Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit (closing EOD August 17, 2025)

We could just get silly and wish for KidZone to becomes "New Orleans" and they add a "Smokey and the Bandit" themed RMC Mobius Loop Racer that runs from Curious George to MiB and back.

I’d kill to walk into any area of Universal and have “East Bound and Down” blaring.

Which would be a marvelous idea....and would come in handy during the very profitable two months, or so, of Mardi Gras.

Christmas: Suess Landing
Halloween: Epic Universe MonsterLand
Mardi Gras: New Orleans (former KidZone)

Went around the park to do everything today, and I gotta say, this was more uncomfortable than usual. It was the only ride all day where my stomach felt really uneasy.

I would love a retrack or even a new coaster in that space. With Hagrid's and Velocicoaster now built, plus the Hulk retrack, I think the time has come for them to up the quality of RRR.

Whatever does happen to that space, I would love to keep the skyline. Studios doesn't really have anything else like it besides the unintentional Dragontail from Diagon.

I’ve actually always hated what Rockit did to the skyline. It just doesn’t fit with anything else in the park. There were so many other ways they could’ve integrated a coaster into the skyline that would’ve been less intrusive.
I was willing to forgive the view for an awesome ride, but most rides on Rockit have been less than good.
Tear it down and try again.

Strong disagree, the grunge look is totally rad and fits Universal Studio Florida perfectly.

Clearly you’ve forgotten how much better Studios looked before Rockit.

I could’ve been more forgiving if it was a good ride, but sadly I’ve only had maybe 2-3 good rides on that thing opening year...and every ride since has been either ‘meh’ or rough.

I only have been on it once and I must have been lucky as the ride was okay. Way too many trim brakes. It's like "WHEEEE!""".."OH!!". From the way it looks, it is kind of an odd ball. Hard to theme a coaster hill that high.

It was in italics :tease:

Ok with all those Intamin announcements and concepts...why is Rockit still standing?!

p.s. I know we're in a pandemic thank you

I think the better question is, “how is Rockit still standing?”

 

[Scott W.]

Because it's popular. It's crazy.

 

[Jushin Thunder Liger]

Because it's popular. It's crazy.

It’s not that - it’s just a very shaky ride. It doesn’t feel safe.

 

[Nick]

It also has a really high hourly capacity. Other than that, time to go.

 

[Scott W.]

It’s Obviously safe. Maybe too safe by how constricting the seats feel but it is a shaky beast.

There’s far better that could be done with the space but I don’t see Universal building a new coaster any time soon and like @Nick said, it’s a people eater.

it sucks but it is what it is.

 

[Cwoolboy]

Guess I'm the only one who enjoys Rockit. I normally aim for the front row, which I find tends to be less shaky. Also, you can't beat the views of the park at night

 

[Freak]

So I gotta ask: can you still type the number in on the dashboard to play the music?

I think it gets more love than it should because of the vertical lift, drop, and non-inverted loop

The rest of it is pretty terrible

Yes!
