I'm not even upset because I wanted to ride it at HHN. I just wanted another line-eater. :'(

Guys they probably didnt want to run it all day on its first day back.

Down due to technical problems though?

I'm happy to see it back up and running (supposedly), but there are a number of possible reasons why it's not open during Halloween Horror Nights. Why hire extra hands to operate a roller coaster at night for three nights? And it's possible this was so last minute they couldn't hire anyone for it. It's silly to offer a job for just three nights. And the thing just opened. They might not want to stress the coaster too much it's first day back, like Obi said.

They don't need to hire extra hands. They can probably pull their staff back to run the attraction if necessary.

Rough rough rough rough....did I mention rough? I've lost faith in this attraction, how in the world when it is down for this long and you actually make it worse than it was before?

It probably won't open for HHN for the same reason it didn't last year, capacity issues. If they opened it with only 4 trains operating then I would assume they still haven't figured out a way to get max capacity or close to it yet.

They did actually get close to full capacity. I remember it being mentioned that for a while the ride running with five, even six trains. But, Their chances of getting a full capacity, which seemed so close, Have now been ruined by this event with the coupling bar and the rough trains.

Hence why it was originally on the map for HHN but then at the last minute taken off the event map.

 

[Splatter]

And even before it was taken off the event map for HHN last min, the express passes people were getting showed that it was not valid for Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.

 

[Andy]

^Are you referring to Halloween Horror Express?

 

[Mearn]

I rode Rockit twice today, it's still pretty rough, especially when you go next door and compare it to Hulk and Dragons.

One thing I noticed is that I couldn't get the hidden songs code screen to come up at all either time. I never had trouble bringing it up in the past so that surprised me. May have just been me.

 

[Andy]

I couldn't get the hidden play-list to pop up during my last visit before it closed. I figured I just had a bad seat.

 

[Ultimate17]

I rode today. Ride felt about the same as far as being bumpy/rough. Overall it felt slower though. They seemed to really slow the train down at each brake run more than I had remembered. BUT, I couldn't access the hidden tracks either. Guess they put a stop to it??

 

[Tbad556]

I honestly wouldn't be surprised if that was one of the things going on during the "maintenance". It was always assumed that eventually they may be taken off but it's a shame as some of my favorite tracks were hidden ones.

Hopefully, it is just a post-maintenance car glitch but it's looking bad.

 

[FloRida848]

I didnt know where to ask this question, but do you guys know whats wrong with the website screamscape ??? Its not working for me...

 

[Tbad556]

Just an update: Several of our Twitter followers stated that the hidden tracks worked for them after the downtime. It seems like you two must of just had a minor glitch. :shrug:

FloRida, it's working for me. :shrug:
