New video, photos of Universal's Rip Ride Rockit

There are new photos of Universal's Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster testing over at Discover Universal and a new video on Youtube of the track testing at night. You will see in the video that the roller coaster's performance exhibits a vast improvement over the last time we saw it in action. The coaster now takes only 17 seconds to climb the lift hill and runs much quieter than it did before. These improvements were expected, of course, but it's good to see that the roller coaster is well on its way to being public-ready.

Watch the new video below, check out some of the images below that, and head over to Discover Universal for more. [Discover Universal via Screamscape]
