Video: Three more for Rip Ride Rockit

Orlando Attractions Magazine was provided three new videos showing off the Hollywood Rid Ride Rockit roller coaster experience at Universal Studios Florida. There is one caveat, though: The videos are CG renderings depicting what the ride will eventually look like. But they are fun all the same.

The first is a virtual POV. The video gives a good sense of how very extreme the lift hill at the beginning of the ride truly is. Much of the park is rendered in the video, so you can see all the landmarks the roller coaster passes as it winds through the park. One of the standout features we noticed is the very real sense of speed conveyed. This is going to be one fast puppy.

The second video shows a perspective from the ground. It opens with an excellent view of the 90-degree lift hill climb. The trains seem to traverse the hill relatively quickly.

The last video is a virtual fly-over. The video goes a long way toward showing how very large the scale of this roller coaster is. It covers a lot of space, both end-to-end and top-down.
