Since it keeps being mentioned, EVERYTHING is ALREADY IN PLACE for Rockit to open from outside the park near the BMG show entrance. It has been that way since it was built. Not that. :wave:
According to the press release (posted here), there was no mention of accessing the ride from CityWalk. I think it was indeed planned and people heard about it, but the plans just never came to fruition with all the problems and delays and closures Rockit had. The gate between the ride and the BMG theater is an obvious sign that it was planned, because otherwise there's no need for that entrance, in my opinion. I think the after-hours Rockit plans are probably shelved and they're focusing more on the new attractions and new entertainment within the park.
The company that built the Universal arch and globe have been contracted to do some "fence" work at USF

Well this might be the answer to this.
Teebin, you are right. There is a new fence going up behind Amity where the apartments are.
That gate has always been there since The Hard Rock's location at that CityWalk spot as to entice people to easily have a good meal there and come right back in the park. They just had to alter it a bit for Rockit.
If it would of been cost effective for Universal to open the ride to CityWalk, they would of done it.
Oh definitely, it's just that if a survey starts to float around it makes a rumor hard to die.I remember those, and I think those surveys answers convinced them it was still not cost productive, hence why we don't have it.
