Project 830 - Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-It Replacement

I was hoping for an announcement by now, then I remembered this is Universal who might have it 90% built and refer to it as a churro stand

Many of us believe the HRRR replacement is the 2027 addition for UOR. The final F&F movie is coming out in 2027 now. Maybe we will get our first announcement for the coaster (if F&F themed) is when the teaser for Fast 11 comes out.

But then again Hollywood Drift was announced in May/June 2024, which is much earlier than when Universal typically announces new attractions.

It's all building 50 to me, but yeah i guess so? why is there a superman reference in the park

They actually had a superhero show there in the early 90s. I’m calling it the Daily Planet, but it may have been the Daily Bugle only because I cannot remember which comic book universe featured.

But this show was well before Islands.

EDIT - Found it! It was a Marvel show and the building is the Daily Bugle.

Oh okay, I know it was used for access to sound stages for HHN, but that's just not going to be a thing anymore cos the station building will literally be where they used to queue

Yeah… it’ll be really interesting to see how this thing queues. Either facade (Daily Bugle or GB Firehouse) works, and the old Twister extended queue remains available (to a degree), which runs behind both facades. They also need to leave SS33 accessible for special events.

Is the second building on the soundstage parking lot a maintenance building or a show building?

I have done a full rundown here with a rendering, I think it will just take an entrance off the corner of the building, and what was once HHHN queue might be a small external queue

What on earth? So the station building is far enough behind the facades so the turn isn’t actually visible in the park?

That’s a… choice. It’s like they’re hiding the entrance. If that’s the case, I feel like they have to rework the Daily Bugle building as the ride entrance to actually attract people.

(Or… you know… use the pre-existing Ghostbusters firehouse and just reattach the old Ghostbusters sign that used to attract people to the show…)
