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

Tell me it will go faster up that lift? If not, lines will be looooong always. Sheesh.
Great video and pics, dyates, Poster X and BriMan

I'm pretty sure as most of you are that is the slowest the lift can go. I think we can safely assume that they were just making sure it could make it through the loop at maximum resistance and slowest speed. I mean honestly, what coaster takes 3 minutes to go up it's lift?

I remember reading some official statement from Universal that said the train will ascend the lift in 11.5 seconds, which is actually pretty darn quick. This is just testing at different extremes, if you ask me.

 

[some random guy]

that vertical lift must be a delicate process since its moving the train so slow it makes sense why they are doing this instead of running full blast and then we will have a longer delay but great pics and videos can't wat to see it progress faster up the lift

This looks like a really good ride, nice pics and videos, but they should have gave it a movie theme.

all the videos look great and it looks really smooth and fast even with the lift moving slow like that. i have noticed that they are testing the brake but it zooms right past that one go in the firehouse with full force:thumbs: that trible clef looks intense. the lapbar looks different than the x-cars i seen before does anybody know if that is where the video camera will be?

yeah what he said if i can do you can do it join ORLANDO UNITED!

i wanted to show something i noticed today i was looking at this pic from theme park review and notice some things (correct me if my theory is wrong)

this the pic i was looking at thanks to the power of photobucket i added dots to show what my theory is. the pink dot would be the video camera,the green dots is where you put your song in with your ticket-thingie that you get before boarding similar to the harness system on hollywood dream at universal studios japan.


i also learned on theme park review that the boarding will be like way you the haunted mansion at disney and a train will leave the station every 23 seconds! (excuse the dots just making a point)

Here is an article with a little more info on the ride, including the post show editing:

And some random guy, I do agree that the green dots is where you will select your songs, but there will be more than one camara per train.

 

[some random guy]

now i notice the six cameras but man special effect cameras that you can use to create your videos! i smell a burn in my pocket.i still dont see how this track is suppose to be illuminated at night. quick question even though you can make your own music video will be onride photos too?

 

[CusiCuzi]

All I'm wondering now is when soft openings will start. If the opening IS July 3rd, it has to start soft openings around the middle of June....

AHHH THE TRACK IS ILLUMINATED AHHHH LOL

Rip Ride Rockit’s most distinctive element is it’s interactivity. Alfieri was able to share details on the coaster’s high tech video capabilities. For the first time, riders will be able to create their very own seven minute personal music videos of their rides. Thanks to six on-board cameras, eight high speed special effects (Matrix-style) cameras, and 54 special effects shots you will be able to produce your own unique ride video. The ride itself is enhanced with LED lights on the cars and an illuminated track that will create a different experience for day and night rides. Billed as the first roller coaster that transcends a theme park’s boundaries guests can buy a DVD of their ride at the park, text themselves a reminder to download it at home, make other videos via the ride’s web site and even download a low resolution version of their videos to play on their phones.

Thanks for the confirmation.

MUSIC SELECTION PLACE CONFIRMED:

I can’t imagine that Rip Ride Rockit’s line will ever be very short thanks to the ride’s high re-rideability. While on-board, two 55-watt Marine Polk Audio speakers will pump out one of 30 songs from 5 genres that guests will be able to select via a touch panel on the ride’s restraints. Each genre will include three songs from legacy artists and three songs from contemporary artists. Once the roller coaster’s web site is live you will be able to sample the songs before you arrive at the park. With so many songs to chose from, I can see guests riding Rockit over and over.

Dyates, not only did you make screamscape but also the link that everyone is posting a lot and the Orlando Setinal website under an interview with one of the designers. Link: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/fe...-rip-ride-rockit-designer-roller-coaster.html Great job!
