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

[Pseybert]

You're wrong Kevin. This guy is Canada's foremost Protractor Expert. He'd know. It's 105º.

I got the train that rides on the outside too!! Anyone else have one of the different ones?

I talked to the manager at Lou's Pizza, and he said he hasn't seen many go on the outside.

I believe if you hold down the HRRR logo for 10.5 seconds exactly, the car will ride on the inside of the loop

OMGZ! I must have gotten lucky! I was trying to make the first drop turn into a waterfall because I like Splash Mountain. I think that happens if you hold the button for 7.28 seconds.

 

[william bernstein]

Couldn't disagree more. Sorry dude. Every second of this ride flows so well that it's CLEAR it was well thought out beforehand, unlike Arrow's "Uhhh, put in a loop... and yeah... um... how about another loop and then two cork screws" mentality for every ride.

Well you and I obviously differ on coaster preferences so I wouldn't read into it too much. I've rethought my viewpoint of the ride, and I think I was a little too harsh. I just think that the glowing reviews I read (yours included) hyped it up too much for me. (This is no one's fault but my own).

And Pseybert, I agree with you about the first half being better. This thing had Incredible Hulk Syndrome. It lost the momentum very fast.

Definitely disagree - I think it's fun right to the last great pop of air on the final breakrun.

For what it's worth - just like that weather forecast I got for Saturday - I hear that the weather might not be good tomorrow over Universal Studios, if anyone is planning on going.

Why must this open just before school started. I'm hoping to go soon.

 

[usfgeek]

Yeah, I've been hearing It's 10 seconds on the logo for a hidden song.

I also read somewhere that there's the BTTF theme on there, which for me seems more appealing than any of the default songs.. who's betting it's 088 =P

I've heard mixed reports on whether or not this track exists. Treat it strictly as a rumor for the moment. There are other movie themes, though.

There is the BttF song, but the code to enter it is unknown.

....and it's 10 seconds. :thumbs:

And like I said - coming from the people on the inside who know the ride, there are conflicting reports. Some say definitely yes, some say definitely no. I was under the impression that it existed. Until someone actually hears it, it's best to treat it as a rumor with the inconsistent information on this one.

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

Which lucky volunteer would like to listen to all 999 songs and tell them to us?

 

[william bernstein]

There are not 999 songs. Not even close.

 

[Jakemeister]

Chris do you know if the weather is supposed to be bad Friday? I asked the Manager at Loui's and she said she doesn't know how it's supposed to be.

Haven't heard about the weather. I'd imagine partly cloudy.

Also received definitive confirmation that there is no BTTF track.

 

[usfgeek]

Well that sucks.. maybe It was the 'Power of love' by Huey Lewis he was referring to perhaps.

I could live with that too.

 

[william bernstein]

Also received definitive confirmation that there is no BTTF track.

Because that would have made too much sense. :doh:

 

[Chris]

Because that would have made too much sense. :doh:

Soooooo negative!

 

[william bernstein]

Well come on. They've got nearly 100 tracks, and they couldn't spare one for Universal's greatest film trilogy, which would have also paid tribute to one of the park's greatest attractions? And yet we need two tracks from the Muppets. Give me a break.

 

[Brian G.]

One of my good buddies said that he heard the BttF theme when he rode Saturday. :shrug:

Definitely not. It's not programmed into the ride.
