Rip Ride Rockit Construction Photos

Thanks for all the great pics! I just received an email about the website and now my boys are so excited about it!

Anyone know what the height restriction will be?
Not sure but since there are no inversions, I would think the restrictions will be the same on the HR3 as RoTM...which is 48 inches. That's strictly a guess though.

I read 51 inches somewhere official, but I can't remember where, I will see if I can find the link


Woot found it, it was right on the Universal site

Thanks! My boys will both be so excited because they will be able to ride it (51" and 53") :banana:
 
As of right now the height requirement is 51" (recommended by manufacturer). That is subject to change at Universal's discretion.

Also from what I have recently heard Rockit will have a load system similar to an omnimover (continually moving with moving belt on the side of track)
 


Well the coaster will only be utilizing a lapbar, and so it'll be a quick check, but once the train is checked, the loaders will signal the train somehow to send it onto the lifthill. If the train does not get that signal from the loader, it will stop before entering the lifthill.
 


No inversions...so there are no shoulder harnesses.

What kind of loop are they referencing on the website with this description?

Features six near-miss moments and first-ever thrills including a record-breaking loop

No matter what it is, we are all so excited to get to ride it!

You will begin on the inside of the loop, change to the outside and then go back on the inside, thus avoiding actually going upside down.
 
The record breaking loop is non-inverting. As you climb the loop the track twists so you ride the outside of the loop at the apex, then as you decend the other side of the loop you twist again so you've never been upside down entering or exiting the loop.

Cool - thanks!
