Boy I hope this coaster is good when I go next year. I always imagined it would look slick and epic...but it looks meh. It is cool however that Universal has a coaster finally.

There was a puff of wind.

There was a puff of wind.

Hmmm... I heard it was because someone sneezed while standing too close to the track. I mean, these things happen on rides like this, right?

 

[tiredoldspook]

was the wind blowing ? Was it cold? Were was Tiger Woods?

The story from ride ops is that as of now Rockit will be closed any time the weather drops below 60 degrees Fahrenheit. It used to be 70 degrees, but they tuned it enough to allow 60. Changed bearing oil probably.

As of 15 minutes ago it was 58 at the park, my mother told me so. Isn't it messed up that she's there but I'm not?
