Universal have a new coaster coming for 2009 Hollywood,RIP,Ride,Rocket.
As their biggest offering to date it will be 170ft high (only sheikra at bush gardens will be taller) A top speed of 65mph on a rip-roaring journey from behind Jimmy Neutron ride, out alongside the park, across the waterway to CityWalk and back again. It will feature some high-tech wizardry to enable riders to customize their ride rock soundtrack and other special features will offer a DVD of your ride experience at the end. Sounds amazing but I wonder how they will fit in all the building work around park guests
Looks pretty good. It's amazing how they do the building without too much distraction.

any excuse to go back great[msncool]
From the picture it looks like a similar take-off to the hulk ride. Now that's really something when you get a front seat.
Never sat on the front of the Hulk. Though I do love it. Looking froward to this new one though. Looking forward to harry potter too. Sea world have a new coaster coming soon to. Like we need an excuse to revisit Florida. [msnsmile2]

Some of the mad ones in my lot will like that. Won't be open when we go in August so will have to go back to try it out along with the HP that I have read about which I think is 2009 too. what a shame!
All new rides are a good excuse to keep going back year after year. [msnsmile2]
