Anyone ride with Kanye West's "Stronger" yet? I'm looking forward to it.

I might be inclined to pick Kayne if it was the Gay Fish song, but not anything he's actually released. :nono:

Daft Punk's original "Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger" is clearly the better choice. Pretty much same thing but with no Kanye. It's a win win.

That's my song of choice too... Since I won't be in Orlando until October someone try it out for me!

Ye's version has a faster pace. I'm excited to try both of them though. Both great songs.

So at some point down the road we need someone to compile a master list of all the bonus tracks that have been found by #. That would be very nice, time consuming, but nice.

Sooooo.....Is the Express Queue open for this ride yet??

 

[Tbad556]

The express line will not be open during Technical Rehearsals.

Sooooo.....Is the Express Queue open for this ride yet??

As Tbad pointed out, since the attraction is in Technical Rehearsals, Express access will not be granted. If you want to ride it while it is in Technical Rehearsal, you have to wait in the 2+ hour wait time.

Don't be surprised if the Single Rider queue gets axed. I've known people who have waited longer in that line then the regular queue.

 

[UniversalLover]

if y'all give me da #'s and songs i'll make a list

Just read that Universal is declaring Rockit officially open. That was unexpected.

It is absolutely NOT officially open, and won't be for a while.

Yeah, like 1:45 versus 1:10. Not cool.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Universals web site and Rockits website both list it as open.

Edit. Just recieved a facebook comment from Universal saying it is open as well. I totally understand it is still under soft openings.

Universal Orlando Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, Universal Orlando Resort’s highly anticipated roller coaster, is NOW OPEN. This radically innovative attraction includes first-ever maneuvers, cutting-edge technology, songs that span across five genres of music and a personalized take-home music video available for purchase.

 

[Tbad556]

Universal's billboards, guest services, website and latest Youtube video from UniversalPR all are declaring it Now Open and through with Technical Rehearsals.

OrlandoSentinal say its Officially open aswell: http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/features_...ially-open.html

UniversalPR's latest video declaring it open: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tVELd-z3Ys8

The attraction is in Technical Rehearsals - PERIOD. It is not "officially open" and WILL NOT be until it is running at full capacity, with the magic carpet station and everything intact.

I can't believe people on here are surprised that marketing is giving conflicting information when we JUST had a discussion here the other day about how Syd Vinyl came about as a result of Marketing not being in touch with what's really going on inside the theme park.

Rockit is soft opening. It is running at greatly reduced capacity and can close at any time.

 

[Hockeyman55]

Are they going to have some sort of grand opening ceremony or hupla or anything still lol???

So maybe you can compare it to like a best buy or something that sorta kinda is open before its offically grand opened and how they hang the banners out side saying now open but its more of a dress rehearsal opeining.

 

[Tbad556]

This is from someone at the parks right now which makes me believe it might still be in technicals:

I am in line now with a 120 wait. Just came over the pa they are having technical problems there is a ride op saying they will be down for thirty minutes.

 

[Chris]

Yes, there will be a media day prior to the grand opening. None of that is even remotely scheduled right now, because it will be in technical rehearsals for a while.

I think its still in technicals it just is wierd how Universal is saying Now Open everywhere you look.

When has a park ever posted "Open for Technical Rehearsals" on their website? It's either open or it's closed in terms of a website or a billboard, so in that sense, it's open, but only in that sense.

This is from someone at the parks right now which makes me strongly believe it's still in technicals:

Wondering why a 30 minute downtime is your clue that it's still in Technical Rehearsal and not the A-frame signs all over the place clearly stating it? :shrug:

Sweet!!! Im just happy it is at the point now were we are able to ride it, if and when its open for technical rehearsals!
