I'll be willing to bet that was sarcasm. :look:

Sue me, but I don't really think it looks too bad though. I do think they should try to cover up the sight of it in Seuss, but other than that, it definitely doesn't make me turn to stone lol. IDK, maybe it's just me in love with this ride.

What they should do is at least cover up the lift hill's tower facing IOA with the same material the put on it facing the studios, except theme the material to IOA's islands.

 

[DrAwsome]

while they are at it they inclose all of seuss land because the sky doesn't seem very whimsical like the rest of the land. as a matter of fact the water doesn't seem to be the right color blue either

 

[The_Bled]

The stance of the current lift hill is adequate. No further changes are needed(In my opinion).

That's an eyesore?

My god, it makes it look like we're in a..... THEME PARK!!!!!!

You can see Hulk from suess as well, never seen any complaints about that before?

Hmm i think the whole point is rockit is pretty much towering over suess.

 

[Latveria]

Stop hatin' on teh Rockit !

 

[Kraken&Manta]

I'm not sure if it would even be possible to add any type of banner to the other side, the maintenance elevator is there.

I say kill Seuss whose in the way of Rockit LOL

jk

The Rockit Demands suess be themed to fit it's rock and roll style

 

[gannonsmovieworld]

I'm going to have to stop this whole "Rockit needs to be themed to suess" nonsense. Lets move on to something better about Rockit. Any takers on creating a new topic about HRRR?

 

[Latveria]

Not really sure what we could discuss.

HRRR : Express Status Watch Thread

LoL.

Hahaha! I like that but the Express on HRRR will never open at the rate they are taking on trying to get this ride at full capacity.

From Stewie Griffin at IOACentral:

So, I was at Universal yesterday attending a screening of Robin Hood and I noticed something. I couldn't confirm it or not as I was running late to the screening and had to go into the theater, but I think Rockit was open through the City Walk entrance. I caught the tail end of a message while walking into Citywalk, but I wasn't sure. When I left the theater at about 10:30pm, Rockit was running with Passengers. However when I walked towards the Blue Man theater I did not see any way to get near the ride.

Anyone have an info on this?

^ There's another "special" entrance to Universal Studios there. You can see it right before you get on the stairs on Rockit.

 

[Hatetofly]

^HRRR has gates that close it off from the studios side by the new stage/amphitheater. I think it was designed for after hours use. They could use it as a lure for their resort guests to come back to citywalk after the parks close this summer as well as charge a fee for riders. Thats one way to compete with downtown Disney, what do they not have that we do....Hmmm how about a 167 ft tall rollercoaster. Could be an easy way to make a buck.

 

[Matpez]

I think we all know what the special entrance is... the question is, does anyone know if they were/are using it.
