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

Yeah Rockit's lift is obviously just testing...any comments saying "I hope its faster" are redundant because it obviously will be faster (11 fps to be exact).

Looks pretty neat...I will be in Orlando in a month so I will be close to riding it (though i doubt it will open by then).

I hope it's faster[:D]

Anyways...is there like a whole view of the thing? I wanna see how far they have gotten with the scenery.

this thing is looking amazing! the test looks great, and so does the train! Just want to run over and ride it now!!!

WOW! Im gonna have to ride this One Thanks for the info

Even with the lift that slow it looks like you should get some awesome ejector on the backseat!

Anyone that even for a second thought that lift speed was final should feel ashamed for thinking they know a little something about roller coasters.

I heard it cam out july 4th (4th of july) but idk if it was a rumor if any 1 no's the date pm thanks.

Nope. Don't know where you heard that, but it's not open.

when is the opening day??

Check out this awesome vid. of the testing progress!

And the opening date might be the 22nd, a comment on this vid. says there might be a soft-opening on the 22nd of this month...idk.

Oh, and this is actually a complete-circuit video!!! That lift has REALLY kicked in, it's fast as hell!

CHECK IT OUT!

And i jizzed in my pants.

That looks like a MUCH better lift speed

rockit has a total of 7 trains available to use, though only 4 will be ready for use when it opens.

Apart from the non-inverting loop and the final little helix... I have to say, watching it go round with the train on now, it looks slightly dull.

Yeah, I think they are trying to milk the, "Flying over the heads of the people walking on the boardwalk" - thing

...I don't care if it does that!

Give me a thrilling ride for crying out loud!

P.S. And there are WAY too many brake runs!

there does seem to be a very very slight pause in the roll of the loop.

I think this thing would be great if they didn't put on all those brakes.
