Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Now Open

Universal's new roller coaster that reaches top speeds of 65 mph and towers 17 stories over Universal Studios Florida is now open. It features six near-miss moments and first-ever thrills including a record-breaking loop, the world's first non-inverting loop. A combination of audio and special effects engineering, sophisticated on- and off-board video and one-of-a-kind personalization of the ride itself. You rock out to the song you picked before strapping in. All of the ride is recorded on video and then you can edit your adventure into a music video, then buy a copy to take home or send to your friends. It's true high-tech, customizable, multi-sensory entertainment. Brought to you by Vacation Rick Travel and Rick's NFL Picks.
