Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Review

Looking like an endless strand of spaghetti, this half-mile-plus coaster loops, twists, dives, and winds above and through Production Central. After a fairly long wait (this is one of the few rides that doesn't accept Universal Express), you'll select your personal soundtrack (choose from heavy-metal, techno, country, rap, and pop) to accompany the video (starring you) that's shot as you scream your way along. Next, your stadium-seating-style will haul you nearly 17 stories straight up! Then you'll drop nearly 17 stories before being lifted again into a towering loop and released into what seems like a never-ending series of twists, curves, sideways slings, and snap rolls at speeds up to 65 mph. By the time you return to the station, you might be woozy and a little spent, but you might spend a little more: the video with the soundtrack you selected is available for purchase. Ride isn't suitable for expectant mothers; anyone with neck, back, or heart problems; or people with a fear of heights. For people with disabilities: This does included closed-captioning, and guests using wheelchairs must transfer to a ride vehicle. Come early or late or choose the single rider line-and be sure to stow loose items in the available lockers.
