Welcome to Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Orlando
If you're looking for a rip-rocking good time while visiting Universal Studios Florida, then the Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster is the ride for you! And there's a high-tech twist: As you strap into your seat, you'll pick the song you want to hear during your white-knuckle journey on this coaster.
Adrenaline pumping and music thumping, you'll climb 17 stories high (that’s 167 feet) straight toward the sky at a 90-degree angle. It’s this 90-degree angle climb up that often scares the faint hearted away, but don’t let that be you. After that first fear inducing drop, you'll tear through the track, reaching a max speed of 65 mph. Once you're back safe on solid ground, you can view your adventure as a photo or as a music video that you purchase to take home. That way you can relive this adventure again and again.
Now for the particulars:
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a steel roller coaster at Universal Studios Florida.
• RRR officially opened on August 19, 2009
• It is located near the front of the park in a section called Production Central
• It has a height of 167 feet
• a length of 3,800 feet
• and a top speed of 65 miles per hour
• it has zero inversions, so you don’t actually go upside down on this coaster
• ride duration is about 1:40
• at full capacity it can load 1,850 riders per hour
• it has 7 trains with 2 cars. Riders are arranged 2 across in 3 rows for a total of 12 riders per train.
• Universal Express pass and single rider lines are available for RRR
• The minimum height requirement to ride is 51 inches but there is a child swap area for this ride
• Also, if you are 6’7” tall or taller, you are too tall to ride RRR
• The restraint used on RRR is a lap bar not an over the shoulder restraint
• If you are in Wheelchair you will need to transfer from the wheelchair into the ride vehicle. Also, all Prosthetic Limbs must be removed before riding
• Please note Universal say that if your waistline is 40” or greater, there is a chance you may not fit. Best thing to do if you’re worry you may not fit is to try the test seats provided at the entrance of the attraction.
• And for our last “must know” before you go….This attraction will require you to pass through a metal detector as loose articles are strictly prohibited. Cell phones, cameras, keys, and the like are not allowed. There are small lockers at not cost for you near the start of the queue. However, there is a small fee for the LARGE lockers should you need one.
Now, on to the RIDE EXPERIENCE:
The Queue
Guests first enter into one of three queues; either the stand by queue, the express queue, or the single rider queue. Each of these will have the afore mentioned metal detectors. In each of the queue lines, there are several large screen displays that explain how to pick a song to play during the ride and important safety instructions. In the video, characters called "Video DJ's" are used as demonstrators to provide a visual explanation. Other than that, the RRR queue is rather boring and weakly themed…rather boring in fact.
The Ride
Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit features on-ride music, LED lighting, and on-ride photos and videos captured from cameras mounted in each passenger row. The roller coaster operates with seven stadium-style seating X-Car trains. So it’s almost like every row is front row seating, almost.
One of the eye-catching, heart stopping features about RRR is the climb up, which is set to 90 degrees. Just seeing this causes many to just turn and go find something a little more tame.
The loading station for the roller coaster is a unique design, in which trains enter and slow down but do not stop. There is a moving sidewalk on both sides that moves at the same speed as the train allowing riders to board. Riders have approximately 30 seconds to take their seat, lower the lap-bar, and make their song choice. After the restraints are checked, the train immediately begins to climb the 17 story, 167-foot vertical chain lift, and the song selected by the rider begins to play. The on-ride video recorder also begins recording.
RIP RIDE ROCKET SECRET SONG LIST:
orlandopasshold...
The first time I went on I was kind of nervous, so the song I choose was “ I will survive”🤣🤣🤣
But now I LOVE the rip ride rocket, and the hulk
Any advice if I feel scared to death??
@@cindycastro8455 heres advice if you still need it, in ur phone open ur notes app and write a “note to self” to read right before going onto it which definitely gives u an extra boost. Pick
some thriller music, honestly dont waste ur time on the country music haha
My favorite is Metallica - Cyanide. I believe it is secret track 701. Rick is correct. You cannot purchase the video due to copyright issues if you select a secret song, but you will be able to watch your video at one of the kiosks. The only time I have had issues with selecting a secret song was due to one of the attendants checking the lap bar, which caused me to let go the screen button before the 10 seconds required to press it.
That’s a good one
I haven’t been to Universal so I loved the walking tour!
Hey rix thank you for making videos even when the park is closed 💛🖤
My Favorite is probably:
Secret Code song 113; “Immigrant Song” by Led Zeppelin.
My favorite Rip Ride Rocket song is Kickstart My Heart
Rikipedia and Rip Ride Rockit. clever marketing there. I appreciate this video. roller coasters scare me, but I love learning about them. 🙂
May I use this footage in a video I'm making about the world's most expensive roller coasters? I will give your channel full credit.
Sure thing
Theme Park Crazy? Peter? Funny to see you here
8:21 Hidden Rick! Love the Rick-a-pedia! Looking forward to seeing The Hulk!
thats right!
Hidden Rickey!
everytime I go on Rip Ride Rockit I always pick The Devil Went Down to Georgia, it's my favorite song to listen to.
my fav is whom the bell tolls if anyone wants to get it you have to hold down the logo at the top for 10 secs and then type 701
Love it!! This is so helpful! This is definitely the ride that scares me the most, but the video definitely seems like a fun touch!!! I'm hoping my fiance and I go for our honeymoon and conquer this together 🤞🏻❤
😎👍
How did ur honeymoon go
Rikipedia is an awesome concept! Thanks so much, Rick, and especially for starting off with one of my favorite rides! 🎢👍
BTW, I always go for ZZ Top “Gimme All Your Lovin.”
That ride hurt my neck so bad. Thank God for ibuprofen 800!
Woah the return of hidden Rickey! 8:21 I hope they’re here to stay!
OMG it's been a year since I've been here and I still remember the recording... "ARE YOU READY TO ROCK OUT MAKING MUSIC VIDEO HISTORY"...
Love this ride!! More coasters need music!!
For me it’s between gimme all your loving and kickstart my heart for the official songs (can’t pick between those 2). And vertigo in the hidden list,number 128 on the keypad. Awesome coaster! You gotta ride it!
Flying to Orlando today hoping to ride the Rip ride rocket
8:23
Was too scared to choose any music more interested in coming off alive lol
Nice info on RRR... personally don't ride this one often, but when I do, I like Midnight Rider. Looking forward to the new series and hope you all are doing well! ~Dawn
Rick, thank you for continuing to make videos through this strange time. I look forward to them every few days and it helps remind me this will end and I’ll be back out at the parks eventually. 😎
Yay first comment
124 Breaking Benjamin - Diary of Jane!! Literally the best song for this ride, hands down.
I've only ridden it once but I chose Kickstart My Heart by Motley Crew and I swear it made the ride 10000x better than it would've been with a different song
Should be a great series, can't wait to see what is next.
I loved this video! Can't wait to get to Universal and go on this ride for the first time!
Glad you decided on Rikipedia
Rick just imagine all the building that being done when there's no crowds around probably getting a lot of production done . You should mention it today in your watch party
I know I can’t wait to see how much the Jurassic park roller coaster has changed!
"Bioreconstruct" on twitter (can access by searching on web without "joining" Twitter) has amazing aerial pictures of Jurassic coaster from 7 days ago - including small section of track installed in a tunnel area. He hangs out open door of helicopter with harness to get the shots from 1000 feet up.
I know he is my go to guy for photos but he has not been getting many recently. I can’t wait to see how much more track has been placed!
Great video, love the new series. Would be great to see these even when the parks reopen!
Kickstart my Heart, Sabotage, or Rollin'
Good choices
Gonna go May 12th for a school trip I’m so excited to go visit universal again and ride the best roller coaster EVER in over a year
Yess! Lucky! Im also going soon
when you go to universal studios for ur school trip, are you gonna go on the hulk rollercoaster?
Kickstart My Heart! I picked it the first time and the next 3 times.
I love this ride now but the first time I went on going up I was like you know what I’m Gianna die today oh well bye bye world lol but when I was going down I was like ehh I,ve been on scaryer rides lol I went on it like 50 Times no joke lol
My favorite is living in fast forward by Kenny chesney
I do either of the Beastie boys songs, paralyzer by finger eleven, or painkiller (hidden track). My favorite is painkiller cause it just goes so hard. Lol
😎👍
Yesss that’s one of my favorites to play too
Kanye west stronger is probably the best song to choose!! I use that song every timee
I was hesitant about going on this ride but if they got a kanye song it's now a must
Is that on the secret list? Or a regular selectable song?
Rikipedia.... great concept!
RIP ride rockit is one of my favorite rides. On our last day there I went on it 2 times
Every time I travel down to Orlando (which is going to be a lot more because my family just moved down there) I'm so excited to get on this coaster. Then I ride it and remember how rough and painful it is. Awesome looking, horrible ride. Oh and did I mention it has more block brakes than any coaster I've ever ridden. Maurer should stick to building wild mouse coasters. They're not ready to play with the big boys yet.
Went on it twice today after telling the employee we want to go again and they let us. Hulk was much more rough and this ride surprised me after all the negative reviews. Velocicoaster is the best of the three though
I like this roller coaster. My favorite one to pick is Gloria Gaynor "I Will Survive"
Hey rix good video thanks for the chat my favorite song would be cardi b
Love your video!
Hidden Rickey at 8:22 or 8:21. Miss you doing the hidden Rickey
i’m going in a few days and you gave me a great idea for beastie boys
This is a great ride.
#709 Pantera, Mouth for War
Is there really pantera
Can’t wait to see the hulk since I couldn’t go on it last time I was at IOA 😎!!!
I could imagine the hulk being next on Rikepifia because it’s one of his favorite rides
Kickstart My Heart by Mötley Crüe is my go-to song!!
"Rikipedia"=BRILLIANT!!!
😎👍
Not sure I’m brave enough, but thanks for sharing all the facts. 👍
My favorite song on that ride is kickstart my heart of motley Crue
Secret song 113
Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin absolutely the best song in my opinion.
The drums as you ascend that 90 degree
Yay second comment
Appreciate it I’m going to universal in a few months and I might get a video and a quick question if you pick one of the regular songs can you still get your video? What I mean by secret songs is when you hold down the logo for 10 seconds.
This ride the first time I rode it I was so scared I rode the velocicoaster I thought it would be scarier but it wasnt
Love Universal
loving this new series, my only suggestion is that maybe you could also include the height in metres for all your non american viewers lol! keep up the good work Rick and hope you, Nikki, and the family are all doing well
Rick what's your favourite song u like to listen to on the Hollywood rip ride rocket
My favourite song on the rip ride rocket is Limp bizkit rollin
What’s the code for Kickstart my heart?
Any tips I’m so scared to go on it but I want too ??
Limp Bizkit Rollin'
okay... even in express pass for this ride the wait is still really long and the recording that plays while you wait is SOOOO annoying. Still a fun ride though.
Is this ride scary and does this give you a headache?
Beastie Boys "Sabotage" !!
I Can Sleep When I'm Dead by Jason Michael Carroll (in the country menu) 🤠
Song I always used
Paralyzed by Fingers eleven. I always forget to enter the hidden song
😎👍
Why don’t they make rides for tall people my boyfriend is 6’7 😢
If kiss is a option for the rock section I’m in on that if not it’s going to be country
I am so sorry to tell you this but the parks are closed until April 19 and Disney might do the same I am so sorry to give you bad news 😐💔
112-free bird or 306-lose yourself since they took off bring me back to life
Oh no, my boyfriend won’t be able to ride. Are there height maximums for everything, or just a few rides?
Just RRR as far as I know
@@RixFlix thank you!
Do you choose from a list of songs or can you pick literally any song?
It’s a list of songs
I’m 6’4 and i rode this ride last year
3 more inches and you’d have to skip it
Idk if i held my head back to much or what i did but this ride really hurt my neck after.
sometimes its a bit shaky
Let us know if Universal is going to open up in April and if they have toilet paper;)
I have to play the Kanye west song 😂
just rode this on March 4th, and found it very painful to the neck, head and balls lol.
Can you give me advice on riding. I'm scared of riding rollercoaster.
Sorry, I can't help! I'm looking for some advice on riding too. :(
Mc Hammer
Is there still work happening at Epic Universe?
Tomorrow will be the last day for a couple weeks as Orange County will be at stay at home orders
i picked u can't touch this
So I’m confused how do these watch parties work?
The videos premiered at 6pm eastern time and we can live text chat as we watch
Power by Kanye West or free bird from the Secret songs
Well in February I tried 112 what I thought was free bird but a different song played even though it said I picked free bird
😎👍
Kick start my heart motley crew
Stronger - kanye west
😎👍
my biggest fear here is to slip off lol
Kick start my heart or can’t touch this
😎👍
steonger by kanye west
That's a ride I'll never go on
Not a big fan of roller coasters
I always felt like they missed an opportunity here to them this towards one of their properties instead of what feels like a bland generic feel other than the music.
The ride is fine until the endless left turn at the end 🤢
Nope. Only ride at either park I won’t ride.
I know that it has too many brake runs and is ugly to look at.
I agree with the brake thing, but how is it ugly?
The yellow and red does not mix well along with the fact that they removed the painting on the side and is now just a skeleton.
The first time I went on I was kind of nervous, so the song I choose was “ I will survive”🤣🤣🤣
But now I LOVE the rip ride rocket, and the hulk
Lmaooo I did the exact same like I just clicked the first song that popped up and that was the song
