Years ago there was a patent regarding an Apollo 13 roller coaster concept. Does anyone remember what the patents described and if there is an alternative, unbroken, link?

All I know about it is that it was meant to be where MIB is now.

I feel like every Universal property has had a rollercoaster concept created at some point. But the one we got... is Rip Ride Rockit.

With a vertical lift, it could just have easily been themed to Apollo 13.

I’m so glad MIB is there :)There were online rumors about a possible replacement of Kongfrontation or the expansion spot between BTTF and MIB

If I also remember correctly, the exterior was to be based on the Nass Vehicle Assembly Building. Obviously not to scale.
