Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit^SM

Now open!!

Universal Orlando Resort is ready to unveil one of the most radically innovative roller coasters ever created – Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit^SM. The coaster combines hit music, breathtaking first-ever maneuvers and highly sophisticated audio and video for a one-of-a-kind ride experience.

Riders will pick their own soundtrack and listen as it blasts through individual concert-quality audio systems – all while hurtling through a series of never-before-attempted maneuvers and at speeds up to 65 m.p.h. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit’s audio system will carry songs representing five genres of music: rap/hip hop, country, classic rock/metal, pop/disco and club/electronica. Each rider’s song pick will also be featured on a ride video they can purchase that uses a network of sophisticated cameras to mix music, moves and special effects.

Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit features 3,800 feet of steel track, a 17-story vertical lift and six maneuvers – three of which have never been built before.

• Double Take – First-Ever Maneuver
• Treble Clef – First-Ever Maneuver
• Jump Cut – First-Ever Maneuver
• Crowd Surfer
• Drop Tuning
• Plot Twist

The new Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit^SM Roller Coaster will rock Universal Orlando Resort.
