Rip Ride Rockit is OPEN!

Yes it is open, we were on it today.
This was our last day at the parks as we go home tomorrow, we could not believe our luck and only a 5 min wait at 10.30am.

Is it running any smoother?

This was our first time on it so cannot say, it does seem quite smooth but I kept my head off the headrest as I found it to be a bit hard.

Glad to hear it, I was starting to worry that it wouldn't be open for our Xmas trip.

Just came home on Monday. Just missed it.

I heard it was still rough. I'm thinking some of the cars still have problems. It's good that they have it open again though. No more rumors!

Yep, just back, we were surprised last wednesday when we got there it was up and running, we walked on to it three times in a row with no wait, my kids loved it, it scared me to death! I bet my kids rode it 7 or 8 times they couldn't get enough of it. I thought the cars were very smooth, don't have anything to compare it too since this was our first time riding it but it was awesome.

Rip Ride is perhaps my favourite coaster ever but like many, i felt it was spoiled by some of the cars being really rough to sit in. I personally found even numbered carts to be smoother.

Its an incredible ride and a shame they have these kind of problems

Happy for those going soon, though, that they will be able to ride!

Can't tell you how many times my kids would look at the red track and wish it was open, not just so that they could ride, but to add atmosphere to the park. Glad it is open, sad we missed it by so little.

YEAH!!! We are going in Jan. Hopefully it will stay in working condition by then.

Word is that the cars are running much smoother! Such great news!

We were there on 10/27 and were thrilled to see this ride open. I rode HRRR for the first time in July and found it to be very smooth. That was not the case last week. Both my husband and I found the ride very rough and in fact I had such a headache that I had to go back to the hotel and lie down.

That is what happened to us too. Now, I won't even take that chance and I just don't ride it. There seems to be one vehicle that is really, really rough. It just isn't worth the risk. I don't know why they won't fix that car though.

Does this ride have Universal Express now?

Also, I heard there was a 'secret song list'. Does anyone have a list of the 'secret songs' and the code numbers?

No express line yet, but as earlier posted by another person, our wait was not long at all - probably 15 minutes. It seemed to me they were running more cars trying to get up to a more reasonable capacity.

Using any of those will disable the video function.

They need to get the capacity up before there will be any express access.
