The latest rumor around the Universal Orlando Resort suggests that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit will permanently close sometime in 2025. This rollercoaster at Universal Studios Florida is getting older, and is not very popular with guests, which means its final days could be near. Let’s take a look at several recent changes that point towards this rumor being true.

This Coaster Is One of the most Underrated coaster ever! It has great Airtime, The Block Breaks Barley slow it down, its smooth, and you get to listen to music on the ride. I seriously don't get the hate for this ride!

@rogerayala6878 2 месяца назад

People always complain about... Well... Everything!, oh the seats are unconfortable, oh the ride is rough, oh this and oh that... Its barely a 1 minute and a half ride, Im sure you can survive for that long while at the same time having a really good time, cause if theres something NOBODY can debate, is that this ride is fun!

@zandresteven7983 2 месяца назад

@@rogerayala6878 yeah, but complaining about a painful experience is justified. Ride it all the times. If I don't brace myself properly, it will give me a huge migraine. Makes me second guess myself if I should ride it or not most of the time. Its the only rollercoaster that's not a dark ride on the studio side. and it has nice air time. But I understand why people don't like it. My wife liked it in her 20's but not so mush in her 30's. So i don't know.

@rogerayala6878 2 месяца назад

@@zandresteven7983 yeah I think thats the thing with this ride, you really gotta brace yourself and keep your head firmly on on the back!... If you dont it can be rough!... Same thing happened to me on Velocicoaster, I was literally, half body to the side of the train car and the thing goes so fast and turns so much you dont have time to fix yourself... I ended up with a really bad pain on the ribs area!

I got in in a posted 45 minute wait line, and ended up walking out of the line after two hours of the ride constantly breaking down. This past October, this was the theme of my entire vacation at Universal; waiting in line for hours for rides that shut down. Very frustrated and disappointed with Universal recently.

They working with mack rides on 3 attractions at epic universe and were considering a mack extreme spinner for curse of the wearwolf but chose a the more tame version. I wonder if they already done deal with mack for an extreme spinner at studios to replace either rip ride rock or replace fast and furious as that is also rumored to be replaced with a coaster.

@davidkelly9679 2 месяца назад

I rode it in September, it was the only attraction during my visit to Florida I did not get multiple rides on, it was just so rough. It's a pity because it's a fun layout and the ride does have its fans. Just not for me.

Hey there! So, I used to really enjoy this ride, you know? It was all smooth sailing, and I had a blast every time I hopped on. But lately, it's been a bit of a headache, I gotta be honest. It's like the tracks are in need of some serious refurbishment or something. Maybe they could even consider replacing it with a cool hybrid roller coaster like the Velociciaster. Just a thought.

@GreenYoshi3881 Месяц назад

Oh well it’s not that fun and gave me the worst headache and body aches that I was done for the rest of the day. I also felt like Inwas going to fly out of this ride. The velocicoaster and Hagrid ride were more intense and I didn’t experience any problems after those rides. I will never ride it again.

They should ditch F&F and put in an updated Jaws attraction. The classics have staying power, but nobody is going to remember all the 4D bs screen rides with the shaky cars. It's fine if there was one ride like that, but not 50% of the whole park!

They are definitely never closing down Rip Ride Rockit it's far too popular. It is just a rumor, and Universal Studios Orlando doesn't look very "good" without the coaster when you first enter the park, it messes up the presentation and Universal also lacks coasters, something Islands of adventure has.

Ppl also said iOa would never remove dueling dragons but they did and that was a far superior ride in every way possible. I look for a ride with a similar support structure to replace it.

They absolutely need to replace this ride. It is nowhere near Universal caliber. Its capacity is literally the only thing that doesn’t suck. But how it achieves that cancels that out.
