'Rockit' will roll 'em at Universal Orlando in 09

Yeah, just look at the height comparison of the lift tower and the non inverting loop. There is a very noticeable difference between the two, and since its the first element up, the car (or train, I don't consider the X-cars trains when paired up) will fly through that thing. I'm just wondering how the laterals will be; Doesn't seem to be very heartlined

I can't wait to ride this monster!

Since I suck at putting images into topics, here is the link:

For some time I havent seen anything on this ride, and I just found this picture on google of the new cars. All I can say is that they are hawt.

I know this is kind of late...but maybe their going to do "DL: Space Mountain" station thing. Where 1 train is emptied while two more are filled(that's if the official loading style hasn't been shared).

Rockit is now complete.

Here is another site will a ton of coverage of the completed ride:

That picture is soooo sick!

someone get me a tissue...

speachless..

Im going to ride this may 23

And now I need to find a date to go to Universal Studios Orlando..

I wonder why USH won't get a new coaster? They need something more thrilling than what is available..

They are getting one... Transformers

That is said to be one of those 3D laser battle rides, not an actual coaster. Not certain though.

Ya it's suppose to take up the Back Draft and that monster creature thing. And that's a shame because those are really popular. It's gonna probably be like that Toy Story Blaster Thing at California Adventure.

yeah, backdraft was cool, moneters show was dumb, not my kinda thing, and I'm sure the ride with have awesome fire effects though with Backdraft all set up with the ventalation system and things. Should be cool either way.

nice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is some HRRR testing footage.

That as slow as a Meisho coaster lift!

Wow...

Hopefully that's just temporary...right?

[Turbo]

Im pretty sure that they do that to make sure that the train rolls through everything at the minimum speed, like they did for iSpeed - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LGOwo61s ... r_embedded

I'm willing to bet it is only temporary otherwise they'd have trains stacking all over the place.

Not very good capacity.

^speaking of which... the ride already has rolled-back. iSpeed that is...

Yes, we're quite aware. They have to test every feature and/or possible scenario to make sure the ride is safe and working properly.
