Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit

[Spideyfreak]

^That's nothing terribly unusual. Every vehicle on every ride is taken apart every year for inspection.

Yeah I know just with all the speculation of all new speakers and on board computers going in, I thought I would share.

Hope you had fun! Seriously, it's not that bad. I loved it when I went last June.

 

[Hockeyman55]

I'm not kidding, this ride has grown on me over the years. Has been about 2 years since my last ride and I forgot how enjoyable it is. Some great drops and some awesome airtime and the car I had wasn't really rough by my standards. The lift hill did have me a little nervous though lol

So was it good at least?

^ Oh yeah absolutely :happy:

I'm glad its still open in this wind! I hope its open for HHN!

 

[Hockeyman55]

Just walked by it and it was closed. Wind has kicked up a little bit but not sure of that's why or not

New Notice of Commencement

USF Install Steel Cage in Rockit Pass Through Tunnel

 

[Brian G.]

Steel Cage? Why not a Hell in a Cell!?!

So what's with the steel cage?

Elimination Chamber FTW.

I have no clue

 

[maxairmike]

So the steel cage could be either the walkway underneath to the sound stages (Silent Hill entrance, Gothic/Dead End exit area), or (and I think more likely) work on the firehouse facade. Evidently they've been wanting to work on that a bit with some wood coming off in the structure. Also, expect Universal's Q-Bot implementation to make its way over from IOA to USF soon, specifically Rockit.

Good deal Mike thanks for sharing!

What is this Q-Bot thing?

 

[maxairmike]

They've been testing/using it over at IOA since this summer, it is a queue reservation system and is used in Six Flags and other amusement parks. Basically it looks like a little Tomogachi/Giga Pet and you can reserve ride times (think like a digital FastPass). I've never used it anywhere, so I don't know much more than that.

Yup...I've heard it will be implemented within the next couple weeks.
