Universal Studios' Rip Ride Rockit closer to launch

Universal's Hollywood Rip RocketHere are the latest developments on the Rip Ride Rockit coaster at Universal Studios.

It's been quiet on the Rockit front lately, but at last we have more rumblings to share about the new roller coaster coming to Universal Studios. Here are developments on the horizon, according to sources close to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.

+ Universal employees are likely to be onboard for testing next week.

+ They have just positioned the light rings that go up the dramatic lift hill, which will add to the light show element of the attraction. These rings were spotted weeks ago on the ground backstage.

+ Expect only two trains to be running at first. (Each train holds 12 passengers). Remember that it has been touted that as many as five trains can run at the same time.

OK, who's heard more? Give me some facts, y'all.

What does all that mean to you and me, the non-Universal employees? I'd say it depends on how testing goes. Universal has not announced an official opening date for the coaster, which is currently being pushed on billboards and radio ads for its ability to let guests control the soundtrack and its 65 mph speed. Passengers will also be able to purchase an individualized video of their experience on the ride.
