Rip Ride & Rockit

I awaited this one with anticipation, checking the websites each day and watching its development. As soon as it was opened I was awaiting the day when I would get to visit this monster. And when I finally had my chance to visit the Rip Ride and Rocket, I nearly expressed my excitement through interpretive dance. When we got to Universal Studios in Orlando we got our tickets and entered the park. While my eye constantly remained on the roller-coaster I submitted to the needs of others and patiently awaited my chance to visit this attraction. After several other eventful rides I finally broke away and anxiously made my way towards this colossal net of tracks. When I got up close I realized entirely how large this beauty was. Towering high above me I got into line and prepared for this much anticipated event. While in line they demonstrated how to select the music you would listen to while riding the coaster. I didn’t realize that there was a large selection of music for you to choose from, and then listen to as you speed up and down this track. When it was my turn to ride the beast I got in the line that directed you to the front of the vehicle without hesitation. Once on I selected some heavy rock music and awaited the vehicles movement. It lurched forward and proceeded to travel straight up at a 90degree angle, and then steeply drop in the same fashion. The speed was relentless, I must have been traveling incredibly fast as I rounded the first turns, getting light headed from the G-forces. The loop was massive, and not only massive, it was unique, it never let you upside down, twisting and turning that high in the air was amazing. The ride ended just as quickly as it started, and we were back in station as the loading dock crew clapped for us. We got off and went down stairs only to find out you can buy a video of the entire thing, yea I bought a video of me riding the coaster. If you’re looking for a new unique rollercoaster this is the one, now doubt its amazingly entertaining.
