  • 1.  Rip Ride Rockit's Replacement

    Posted Jun 09, 2025 09:47 PM

    As we all know by now, Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Florida will be closing down on August 18th. What might replace it? My top choice best would be another thrill coaster, maybe similar to Fast & Furious: Hollywood Drift at Universal Studios Hollywood, but as Universal Orlando recently opened quite a few high thrill coasters, we might be in for something more tame.... :/

    There's a clue to the theme of its replacement on the construction walls that recently went up. Right now I'm all for anything that helps boost Studios up after how many great things have gone in at Islands and Epic.

    Oh, interesting! 

    I was there yesterday (June 9) but didn't go over there to take a look.

    Studios has kinda fallen behind the other parks recently. They really could use a great major coaster.

    What I am truly interested to see is what they can fit into that relatively narrow strip of land. Those folks are creative and I'm sure they'll knock it out of the park and give Studios the boost it needs.
