The “never been done before” elements also extend to the track itself with several world’s-first moves. Back on the ground, you can even purchase a music video of your ride. For the first time ever, you pick the soundtrack while on-board cameras capture your pulse-pounding flight in, around, and over Universal Studios. Get ready to take your music for a ride on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, the world’s most technologically-advanced roller coaster. The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster is “one of the most radically innovative roller coasters ever created!” And, best of all, every scream-filled moment of your aerial adventure has been caught on video. Gasping with excitement, you rock out to the song YOU picked before strapping in. Suddenly, you’re doing 65 mph, 17 stories over the streets and buildings of Universal Studios®. I also agree that the music fits better.Adrenaline pumping and music thumping, you head straight toward the sky. It has done it's intended purpose far better. In closing rock n roller coaster is the better ride. I will say it looks nice towards the end when it wraps out toward city walk but the entire outher half of the ride is an eye sore. Finally its just not that great to look at. The select your own music bit is also clunky and often un used by the general public. Its also just too much of a normal coaster. People are terrible at getting on rock it as it requires tight dispatches to get anywhere near its potential capacity. See veloicoaster or mako for proper restraints. To your point these restraints are wierd and make little sense. One is an old vekoma showing its age with horrid trains and a no longer novel gimmick (the launch) the other is an awful design when it comes to loading and ubloading.
The airtime is amazing.īut to be fair both coasters are meh. Over the shoulder restraints are not only painful via head bashing but restrict your bodys movement. Feeling like your going to leave the car via G forces is part of the thrill. The industry is moving away from the painful restraints you feel secure in. It, too, is outdated because they never updated the official playlist from 2009, which even then had some laughably outdated songs like Limp Bizkit's "Rollin'" from 2000 (which is different from, say, ZZ Top, as Limp Bizkit was a late 90's/early 00's fad and not timeless). The queue for Rockit is atrocious and about as "Six Flags" as it gets. Its constantly chattering lift hill also ruins the atmosphere of the main plaza. I'm not one to complain about visible coaster track, but Rockit is hideous and ruins the aesthetics of the front of the park. It has an awkward layout with too many block zone stops. Any other row and it will jar you around without even going through rapid transitions. Rockit, well, it's an okay ride in the front row only, and night rides are pretty nice. The ride would benefit massively from new trains with modern restraints and a potential retheme (still music themed!) with enhanced visuals. The launch packs a much stronger punch than any launch at Universal, or the rest of Florida really, and launching into the unique-ish "sea serpent" roll is one of the best starts to any coaster. Also, when's the last time Aerosmith even did anything? The saving grace is that I think it still has one of the best coaster launches. I used to love Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, but it has aged rather poorly, both in the sense that the onboard theming is "late Eisner-era cheap" and that it has become clunky with age. Rock 'n' Rollercoaster, BUT, I don't think either ride is great.
