The Oval wooding gets taken on and off from time to time. It's called a reach envelope and makes sure people don't get there hands chopped of on especially tight spots.

I figure I'd update you guys from what a friend said. He said if your expecting this for GradBash or GradVenture you better be waiting for '10. Pretty much it won't be open for them.
This may just be a bad rumor going around and I know how fast some bad rumors can spread in Orlando, but this one is a little wild. The stories claim that the opening of the Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit may delayed until Mid Summer or even later due to some kind of design problem with the ride’s vertical lift hill. As crazy as it sounds, the gist is that the tower may have been installed incorrectly and may need to be moved and rebuilt. Of course a variant of this rumor has been flying around ever since the tower started to go up when construction on the ride stopped for a number of weeks suddenly while they worked to finish up the new concert stage. Now the lift-hill tower rumor is back again… and while I’d like to stay that I just can’t believe that it’s true, strange things do happen from time to time. After all… it wasn’t all that long ago that Cedar Point had to delay the opening of Maverick so a major inversion could be removed from the completed coaster, because the forces were deemed to be unsafe for riders. Anyone know more about what is going on with the Rockit?

The cranes have disappeared....
Now that you mention it.. I didn't see a crane at all yesterday.
Remember though... today IS April Fool's day.
I wonder if there is truth to this rumor considering no track has been added to the lift hill....at all. A friend of mine who works in Guest Relations also said they were having unexpected trouble with it but I figured it was just the long construction period. :shrug:
