Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit

I found videos of Universal’s new coaster. Looks like I’m gonna be headed there this winter when the lines are empty.

The ride up is awesome looking.

Check it out at night.

The Universal-supplied animation (probably from the company that built the thing) shows off the big swooping turns. It fills in what you can’t see from the other videos, especially the first loop. The ride is supposed to last a minute and 39 seconds, which is pretty good for a fast coaster (65 MPH). There’s also a new restraint system that doesn’t go over your shoulders. I can’t wait to not be flung out of it.

Wikipedia knows all about it.
