If you are taking a trip to Florida this summer, don’t miss out on Universal Orlando. One of the highlights of this theme park is that they have a brand new, innovative roller coaster set to open. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit will be open to the public in late spring/early summer.
Not only does the coaster offer breathtaking, first-ever maneuvers and speeds up to 65MPH, but also features audio and video components for a very unique ride experience.

Riders can pick their own soundtrack from five genres of music (rap/hip hop, country, classic rock/metal, pop/disco and club/electronica). The music is then blasted through the concert-quality audio system during the ride. You can also purchase a ride video that mixes the music selection, moves and special effects.
Universal Orlando’s Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is the tallest, largest and fastest X-CAR style roller coaster in the world. The X-CAR design allows for a more open ride with maneuvers that other traditional coaster can’t perform.
Check out this video preview to see more about what this ride will offer. Be sure to visit UniversalOrlando.com for park hours and prices. The website will have more details about the new ride soon.
