Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Finally Opens

After what seems like an absolute age the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit has finally opened at Universal Studio Orlando. This new one-of-a-kind coaster runs along 3,800 feet of track and rockets nearly 17 stories above Universal Studios. At one point you climb 167 feet in 16.5 seconds, and hits speeds up to 65 mph! But what makes this ride special is the customisable soundtrack that you can choose before you are launched out of the starting gate. You can choose from a wide range of music including classic rock, rap, country, pop and disco tracks that will play during your ride – meaning that no two rides are ever the same. You can even customise a music video of your ride to take home as a souvenir!
