This coaster is just FLYING up. I mean construction is moving full force, and the non-inverted loop is also already completed.

Here's an interesting little blurb about Rockit in the November issue of the Travel Trade Gazette:

They were just waiting for the foundation on the new permanent Hollywood Bowl stage to be done. Now they seem to be working at full steam.

Few new ones from today.

Hm. 1. Ricky Gervais 2. Steve Carell 3. Robin Williams

That is some sexy track right there. More tracks been installed since these were taken. Photos courtesy of Screamscape.

Not the best photo but it's something! More pics later today hopefully.

Finally! The first Supports have started coming up today! Ride track has finally started to go up. First piece was put up infront of the fire house.

Starting the vortex up is equal to launching the Hulk. It is a very true fact, I have many friends that work for the company, and it's always a fun fact they give on the VIP Tours.

The sand castle on Sneetch Beach had been there since the park opened. It's not really a model of the Hogwarts castle at all. Here's a good picture of it.. Click here.

Well, Butterbeer won the previous poll and now their's a new poll to see what your favorite Broom model is. http://www.universalorlando.com/harrypotter/index.html

The Water vortex WILL be returning in Summer, just found this out. They didn't take them out and will be bringing this amazing effect for the Summer Season! Oh, and just in case you guys are interested, the water vortex uses the same amount of energy as The Incredible Hulk. That's an amazing little tid-bit that really still intrigues me.

Looks like a pretty good No-Limits recreation has been posted on YouTube.

It looks as though the only thing they're waiting to start building the coaster is the ground for the Amphitheater, its gutted to make room for the pipes that needed to run underneath. It seems that once thats done they should be able to start building HRRR. It nice to see how different that entire area is and how different it will be. They're also building that load platform pretty quickly, they're in a hurry to get this thing up

Here's a video Orlando Rocks uploaded of the vortex-less tunnel. orlandorocks.com/freevideos.aspx That's just sad.

Yeah, I can't wait for it to be finished. Those construction workers have been going at it day and night. I'm hoping the track starts going up sometime next week.

Here's a couple new pieces of Concept Art.

www.universalorlando.com/gradbash/index.html Just noticed some minor Rockit concept art of the lifthill and non-inverted loop (right behind Krustyland) on the Grad Bash main page too. So maybe it'll be open a bit before the May 8th Gradventure. You can see it a whooole lot better in this wallpaper. www.universalorlando.com/gradbash/images/wallpaper/wallpaper5_1024x768.jpg

Well. Here's the new mini-website for Rockit. http://www.universaltravelagents.com/rockit/ And according to the Gradventure's 09' page it should be open by May 8th. www.universalorlando.com/gradventure/attractions.html

Voted! And proud of it.

Rumors flying through the islands say that the show will go down in the new year to put in the old show up again. No idea about the vortex though. I hear they've been toying with the idea of putting a spinning vortex like the one they used in the HHN house Interstellar Terror.

Yeah, Kuka's been the known ride system for the ride for a while now. Especially since Universal has the 10-year exclusivity to the new Kuka technology in Theme Park use.

I believe it's construction for the new "Hollywood Bowl" permanent theatre that's going in front of HRRR where the boneyard was. Can't wait to see it finished.

Those are some great photos of the model. I love that "loop" element.

Man, I wish Rip, Ride, and Rockit had the same construction crew Manta has. Apparently HRRR is really behind schedule.
