Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

[beyond costers]

i doubt rockit will ever get express pass but who knows it might but for right now i dont wanna get my hopes up and be even more disappointed in the future

No i believe the no masks rule is to not confuse regular visitors with scareactors as most people still scare others during HHN even without a paycheck.

 

[Andy]

They'll simply turn you away and not let you in. Don't want any jackasses coming in trying to scare people and cause trouble.

Same answer just different ways of going about it. I prefer the jackass one.

The Rockit was having major problems yesterday. I went on three times yesterday and all three times I was in line the ride went down for technical difficulties. They lasted for about 15 minutes. The ride should never run with 6 cars. Most of the time all the cars cause a backup in the station resulting in the ride stopping. The TMs could not keep up with the trains sometimes and were having guests run to make it on the train that was already halfway through the loading station. I also noticed that the ride was still running when I saw it at 11:00. For a park that closed at 8:00 even a long line could not have carried the ride to 11:00. Are they letting people from CityWalk on or could there have been a private event?

Most likely a private event, even closing with a 90 minute wait the last few days they have cleared the attraction before 9:45pm. No Citywalk access to the Rockit yet.

Don't know if everyone saw this but just in case,

Rockit hasn't been using Fastpass since it opened. No big surprise there.

It closed at 9 but the company has 2 or 3 events a week so I wouldn't be at all surprised if that is what it was for. They've also gotten really good about closing RockIt an hour or more earlier than the park especially on peak nights so the ride isn't running until an hour or more after the park closes.

That's interesting. :rep: I usually can't remember either what all the songs I like there are on there or what genre there is, so most of the time I'm stuck with picking Stronger.

 

[Clive]

As of now I find Stronger to be the best choice for the ride, especially since it doesn't end as abruptly as some of the others. Bring Me to Life, Paralyzer, and Le Disko are other favorites... Harder Better Faster Stronger gets my vote for worst song currently on the ride, coming from a huge Daft Punk fan - for some reason they didn't edit it at all, so you spend the majority of the ride at the slow parts. Glamorous ranking so high also surprises me - it doesn't strike me as thrill ride song at all, but what have you I guess.

 

[Latveria]

Freebird is an amazing song on Rockit from lift hill to final break run it doesn't let up. Wake up dead by megadeth is also a solid choice.

If we are talking advertised songs only, Le Disko, kickstart my heart, and intergalactic are preferred choices for me.

Definitely agree. No surprise at all considering that Fastpass is used in Disney parks.


Now the fact that the Rockit is still not using Express is also not surprising. Have a good day.

I can't pick Stronger, just not a Kanye fan

My favorites are Keep Hope Alive by The Crystal Method and Rainbow Connection by Kermit the Frog. Think I'm going to have to try Sabotage next time I go though.

 

[Mr MudFish]

^ Sabotage is a good choice.
I like to do Float On-Modest Mouse or Movin Right Along-Muppets.

 

[Vyrus]

I prefer Metallica or Blue Man Group for me

 

[YETI PINTRADER]

My favorites: Devil went Down to Georgia, Le Disco, Painkiller (710), Drumbone (132), Pump It.

 

[Andy]

Intergalactic has been working for me recently.

 

[reilysclone]

I may be in a minority, but I quite enjoy listening to Midnight Rider.

 

[myles]

For me, 'rollin' is my personal favourite ATM.

 

[Obi Ubamba]

Freebird tops all.
