HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 сен 2024
- Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a steel roller coaster, located at Universal Studios Florida, in Florida USA. The ride opened to guests as one of the most technologically advanced roller coasters of it’s time, featuring customizable on-ride music, LED lighting, and onride video capture of guests as they hurtle around the track. In this video, we explore the statistics of the ride, as well as why it shouldn't have been built at all!

Never knew Maurer owned the non-inverting loop concept. Wow, Maurer. You must be fun at parties
Yeah, it's pretty crazy!
Your comment gave me life, Northern Rides. 😊
Expedition Theme Park:
"The History of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit"
Coaster Bot, a week later:
"What is Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit"
P.S. I get that this could just be a coincidence, videos take a long time to make.
I won't lie! I was thinking the same thing! In fact, I was trolling these comments just to see if someone posted this!!!!!
It's been ten years that why
lexfacitregem same actually
Yeah I start working on my projects usually weeks in advance, so I was quite far through production once his video came out. It doesn't matter though, we both have different styles!
@@coasterbot Yes......fair enough! You guys do have different styles, I have to concede...though I must say that you have the posher (public school) accent.....whereas 'Expedition' sounds more like a chavvy south London/home counties one. Yeah....I keep on thinking of Sadiq Khan everytime I hear 'Expedition Theme Park' speak!
"What is: Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit - Universal Studios Florida" ?!
More like "What is: A block brake"
thats Disney
@@dotdankory 😂 Yeah
Lol true
ImpaledBerry No! Disney is what is a kid’s ride?
@@Mooory yeah uhhhhh... tron? incredicoaster?
The only reason I know this ride is because it has so many brakes
And the GP
I didn´t have any break yesterday -_-
The brakes are block sections. Thats why this ride can run 7 trains
Maurer Söhne:. How many brake run segments do you want on your new ride
Universal: *Yes*
Anytime B&M says they’re too busy to build a coaster for you, you’re screwed
BGW: can you build something for us?
B&M: no we’re too busy
Result: Drachen Fire
USF: can you build something for us?
B&M: no we’re too busy
Result: this
Carowinds: can you build something for us?
B&M: no we’re too busy
Result: Nighthawk
this is a blessing tho
@@duditon1 No that's just because Paramount wanted a flying coaster at Carowinds and they didn't want to buy it new.
Ahhh, Drachen Fire. Rip
Ride Rockit
actually, b&m didnt think they had the power to build one at williamsburg, so they went with arrow dynamics instead which tried to copy b&ms support structure
I just saw this. Great video! I love seeing different versions of the same topic. It is so interesting to see the differences.
Thank you very much man! I watched yours after I finished mine and I couldn't agree more! It's great that we both approach things from a different perspective :)
Is it a great coaster? No. Is listening to Rainbow Connection while riding a coaster one of the most magical experiences you will ever have? Probably.
I definitely think the addition of music helps the ride!
yeah. but ive never been there. my dad says we may go to orlando for horror nights. and we may do hollywood rip ripe rockit
The three times I’ve ridden either the touch screen didn’t work so I couldn’t pick my music or the speakers were out entirely(but I could here the person’s next to me).
This isn't the best coaster, but it's still one of my favorites. Listening to the music of your choice on a roller coaster is an incredible experience. Song selection is pretty good too with the inclusion of the secret songs. Going through a non-inverting loop with Freebird (112) blasting in your ears is absolutely amazing.
It'd be nice to see more coasters with on-board audio.
It would depend on the ride, like I think helix would be cool to have its soundtrack playing as you ride
Oh yeah that'd be awesome Just Jack!
Just wear your earbuds
@@CrossedCoder and what, lose your phone halfway through??
a ride's soundtrack / audio design gives it character - this shouldn't be changed by the rider, but rather designed and unchangable
Vertical lift hill but no vertical drop?
To be fair, the invention of the vertical lift predates the vertical drop by nearly 30 years.
@@SonOfFurzehatt But this ride was built after lots of Euro-Fighters had been built, so I can't see why they couldn't have gone vertical with the drop -- or beyond vertical!
I'm not sure the trains are capable of cresting the tight radius required for a vertical drop as they're quite long
This coaster isn't great, but it does have my favorite element. That non-inverting loop gives nuts ejector!
No it doesn't
edit 14/1/2022: man I didn't know how to shut the fuck up at this time
@@blitzn00dle50 I should've specified lol, it gives rly good ejector if you're in the back and have some room between you and the lapbar
@@elliotbeaver8299 Well other non inverting loops are way faster so yes, the other ones are probably really good.
It does look like a very cool element, I'm yet to experience one sadly!
...and then they gets slammed-back into that nut-crushing post that comes-up between your legs...
What is Rip Ride Rockit to me? My 70th coaster!!! I visited Florida for the first time end of April/beginning of May and Universal was my third major park on the trip. I personally thought this ride was amazing, yes there are too many MCBRs lol but I didn't find it to take away from the experience that much. I've yet to ride a Gerstlauer so this had my first vertical lift, quite an interesting experience. I found this ride to have crazy ejector everywhere, including into the midcourse runs, and those tight turns and the (non-inverting?) inclined loop were crazy forceful. Overall just a phenomenal ride and definitely a great fit for Universal. Did not know about the secret playlist so I'll definitely have to try that the next time I go back. Thanks for another great video, Harry!!
I'm glad you really enjoyed the ride! No problem, thanks for watching :)
I totally agree! I think this coaster is hated too much!
I haven’t seen a single comment mentioning this so far, but the hole in the building that the track goes through actually belonged to Twister before it closed in 2015. If you were standing in the queue you could watch the trains of the coaster speed by and even hear the muffled roar. It’s one of the things I miss honestly.
"Feel the Slowness! Experience the Brake Run!"
Very interesting fact about the non inverting loop!
Glad you thought so!
It's interesting that some riders feel the brake runs take away from the experience. I don't think it does. Because as soon as you go up into the brake runs there's a decent amount of airtime going into those brake runs because of the speed that you up into those which make those parts a bit intense
Having ridden this multiple times, I totally agree! It also gives some amazing ejector airtime!
@@tismejaytee facts.
Unpopular opinion but I like it and think it's better than the Hulk. Now don't get me wrong, the break runs suck and I wouldn't try and compare this to coasters at parks with higher thrills. But if you think of this as more of a family coaster then it's pretty fun. The non-inverting-loop is really cool and the setting, as well as song options, make it a fun coaster. Yes, the break runs ruin the momentum. But it's still a fun coaster in general. You have to think of this as competing with other Universal and Disney coasters and not competing with Sea World or Busch Gardens. In that way, it holds up well and isn't nearly as rough as the Hulk. So while it obviously isn't on par with the flagship coasters of Six Flags, Herschend or Cedar Fair, it is still really fun and allows the line to move faster (which is neccessary if you've ever been to this park.)
Completely agree, Hulk is one of my least favourite B&M's, I'm always underwhelmed by it. It's better since the redo but can never beat other classic B&M's. Meanwhile, RRR is as good as average B&M hypers in my opinion, and much better than Intrimidator-232 at Carowinds (my least favourite hyper). The RRR doesn't provide constant floater air-time, but the non-inverting loop gives great ejector air-time, and I approve of every gimmick this ride has going. Maurer's finest.
...spoken like true GPs. YAWN...
@@bobthebear1246 wow, really clever zinger. I guess liking a coaster because it fits the park it's in is a very GP and unsophisticated way of viewing coasters. Brilliant elite coaster analysis buckaroo.
A ride that enthusiasts claim have a horrible rattle but is actually amazing, and confirms your theory that enthusiasts complain about a rattle on everything!
Just kidding, well, kind of. 😉
I totally get what you mean. Often the rattle is barely noticeable and does nothing to hinder the ride experience!
The title should be
What is: GP: The Ride
I approve this message.
Joe Biden approves this message
I‘ve been on this a few times and i can tell you it‘s a great coaster and it‘s fun, the drop may not be vertical, but it is very steep, also i don‘t know how practical it would be for it to be vertical since it‘s such a long drop it‘s gotta curve out somewhere. I can understand people not liking the brake runs, but you do get airtime into em, and the one before the hole in the building gives you a near vertical drop, it would be nice if they did away with the ones before and after the s curve and put in 2 airtime hills, but i still dont think they‘re bad. Atleast they have drops going out of em. Awesome coaster!
I'm glad you like it :)
3:10
It not only triggers the song, but also coaster enthusiasts as it leaves the station
Lol
I actually really liked this ride. And I go to different parks a lot.
2:28 aren't that Kevin Hart and Jimmy Fallon?
Yea look up the video of them riding it
Hollywood TrimRide Rock-It!
1:21 Hey I saw this one!
*Sad Drachen Fire noises*
rip
Tampa: _laughs in kumba_
This coaster is criminally underrated. Yeah, it’s not making any top 10 lists, but it’s so much fun.
So the only good thing about this is that it created a so so element?
I loved this ride
Great to hear! :)
I'm suprised Logan from koaster kids likes this ride
Also known as brake run: the ride
Yay, thank you for doing this!!! I'm going to Universal next month, and I'm so excited to ride this and Hulk! My coaster count is 47 rn. It'll go up a lot when I get back from the trip!
JTCoasters hi
Crazy 4Coasters hey
Awesome to hear, I hope you have a great trip :)
COASTER BOT thanks!!
This really isn’t that bad of a ride. It irritates me when enthusiasts claim that this ride is horrible because of its mid courses, but let’s be honest. Some of those coaster enthusiasts who claim that have probably never been on the ride, and only claim that because it’s popular to hate on it. Never say a coaster is bad until you’ve actually been on it. I really enjoyed HRRR
Enthusiasts like to complain about everything! ;)
Note: the lap bar restraints are so weird. They are connected to either the right side or left side and rotate around. So, whenever you're going through the ride, one side lifts up a bit which makes it a little weird to ride with.
Yeah I know what you mean, they are a little strange!
Mauer’s restraints were always like that...
No more sand! A roller coaster must roaring like a monster 🤩
Yes agreed but people cimplain its to loud
this is the only X-car ive ridden but i would absolutely love to ride Shock. it looks like a very intense launch coaster.
Zonies Coasters yea,the launched maurer coasters are fun,i rode freischuntz at bayern park and its intense
oh yeah, Shock looks very cool!
Didn’t Expedition Theme Park just cover this?
Yes he did!
I call it "Hollywood. Break run. Rip. Break run. Ride. Break run. Rock it. Break run. F*** this ride hurts." Love it's looks but hate riding it.
Funny as you posted this I’m working this ride today lol
Wow that's pretty cool!
Do you want a ride with those midcourse breakruns?
Been looking forward to this video, Harry! Honestly love this ride. Universal managed to give the Studios a bit more variety with its own roller coaster lineup by the time Rip Ride Rockit opened imo. Plus, Motley Crue's Kickstart My Heart works so well for the ride!
That's great to hear, it definitely is a unique ride and addition to the park. :)
Acctually someone answer this. Why does this have a vertical lift but not a vertical drop
_I want to ride this so bad, I know the lift hill is gonna shake me up but im still willing to do it._
Edit: Oh my god im glad I watched this. I wanna play intergalactic on this
Maurer should have put some brakes on the top of the loop as well
Maurer: *ok*
For Coster Bot go to read more
For people, PLEASE dont say hate make shore to give him feedback
if he is doing something wrong...
Thank you Coster Bot for teaching me a lot more about rollacosters then I used to...
The mid courses don't kill the ride for me and the non-inverting loop gives hella airtime. I think this ride is under looked by most enthusiasts.
It honestly looks it!
No, we just know what a good coaster is, and this *_ain't it!_*
Bob Schneider really? I agree with the guy who wrote this comment, I honestly enjoyed it, and I go to parks a lot. I know you’ll hate me for my opinion, but it’s just what I think.
Nice one Harry , love this coaster . We will be back on it in 9 days 🤩🤩. It’s a must do in studios as it’s the only outdoor coaster there . It is spectacular at night . Favourite tracks when I ride
MARRS pump up the volume
CYPRES HILL insane in the brain
BEASTIE BOYS inter galactic.
Never a dull moment on this one and it looks so cool to 🎢👌🏼🧱👍🏼
Ah man that's great, I hope you have a fantastic time!
COASTER BOT . Thanks pal 🤩🧱👍🏽
Mid course break run mid course break run mid course break run mid course break run
Here is a challenge for you Coaster not.
I want you to explain the Chinese company Golden Horse,since for me they are quit interesting company to talk and it also will be a fun challenge for you.
They’re slightly original models are pretty fun as well but their knockoff sucks
Are you sure Hollywood Dream is a BM hyper? Hyper coasters don’t have inversions.
Also at 6:25 I went on a 2017 and was pulled down. However, we weren’t evacuated.
Yet again, I'm totally immersed into your roller-coaster videos. Thank you for making interesting and factual videos!
No problem, thanks for watching! :)
What it is is the the world record attempt for the most mid course brake runs
Would I see a roller coasters look like this? Sure! Just as long there’s not too many mid coarse brake runs also, what’s the best song in this ride?
I'm glad we got HRRR as opposed to a hyper. it's such an oddball among the skyline.
Tbh the only truly great aspect of the ride is the fact that you can listen to it with music
In the back row u can actually get some decent airtime coming off the MCBR’s
First time ive seen an enthusiast talk remotely positively about a breakrun
Hell in the first row you get good airtime entering the MCBRs. This ride gets too much hate tbh.
Oh I'm sure you do, the drops off them are quite steep!
The airtime is great, but the rattle in the back car is awful.
I would love for another coaster to feature the ability to choose your own song
It’s kind of like Drachen Fire. B&M was too busy and the park had to call up another company
You should do what is railblazer
I rode this, i didnt get the drop feeling, anyone relate? And i got stapled, i could barely breath and i really wanted the ride to stop which never happens to me.
omfg a gp member watching a coaster bot video!!! "the drop feeling" you mean airtime?
@@ryan_n05 no, airtime is getting lifted out of your seat but the drop is that feeling in your stomach. Im not a GP.
@@felixhekster drops usually give airtime, not really this "drop feeling" unless its like a 50 degree drop. if thats what youre looking for then youre better off riding flatrides :P
@@schaap9142 i guess u do get airtime on drops but mainly on airtime hills. I may be new to this but im not a gp, dont worry.
@@felixhekster THAT FEELING IN YOUR STOMACH IS AIRTIME!!!
Great video yet again Harry:)
Thank you! :)
thank you so much for also adding the american units, it's really helpful :)
No problem :)
Look. It might not be a great ride, but I want to ride it because of the secret song thing.
When did you have been to Orlando...
Innovative features like...the block brakes? Or were you referring to the LED's and music?
Definitely the LEDs and music ;)
Harry please do a What Is: Valhalla, I went on it once and want to know if all the effects were working for me lol! There isn’t much content on the ride
I know what you mean, there are so many effects and they don't always work, so it's pot luck! I'll note the suggestion down, thanks :)
I don't know if I would like having the music, I have never experienced it so I can't say for sure but I think I would just want to hear the sounds of the coaster and the wind. Nice video
U hear that on every coaster tho. This is a nice change. And trust me, if u listen to a song u like, the experience feels that much better
@@jamescollings5515 , Yep you make some good points, I guess it could be cool, I guess I'm going to have to get down there and give it a try.
Hey, as a newbie roller coaster enthusiast I have a non-ironic question - why would anyone instal a mid course brake run on a coaster?
TheNomios they are installed to allow multiple trains to safely operate at once. Most coasters are split into different sections - known as ‘blocks’. If the block ahead isn’t clear, the MCBR will stop the train to avoid a collision. Once the block is clear, the brakes will release allowing the train to continue into the next block.
@@2DamnSeddy Thanks :) It turns out all coasters I've ever been to operated only one train at once, hence the confusion.
HRRR: I have most brake runs!
Shredder at Nick Universe NJ: Nah chief, I have more.
Shredder has 6. Stop complaining about HRRR’s 4.
Can you do What is Hangtime at Knotts Berry Farm explained.
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
can you do diamond back at kings island next?
I'll note that down, thanks for the suggestion :)
your welcome. its my favorite at my homepark
Coaster Bot I love ya, but you SOOO failed to mention the most noticeable part of the ride... IT'S 👏🏻 SHAKY 👏🏻 AS 👏🏻 HELL 👏🏻
Last time i went on it felt fine. Guess its gotten a little old
Polar Express Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket’s rattle didn’t bother me, but Incredible Hulk’s rattle did bother me.
ha ha well I've heard mixed opinions with regards to this ;)
Been on 160 coasters. This one is one of my favorites.
Hm
Awesome to hear! :)
The thing that makes me so mad is the fact that Universal didn't get a B&M hyper and instead got a coaster with ten brake runs that may or may not stop you for 30 seconds
It's a shame really!
When I was there, it was broken half the time. I managed to get on while it was operating and found the lift hill really cool. The rest of the ride was uncomfortable Gs and brake runs.
Yeah it doesn't seem to be the most reliable ride out there.
little bit of dueling
Oh man, imagine picking "Bring Me to Life."

How many coasters in the world have onboard sound?
Full list: rcdb.com/g.htm?id=309
I went on this ride back in 2011. And it stopped at one of the mid-course break runs due to technical difficulty's. we waited for at least 20 minutes on that break run until the ride started moving again. it ruined the whole ride experience.
I bet, that sucks!
*Hollywood Rough Ride Rockit
*How many block brakes this coaster has:*
4
They should have Country Roads as one of the songs
R.I.P ride rocket
But what do you think of it Coaster bot senpai ?
I haven't ridden it sadly!
My daughter worked for several years at the Blue Man Group's box office, which is directly across from the Rip Ride Rockit coaster. EVERY hour it would break down, and she refused to ride it, even though she is a coaster enthusiast. Apparently it still happens and everyone who works at Blue Man watches the many problems that it has. I'm shocked that no one has done an investigational video as to why, and could it harm people eventually?
Some rides are definitely less reliable than others. Though poor reliability doesn't mean poor safety. Some roller coasters are extremely over-sensitive, meaning any small thing could cause the ride to shut down. This in turn would make the ride extremely safe but also difficult to operate well over long periods of time.
this is my favorite coaster because of the brake runs
Now that is epic! ;)
Oh and also the treble clef
Anybody have song suggestions
I saw you at Liseberg when you signed balder i was outside loking though the gates i had my phone out then i saw it was you
Oh really, you should have said hello! I hope you had a great day at the park :)
I'd like more rides with on-board audio, but not well-known songs. I'd rather have a piece written specifically for the ride.
at least in europe it is kinda common, see Speed of Sound in Walibi Holland ruclips.net/video/f9zCVCitE7k/видео.html or Dwervelwind in Toverland ruclips.net/video/Q1SJ9_rOQq0/видео.html
Freundlicher Mensch as well as The Incredible Hulk Coaster, that has a cool original soundtrack.
Brake Run... The Ride..
Rip Ride Block Brakes
Looks fun but, man, those mid breaks looks like it ruins the fun a lot ...
Another midcourse break run...seriously i quite like this coaster but the on ride audio is nothing special to me
nice video! im early for once!
Thank you! :)
U guys can totally disagree with me but this ride was kinda slowed
Hollywood trim ride rocket
It's actually not a bad ride even with all the MCBR's.
Yeah it does look pretty good, I'd love to ride it :)
Explain centrifugical force on a roller coaster
I'll note this down, thanks for the suggestion :)
There’s a maurer at my home park, and there are even more brakes.
Is it a spinning coaster by any chance?
