Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit?

Pete C · Jul 7, 2009

It's ok...some strange choices in there. However, I assume this will be updated regularly to keep it fresh.

I was at the studios yesterday... never saw a train go.. I was there all day.. There were new cranes up AGAIN on the lift hill, and several cherry-pickers..

here we go again..

Official now, with previews of how to pick the songs on the coaster.

:wave:

So at first I was a little disappointed, but listening to previews on some of the songs I've been able to identify several different songs different members of my Party will all enjoy, so it looks like they did a good job appealing to all demographics.

My word

flying round there with "harder better faster stronger" belting out will be awesome

I know! That's my first choice always-Been an avid Daft Punk since the days as a youth spent watching those first three music videos over and over again on Toonami. Great stuff.
:sohappy:

Plus they included "Stronger", so I'm already itching to have a go at this at day time with Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger then ride it again at NIGHT with Stronger playing. Should be awesome.

I'm not worried, they still have to install the rings as well as the graphic package on the front of the tower, both of which will require cranes I imagine.

Anyways, I was thinking about what band I would want on there.

Edited their best and shortest song for the job and edited them together to fit, and came up with this...

<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/ov_au5RdeAM&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/ov_au5RdeAM&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>

I like it.

I saw Pendulum at Glasto this year, very dissapointing. And they seemed to alienate half the auidence when they launched into the intro of Master of Puppets. Then alienate the other half when they began a Calvin Harris cover :lol:.

Now what we need on this ride is some Queens of the Stone Age :drevil:.

This, and there's quite a bit of painting to do to. Lots of random white spots everywhere.

Splatter marks from vomit during testing no doubt. I have read that you get turned inside out if you ride it more than three times in a day.

While more of the queue signs are going up, a reader reports seeing that the Rockit’s height limit comes in at a weird... 51 inches. Off the top of my head, I think most other ride height limits are even numbers with Hulk and Dueling Dragons listed at 54”, Dr Doom at 52” and Revenge of the Mummy at 48”. I was kind of expecting another 48” limit for the Rockit myself... given the non-inverting family nature of the ride. To be fair, the only other X-Coaster operating in the US right now at Magic Springs has a 52” height limit, but it also features a ginormous Skyloop inversion hang at the top of the lift followed by a barrel-roll inversion too.

it has a 51' height limit, interesting.

Wow that songlist is awful. What a bummer...

As long as they can change the songs every now and then, I can live with some of those options...

Exactly, I really can't see Black Eyed Peas being on the playlist 10 years from now, so it will surely get changed.

Mr Bill · Jul 10, 2009

You wouldn't think so, but it's 2009 and Limp Bizkit's on the list.

They were on the bill at Download this year, so that means little.

Although not my favorite song, they are my favorite band and I'm glad to see them on the roster.

They have just reformed however.

Saw it testing today from CityWalk at about 6:30. It was my first time seeing the CityWalk portion during testing in daylight... oh man, soooooooo smooth.

They're the butt of many jokes now, but Significant Other is one of the most popular albums of the 90's. Personally, The Unquestionable Truth is my favorite of theirs.

The rap-metal hybrid is a whole lot better than the crap that rock music has become today. Even Linkin Park's latest album was horrible.

The rings are now on the lift hill. Pictures are available at Orlando Rocks.
