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

[Chris]

Jason!?! Is that a hint at a Friday the 13th HHNs overlay coming????

It was talked about, but I don't know if it's going to make the cut for this year. You should check with The Manager At Louis Pizza.

Well I talked to the manager of Louis Pizza's new branch in Chicago and he said that they would be turning Rip Ride Rocket into the worlds first Friday the 13th haunted attraction. They will put a tent over the whole thing and fill the entire ride with fog.

Mmmmm I love the smell of Universal's fog. I hope breathing it in doesn't carry ill fated consequences later in life

I thought that was just for the pre-grand opening fumigation

Rode Rockit tonight! Awesome! We got on around 8:30 tonight. Knocked my socks off. This pic is from about 6pm tonight when they said you 'might' get on. We came back later and waited much less than these people did.

Great ride. WAY better than I expected!

I have a neat pic of the crowd waiting around 6pm, but I don't know how to post it - sorry!! Tell me and I will!

Wrong. It was the back-up tornado prevention plan. After not being deterred by the banner, it's hoped that fumigating killed them off.

Upload it onto a site like Flickr, then once you get the image URL, push the yellow button on the thread tools that has like two mountain peaks and a sun - paste the URL into what pops up and that will make the picture happen for you.

It's Rosco fog fluid. It's not hazardous. I too enjoy the smell. :

I like that it's the first one two years after the last Friday the 13th maze.

If there's a Louis Pizza in Chicago, does that mean that it's the best one since everyone in Chicago is completely full of themselves when it comes to their pizzarias?

Oh c'mon who doesn't like a good pizza pissing match. Last time i heard, the New Yorkers thought their pizza was better because of... and I quote... "The quality of the water used to create the dough".

I did not know New York was known for their water quality.

Well I got to see the coaster run from the Pointe Orlando parking garage while at work, so to all of you.

Ok so you fixed it. You win this round. There will be others! :boxing:

The coaster sounds great. I am going to try and get up there once it officially opens so I don't risk it being closed.
Here is a video of Rockit' opening. Not a great video but go to 1:04.

I got the impression from the video they had been waiting in line for a couple of hours? We are off out there on the 30th August for 2 weeks but have family out there on vacation right now - sending them regular updates to see if they can catch the soft opening.

I am looking forward at the possibility of riding this - would be an added bonus if it was open!

 

[tiredoldspook]

Well by the time I go in Oct the crowds will be down, the kids will be in school and everything should be running smooth. Glad to see it is finally up and running also looks like this will be the run to ride for a while.

Also Snowman I agree I hate to see people slam people on line, joking and having fun is one thing but slamming people is ridiculous this has sine i have been here been a vary nice peaceful group and I hope it stay that way.

Also waiting to see Briman and his adopted child on ride photo on HRRR....lol

 

[JTWDisneyLovers]

I can't wait to ride it,I've got co-workers that are now so psyched for this ride because of me.

 

[Brian G.]

Waiting in line for HRRR now. It's a 2 hour wait right now. Check our Twitter @officialou fr live updates.

That sucks. Having fun in the line, are we?

 

[ajent]

Is it open randomly, or if I went tomorrow morning will it be open & ready to ride?

 

[snoman]

Good question. I am off work tomorrow and would love to drive down and ride it but not so much wanting to drive down for nothing, kinda burnt out on universal for now.
