Went there over the weekend and got to ROCKIT a good 5 times over 2 days. Got the rough train once, I came off with a splitting headache. I was NOT happy. I'll say it again, UNI needs to do SOMETHING ABOUT THAT DAMNED TRAIN!!!!

Its annoying, they clearly know what's going on, id rather them take more care of the current attractions before even thinking of adding another.

It's bad. When I got off of riding train 5, I was ready to go to guest services cause it was so miserable.

My ride on it was rough, but not that rough. Compared to other coasters, and even one of which at Universal, there are far worst rides than Rockit's 5th train.

Sunday around 1 they were running 5 trains and there was a 6 minute wait. We rode 4 times in a row back to back. :)

Sunday was such an epic day at the parks. There wasn't a wait time for anything at Universal and we circled around and rode whatever we wanted to ride. Citywalk seemed nearly abandoned.

I had never seen rockit with such a low wait time.

Thats shocking but the only thing I can think of is the spring break crowds have gone away.. the parks were busy Saturday.

It was probably since it was Easter, so all the crowds had either ended their vacation, or stayed home with family.

I dislike the layout as well. It feels way too cramped. And I despise the section where it goes through the facade as well :mad:

I love that section I really like the whole soaring over the park aspect but I think the theme of the ride isn't suited for where it is or what it is.

I like the crowd surfing as well, but I hate the part where it destroys the New York theme.

I like it being cramped around the sound stages and where it goes through the firehouse building. I think i'm the only person who loves and adores this ride :lol:

The layout feels cool; just as though you're flying over the studios. The maneuvers have always interested me and the many pops of air you get is always fun.

What I do not and have never liked is the bright red color (a purple like on Hollywood Dream might work) as well as the theme-ruining moments in New York and Production Central.

As I said in my earlier review, even though it is a flippin amazing coaster it's still a Big Red Eyesore. yes, it is EXTREMELY photogenic and i love finding new angles to snap shots of the thing but it still destroys alot of theming. I wish they could have found some way to place it in the back of the park instead (maybe in the World Expo section, I think it would fit much better there).
