Rip Ride Rockit trains detailed in 3D animation

Itching for more information on Universal Orlando's upcoming super-star roller coaster, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit? Universal has made available a 3D, interactive animation of the roller coaster's train where you can get some details of the coaster's more advanced technology.

One of the more interesting features detailed is the new GIP (Guest Interface Panel) that allows the guest to select a soundtrack for the ride. It allows you to pick a genre and then the song you want to rock out to throughout the ride.

But the GIP wouldn't matter without the hardware to back it up. The speakers, positioned behind and to the left and right of the rider's head, pump out 55-watts of sound for a truly brain-rattling experience.

LEDs line each of the roller coaster's trains and are programed to strobe, twinkle, race and pulse as the it coasts over the track with the help of smooth, ultra-quiet wheels never before seen on a roller coaster.
