Rockit, Man at Universal Orlando

Tuesday January 6, 2009
Universal Studios Florida will take ride interactivity to new heights when Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit debuts this spring. The 167-foot tall, 65 mph thrill machine will give passengers the ability to control the attraction's soundtrack, and will allow them to "rip" a take-home memento of their wild coaster experience. Read about the new coaster's unique X-Car seats (they have no over-the-shoulder restraints, despite the ride's inversions and high speeds) and more at the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit preview.

Will you be ripped enough to ride Rockit? Sound off about the new Universal attraction by clicking on "Comments" below.
