Rip Ride Rockit Layout!!!

[Timmy Boy]

It's from Screamscape. I'm now extremely excited about this attraction. Notice how the different elements of the ride are themed after music terms, like the non inverting loop is Double Take, and Treble Clef. Wow, looks great! I especially love the area around Blue Man, and the theatre near Nuetron thart now looks permanent.

Very cool...I can't wait to see better pictures of the layout.

Ok, the pic of the seat confuses me a little. It looks like it is just a lap bar type restraint, no shoulder restraint? Am I seeing that correctly? I dont know if I can do it without a shoulder harness. Holy crap!

I know...the pictures aren't the best in the world but it's something. The loop doesn't turn you upside down so there appears to be no need for the shoulder harness.

Check out the manufacturer's website and you can see the restraint system.

You can do inversions with this type of restraint but there doesn't appear to be any from that new info.

I think the element names are a bit corny, but other than that, it looks like they've done a good job of keeping it away from most of the theming areas

I always used to tell myself Universal needed a major coaster or ride and had no idea where they could stick it.I always thought they could use some of the soundstages,or the Nick building after the Nickelodeon area closed and I'm amazed they found enough space without touching the soundstages for HHN, the boneyard for concerts and still making Blue Men Group.
