retroeric Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 ^ Image from towersnerd shows the r!ngs from the base of the lift hill! (: Whey! I think the rings were set up solely to make the ride look more complex than it really is. They were purposely made to look like coaster tracks, but really have no function in the ride. Kinda brilliant actually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blueberrybunchx Posted July 23, 2009 Share Posted July 23, 2009 Hey all! My name is Ashley! I'm new to posting but have been following this thread and the Harry Potter one for awhile now. And let me tell you, I'm super duper excited for this beauty to open too. Me and my family are annual pass holders to Universal and IOA. I just had a quick question about the pass holder's previews mentioned a few posts above... How do they work? And I will get something in the mail (regular or email) saying when this event will be open to us with times and what-not? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I will get something in the mail (regular or email) saying when this event will be open to us with times and what-not? Yes you will receive information via email or a news letter in the mail. It will explain everything you need to know. For example I still have the mailer for ROTM and on it explains the times which was 8pm to 12am, what attraction will be open in addition to, and how much it will cost your guest if you wish to bring one etc etc.... I really enjoy how Universal does their previews, I think you will to once you get the chance to go. And chances are with a larger attraction such as this, I would not be surprised to see an AP event that was spread out over a couple of days. Oh and welcome to the boards!!!

HatetoFLY Posted July 24, 2009 Share Posted July 24, 2009 ok, call me stupid but what are the banners?? The banner is shown here and is what everyone is talking about. Its basically a large tarp that will hide this giant lift a little. Also as far as I know the tarp will only be on one side of the lift. http://www.hollywoodripriderockit.com/#/the-ride/about-rockit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

robbalvey Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Is it just me or do the rings look a bit "weak"? --Robb Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andyuk200523 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 They do look a bit thin, was expecting them to be a bit bulkier, however night rides should be good with the lighting effects they are supposed to have. Finally, can all the Ring A Ding comments end!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King_K. Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 They don't have any lights on them yet either, from what i've heard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buttonman700 Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 During the day they are sad, but I am sure at night they'll be all lit up and stuff! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueberrybunchx Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 I think they look quite good. I'm just excited at least some process has been made. Hopefully they'll get the banners up and this'll open soon...I'm starting to become very impatient. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nowaymang Posted July 25, 2009 Share Posted July 25, 2009 Is it just me or do the ringy dingy ding-a-ling dings look a bit "weak"? --Robb I bet they'll look awesome whilst climbing that lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vondroff Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 ^^^^^^^ You think your getting impatient. Try following this thread since the beginning lol. But I wonder if Universal will face another letdown because this is the last week in July. Its either now or never. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King_K. Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Many Many Thanks to IOAFreak13 at IOACentral for finding this. Some snooping through public trademark records have revealed several names and trademarks Warner Brothers have filed in regards to the Wizarding World.
