Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit (closing EOD August 17, 2025)

I hope it opens soon with much better trains or...really anything else would be nice like GOOD songs

I heard from an employee last night that the Rockit' would be down for three months. She said that the latches were built wrong and were breaking under the pressure of the coaster and they now have to go and replace all of them.

Latches?

I think they mean the coupling in between the trains that prompted the recall from MS.

I wouldnt entirely trust an employee. Alot of the time they have the wrong facts, but I wouldnt be suprised if this was true.

Rockit was testing earlier today, went round 2 times. Still no word of an opening from universal yet though.

 

[Vyrus]

Any pictures or video of the testing going on? Can you tell any difference with the trains?

When I went to Universal Sunday, a few TM's commented on my Rockit shirt saying they loved the ride, and missed their jobs greatly. One poor guy got re-cast to making sure kids dont run in the kidzone area. Hopefully the ride will be back and running soon, I miss it already!

That would not be fun!

Talk about a waste.......:bored:

So...guess what's apparently up-and-running today?

 

[Jakemeister]

We are excited to let you know Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit has re-opened after being closed for maintenance. Enjoy the ride!

From tomorrow's Twitter:

We regret to inform all of you that yesterday, October 27, one of Rockit's train flew off the track and into a large heaping fire. Enjoy our other rides!

On a more serious note, this is great news. No more conspiracy theories.

So does this mean it'll be open at HHN this weekend?

 

[Jakemeister]

My friend Emmy (https://twitter.com/#!/LadyVulpix) Tweeted this...well tweets.

I'm going to give Rockit another chance since they have new vehicles.

Correction: Modified vehicles.

Slight difference on the shaking. I was in the back row and it didn't hurt my head.

 

[Vyrus]

WOW, I called it yesterday when I called the ride a waste, they must've heard me

I'm uber-happy to know the ride is back open and that the modified wheels are making a difference :thumbs:

 

[Helena123]

Glad to hear it's back up and running, and is improved. :thumbs:
I was picturing it still being closed when we visit in February

 

[Roll N Fear]

I'll have to give this ride a second chance when I go in 2 weeks. Hopefully I won't be waiting 4 hours in line this time.

 

[Vyrus]

How many trains is up to so far today?

 

[jarmor]

I really hope its runnin for HHN tomorrow night!
