Universal Studios' Rip Ride Rockit closer to launch
Here 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.
