Yes, I think it was suppose to be longer but I don't know if I remember correctly.Did this attraction suffer any noticeable budget cuts before opening?

Well I know at the very least the concept art included a better covering for the tower, but nothing major.Yes, I think it was suppose to be longer but I don't know if I remember correctly.
It’s a must to select Lose Yourself riding this.
This ride exists because budgets were slim.Did this attraction suffer any noticeable budget cuts before opening?
I'm the sure in the marketing during the announcement stated it would come out and go through city walk.Yes, I think it was suppose to be longer but I don't know if I remember correctly.
Woah, totally forgot about Screamscape...A soundtrack change would be welcomed...It is certainly an opportunity for synergy with songs like "Happy" from the Despicable Me movie...Hopefully the whole thing gets a redo at some pointApparently Universal could finally be updating the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit soundtrack options in 2019, as according to Screamscape, they are currently doing a survey on riders about music options and what they thought of the experience. Here's the Screamscape link:

Good thing if they are, some of the current soundtrack options are a tad dated in 2017.
I imagine they will always keep it a bit generic...The ridership seems high enough to where they probably wont tear it down..Although, I would much rather have a B&M Hyper that is tucked away and better themedI reckon something they could actually do is retheme HRRR to some of Universal's iconic film music so that you could listen to Happy by Pharell Williams or the Back to the Future music, for example. They could really capitalise on the nostalgia. Or they could retheme it to a single IP. If they wanted to do an Illuminations IP, as the rest of the surrounding area seems to be heading that way, I reckon Sing could be a good fit. I mean as it's a music theme, although I do think HRRR is a tad too big to be Sing-themed. I suppose it's no more stupid than retheming California Screamin' to the Incredibles, though. Alternatively, they could just expand on HRRR's existing theme of making a music video. They could theme the queue with cameras, lighting rigs and production stuff, sort of like Rock'n'Roller Coaster at Disneyland Paris. I think that's probably the most likely option if they did want to overhaul it.
You sayin' the riders is high? Well that the only way I'm doing this again........I imagine they will always keep it a bit generic...The ridership seems high enough to where they probably wont tear it down..Although, I would much rather have a B&M Hyper that is tucked away and better themed
Yes, the only way to enjoy HRRR is to be high...You sayin' the riders is high? Well that the only way I am doing this again........
If they are updating the soundtrack, hopefully they'll also update that annoying queue video that plays over...and over...and over....and over.
*shivers* I would have much rather had nothing in the queue than thatHASTA!!
Wouldn't we all @shiekra38! Although HRRR is a good ride, it is nothing more than high top 20 for me who has only ridden 39 coasters. While that is still very high, when the only B&M Hyper I've ridden currently sits as my number 1 coaster, then I definitely know which I would rather.Although, I would much rather have a B&M Hyper that is tucked away and better themed
RRRs biggest plus is that it fits that narrow space. There's really no other attraction that could replace it in a park where space is at a premium.
It's more the narrow shape of the plot than the overall footage though, when it comes to RRR.*Thinks of SLoP in Hollywood originally being in an area that would've been .97 acres*
Just because it doesn't look like it, it doesn't mean they couldn't have the ability to do that.
