Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit'

[AswaySuller]

Hi all, I'll be heading to Orlando next week and haven't yet ridden this ride.

I just wondered if anyone knew if this ride was currently open and operating or not.

Last I heard was that it was closed indefinitely!

Thanks.

It's open.

Awesome.... I know it hasn't got the best reviews in the world but I'm excited to be having a new experience..... and I shall be selecting the Rock music selection

It had broken down on my BF and my vacation last Sept, he had waited 2 years to ride it, he was not happy you should be fine, it's next scheduled to break down on our next vacation next year!:hammer:

Talk about bad luck...I go very often and I have only seen it down during its rehab last fall and one other time when it was VERY windy.

It's a decent coaster...if you get the right train! lol Love hearing Elevation by U2 on that ride! So many good tracks!

It only opened 18 months ago......actually maybe 20 months ago at this point. Im there all the time (wrestling geek) maybe 4 or 5 days a month, since the major shutdown the OP was alluding too its been running all the time with actually quite short waiting times. 20-30 minutes maximum

Last time I was there they were testing... which I think over ran because it was suppose to be open then.

I'm glad they have proper songs on it because i heard a rumour theyd lost that right and were using generic songs that just fitted a genre and not by a particular artist.

Yup, there's even "hidden songs" you can access.

I loved using Moving Right Along! I also enjoyed Crocodile Rock and Rainbow Connection

Rip Ride Rocket will be like Dudley Do Right. A hot atraction. Maybe due to all the defects it will jump track during it's daily test before guests get on it and do what needs to be done. Self destruct.

I hope its open!!!!! I love that ride!!! :sohappy: I can only listen to cheesey, MC Hammer songs on that ride

It was opened two weeks ago. It did close for parts of each day we were there.

IMO, the music isn't that great. It is listening to the radio while riding a coaster. The music doesn't sinc up to certain elements of the ride.

The ride itself is just ok. Too many block sections. I understand it is to get a higher capacity, but 5 blocks is a lot.
