renaline pumping? On Universal Studios new roller coaster, you'll find yourself heading straight toward the sky at a breakneck 65 mph taking you 17 stories above the theme park. Before you strap in, you pick the song to rock out to. Don't worry, all your screaming for dear life will be caught on a video that you get to take home with you, which you then can send to your friends, who'll promptly upload it to YouTube. It's Roller Coaster Web 2.0.
Billed as a "true high-intensity, multi-sensory experience," Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit touts six near-miss moments and first-ever thrills including a
record-breaking loop. Four ride vehicles can be on the track at any given time with concert lighting and special effects mixed in — kinda like if U2 built a rollercoaster.
Customize the ride experience by choosing what song will play
while on the roller coaster. Choose from five genres including classic rock, rap, country,
pop and disco. Once you're strapped in, choose your song or let the
coaster’s digital sound system choose for you. I suggest Europe's "Final Countdown" or Blue Oyster Cult's "(Don't Fear) The Reaper," if they're available.
Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit
will be located near the Jimmy Neutron attraction.
