Project 830 - Hollywood Rip Ride Rock-It Replacement

[ParkRumors]

Didn’t we already have the footer locations in the permits? Would that tell us if the Orlando right has spike/stall?

The permits didn’t contain any footer locations, unfortunately. If they did, we’d have a fully rendered layout by now. The site plan submitted to the SFWMD contained only the changes in impervious surface area:

However, recent comments from onsite construction inspections have confirmed that this ride will indeed have a spike:

I had been thinking there was no way this could be as good as the hillside terrain coaster in Hollywood. But now I'm seeing the vision...

Can't wait till I'm pulling up in a boat from Sapphire Falls and get to see those cars turning around on that spike.

Also, if that's how it'll work, where the back car becomes the front car for half the ride, it's gonna be so much fun trying out different seats in the coaster cars. I need to get to a nighttime event where this thing is operating ASAP.

lots of activity in the area closest to city walk today

 

[Viator]

We have gone vertical!

I am really excited for this coaster. Wicked: Emerald City Drift will be a great addition to the park.

Sorry to double-post, but seems we might have some track appearing soon!

Clearly that’s Wicked

A big RIP to those who thought this would be the Ghostbusters: Ghoster Coaster. If that’s why it was going to be that would’ve been an awesome name.

But I’m okay with it being F&F. That mean 1) Supercharged’s days are numbered and 2) Ghostbusters can still be a high-end dark ride like it deserves to be.

So, 70MPH matching Velocicoaster and opening 2026. Impressive build time if so

Highly doubt this is 2026. Supports aren't up yet.

 

[Mad Dog]

Probably depends if there's a lot of theming, or not. If theming is sparse, it's doable for 2026 end of the year. If there's
lots of theming, I'd say early 2027 March/April.

What if the speedo is going to 88mph but it cut the video off before it reached it?

Could be reading too much into it, but we might be looking at a height of 130 feet. The speedometer ends at 130.
