I don't know if this question has been addressed yet and if it has, sorry for double posting it, but here it is...

 

 

When you sit in your seat and pick your song, can you hear only your song or do you hear other peoples choices as well?

[traincrossin]

^From the reports i've read, people have said you can only hear your song. Rockit is definitely a must ride if i'm ever in Florida!

When I rode today, I ask my friend who sat next to me if she could hear my song and she said she could not. Oh and her audio was not working so she had no music and still couldn't hear my.

[adeuce02]

i have ridden it twice and once in the front and one in the back and both times i never heard anybody elses music

[KrakenKing]

Just got back from riding Rockit again.

 

We got there at 10, the ride didn't open until 10:40. We waited an hour after entering the queue.

 

Anyway, I did get a hidden bonus track!

 

#123 is Muse - Stockholm Syndrome!

 

To get to the hidden songs, hold the "Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit" logo at the top of the touch pad for a long 5 seconds. Let go and a number pad will appear. Hit a number 031 - 999 and you'll get a song.

 

My ride on it today was MUCH better than it was on Monday. The block breaks aren't as harsh anymore and you really fly through them now. The shake seems to be less too, at least in the train I was riding.

[FeelTheFORCE]

Has anyone ridden it at night yet, or has it not been open that long in a day yet?

[KrakenKing]

I believe the park closes at 7 now. So yeah... no night time rides until the end of September when HHN starts.

[Mochtroid]

I'm betting 666 gives you a heavy metal song.

[Malky]

Don't know if this has been asked but does anyone know how the evacuation system works?

[Fenderbabi14]

thanks everybody for your advice on the line length... it was unfortunately 120 minutes so I didn't have enough time to ride it =[ but it looks amazing and everybody was acting like it was a blast =]

I'm pretty sure the blocks are like any other coaster in that they just escort people off the train on row at a time and down the stairs. If a train stops on the lift and they need to unload, they take the loaded train to the top and unload from up there (Someone correct me if I'm wrong) the same way any other coaster would.

anybody know what the wait time was thursday?????????????

[Homeboy23]

^ From reading on here wait times have been consistently 1 and a half to 2 hours.

[retroeric]

So when will they be putting the banner back up?

[KrakenKing]

^ Probably after it's been redesigned to make it less hideous.

[10foottoenails]

Is Stronger by Kanye West censored or uncensored

[Fenderbabi14]

^ most likely it's censored, some parents would have a fit if their kids were listening to the uncensored one.

[10foottoenails]

You are probably right .

[pianojohn]

anybody know what the wait time was thursday?????????????

 

When it opened at 11am, they said it was 3-4 hours. I think this was just to discourage people from staning in line. I would say closer to 1-2 hours, which is still unbearable in this heat.

 

If you can, wait 'til Sept/Oct when they get all 7 trains running and the summer crowds are gone.

[King_K.]

2 more hidden songs.

 

#312 - My Everything by Barry White

#306 - Lose Yourself by Eminem

[Homeboy23]

#306 - Lose Yourself by Eminem

 

Will be my first song on the ride which I am trying to plan a trip in November.

[King_K.]

Just remember that when picking a hidden song, you will -not- be able to buy the souvenir video.

[jedimaster1227]

^According to Screamscape, you will be able to buy the video, but it will play a default song in your video, supposedly by The Crystal Method.

[King_K.]

Makes sense. Gotta milk that video system for every dime!

[retroeric]

^ Probably after it's been redesigned to make it less hideous.

 

It couldn't be any more hideous than it is right now, which looks like scaffolding. This is Universal, not Six Flags. They better put something up there to cover the "construction site" look it has now.
