Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

[Disneyhead]

On a side note.

Being that a major element of this ride is music, I would have thought Universal would have gone with Bose speakers in the queue.

Well, Bose is more musicy, but Peavey is definitely more ROCK-N-ROLLL!!!!!



DISCLAIMER: I really have no idea what brand of speakers they actually used. Peavey just seemed to complete the joke.

Better Off with Something Else?

Bose systems do sound great, but they are so overpriced for such little speakers with such a short life span . The wear and tear is awful. They'd be ruined in the first year most definitely.

I don't have any idea what speakers UO used in the ride though. I'm a big fan of JBL, Boston and B&W.

to anyone that has ridden the coaster:

ignoring the music and pretty lights, is the coaster itself good?

Quite good.

Come on now, lets give them some slack this is a new thing. I mean new coasters ahve issues, Top Thrill Dragster, Kingda Ka, that original flying coaster, not the B&M version I have heard no issues out of those ( I could be wrong but none I heard of) I mean I bet the people over at Sea World are really happy with Rockitt.

Top Thrill Dragster STILL doesn't work... I was there one weekend and it maybe worked for 4 hours in those 2 days.

Fantastic even without the music and lights. =)

How much did this ride cost to build?

 

[TheDecemberists]

I bet the lines for this coaster are just AWESOME lol

I'll be going to Orlando just as soon as that little tiny side project at islads of adventure gets done [:

Pig? Looks more like a hamster or guinea pig to me.

I've been to Cedar Point 4 times and Top Thrill Dragster was open every single time I went.

Kingda Ka was closed for quite a while this summer, though. I don't like that coaster anyways so no loss there ^_^ and it's not because Dragster came first. The only reason I even will wait in line for Dragster is the fact that it only uses a lap bar.

I finally made it onto HRRR today. The sign said it was a 90 minute wait, but it was more like an hour including time for technical difficulties. That was with three trains running.

Incredible coaster that I need to ride again ASAP.

I'm sure you'd already plan for this, but I'd certainly get to it early just in case it ends up down from technical difficulties... It definitely still has a lot of growing pains as it continues through its soft opening period.

 

[Mearn]

Agreed, it was actually down for technical difficulties when I got to the park today, after trips on Mummy, MIB and the front row of Hulk, it was up and running.

My sister and friends are going tomorrow
