Agree! When I rode Rockit the first time, I chose this song becuase I love Daft Punk. It was a horrible choice. The song doesn't even pick up until about a minute into it and by that time the ride is over.

Ditto with all the people complaining about Harder Better Faster Stronger. They need to start it right as the song speeds up (which presently occurs at like the second to last brake station!) If it started there, you'l get a majority of the fast portion of the song - AKA, much more fun to ride to. At the present, Kanye West's "Stronger" will have to do.

I don't understand why they edited Drumbone (mystery song 132) but not an actual choice. Not a big daft punk fan so I have yet to chose it. Devil Went Down to Georgia and Drumbone are my favorites for Rockit IMO.

You can definitely add me to the list of people who dislike the editing of Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger. I love Daft Punk but the editing of the track made for a boring ride.

In other news, Universal has released the top 5 played songs on the ride:

5. “Glamorous” by Fergie

4. “Bring Me to Live” by Evanescence

3. “Rollin’ ” by Limp Bizkit

2. “Pump It” by Black Eyed Peas

1. “Stronger” by Kanye West

They need to remove songs based on use and add new ones. Or just add more.

Regarding the annoying queue video, my sister and I agreed that they need to play full-length music videos so there's some actual entertainment going on in the main queue room. After each video, there needs to be one of those little 30 second snippets with one or two of the characters talking about what the ride is about - read, NOT the safety video. The safety video should not start until you reach the stairs - you're typically waiting long enough in that part of the queue that you'll see the video loop at least two or three times. That's ALL you need. There is no reason you should have to endure an annoying safety video for 45 straight minutes.

Yeah, it can definitely be annoying. BUT I can see the need for such repetition. There's a lot of information to relay to guests (safety procedures, music selection, the moving walkway), and different guests are going to pay attention at different times & points in the queue line. There's always going to be people who even simply ignore every warning until they actually get on the ride. So yeah, it may be grating, but I understand why it's necessary.

They each already have a song on the ride. I'd rather see more diversity personally. The more options the better!

I wish Universal would set up a request form similar to how you can request songs for the Rock Band Network. I'd love some of my favorite songs on the ride. It'd also be nice to have special music during music festivals like Rock the Universe and Mardi Gras. But the ride is totally customizable, we'll see.

That capacity is really exciting though. Did you notice how fast they were dispatching trains? Pretty much after the first train cleared the first MCBR? That'd be nice.

Technically, they could dispatch the next train once the one in front clears the lift hill. That would mean a 6 train max though. Still, that's probably the best choice. I've built this ride on No Limits and that's the way the simulator does it. I can't run more than 6 trains, even though the max is 7, because they crash sometimes, which is too often. :inquisitive:

I have never picked any of the top 5.
And some of the request on this page are already on the ride.
[HASHTAG]#713[/HASHTAG] – The Wicker Man by Iron Maiden
[HASHTAG]#715[/HASHTAG] – Wake Up Dead by Megadeth
[HASHTAG]#701[/HASHTAG] – Cyanide by Metallica
[HASHTAG]#703[/HASHTAG] – For Whom The Bell Tolls by Metallica
aerosmith has their own ride so they are covered and Nickelback is sadly not included.

Well the loading station can hold like 5 trains, I think. Does No Limits allow that?

Nope unless you make 5 seperate tations. But anyway you can't make the trains move continuously through the station like in real life. The best you can do is set the dispatch frequency to the minimum (5 seconds).

I really wish they would have done a double loading station like Manta and SheiKra. I'm sure the moving platform looked good on paper but in real life, not so much. They've been trying to run a lot of trains the last few times I've been there and have had brake run stack-ups every time.

Personally, I think they need more songs that they have the video for, some of the video songs are just plain blah, and definately a couple of years ago.

I can't remember the secret track list, but they should have AC/DC on there for sure, some old school Miami freestyle as well should be added, and you can't go wrong with Kiss as well.

The designers forgot to take into account how stupid guests can by not knowing how to step into a moving vehicle and pull down a lapbar. Hence the stoppage of the moving belt constantly and brake run cascades follow.
