a fraidy cat but I haven't been on it since :thumbs:

One of the ride vehicles just got an audio overhaul, at least in the back half of the train. New computer, new speakers, possibly more. The difference in sound quality should be pretty obvious if you get that unit after a few rides.

Just went on Rockit yesterday. My girlfriend and I ride it very, very often and this time it was so rough we've decided to take a break.

Like, just absurdly rough.

Lift hill is the most thrilling part imo. Loved it.

Hasta!!!!!

Yeah I've pretty much done the same.

For it being a fairly new coaster, that's pretty odd. Would there be a particular reason for that?

 

[Splatter]

Poor Engineering and wheel structure?

 

[April]

I hadn't rode it in awhile because of the roughness. Gave it another chance on Saturday and it was still insanely rough. Definitely going to continue my break until they fix it...

Will there come a day when Universal throws in the towel and gets rid of it? It was a poor addition to begin with IMO just because there is really no theming to it.......and it just doesn't fit in with the surrounding area. Although I'm sure it cost a lot, once Transformers and the WW expansion opens, it becomes expendable. Would also open up some real estate for a future attraction.

Please, just tear the piece of crap down and we can all move on with our lives.

Possibly. It really doesn't jive with New Universal. It unfortunately was stupidly pushed through at just the wrong time.

going on this for the first time next weekend. Gotta say that the last time we rode Hulk (2 years ago) it was really rough. so we will see how this compares. Nothing fun about getting a headache or bruises while on a rollercoaster.

Save yourself the trouble and do a somersault. It's less pain and more fun than this coaster.

Ive been on this ride only about 5 times and have yet to have a rough ride. I guess its just luck of the draw on which car you get. I thought I read somewhere a while back the actual number of the train that had problems to help if someone was trying to avoid that bad train/s

The trick is to lean forward. If you sit back like on a normal coaster, you're going to have a bad time.

This thing often has the longest wait times out of every ride. Average guests love this thing, even if it an eyesore to us.
