Rode Rip Ride Rocket!

My DDs and rode it on Wednesday. Although the sign said 45 mins, I asked the TM if that was the actual time and he said yes. Well it was more like 90 mins. After we got off the ride DH said the wait time changed right after we walked through the entrance.
My DDs said they thought it was worth the wait. Since it was our first time I tend to agree that it was worth it, however, I would not wait that long to ride it again.

Wait times are so weird right now because they often experience technical difficulties. A 45 minute wait easily changes to 90 when there are issues.

The times are definitely flaky. We had gotten good at doing our own estimate based on how long the line was when they were running three trains. When they added the fourth train, we discovered that it actually seems to load slower and therefore take longer. Initially they were way overestimating the times late in the day, but now they have been pretty dead on, or even understated, in that last hour.

We will be checking in at PBH in exactly 2 weeks today

so was wondering what you guys think the wait times for RRR will be like? Have the crowds started to fall since the day of opening?

Wait times were apparently down to 30 minutes today. Here's a website that lets you monitor the wait times. If Rockit isn't listed, that means that it is experiencing technical difficulties and the line is closed at that time. As I type it is 45 minutes.

My family got to ride it on 8/26/09. It was a great ride and loved picking my own music, but I found that my head was bounced around a bit too much. I was in the last row. When watching the coaster running it appears to be such a smooth ride and my actual ride was not. I'm wondering if it is different depending on the row you are in?

It is different depending on what train you are in. When we watched our videos back my son was bouncing around like crazy but my video (we did single riders) was very different.
