Rockit ride; the update.
I was able to make it back up to Universal Studios Florida today. I was a little disappointed with the Rockit on my first ride, so I was hoping to have a better experience this time. I was not disappointed this time.
Universal still needs to talk with it's paint supplier. They have fixed all the real big spots where the paint was peeling, but they still have more small spots popping up. They still don't have the moving loading system working, but that is where the negativity stops. I had working sound on my car this time. I listened to Klein Mandelbrot, a Blue Man Group song that goes well with the coaster. My music was loud and clear, but I never heard the Evanescence song my wife was listening to right next to me. The music definitely improves the ride. I enjoyed every move that much more, this time. I also think the ride was smoother. It wasn't terribly rough the first time, but I didn't even notice any banging, on this ride.
Universal still has to work out the problems with their loading system to get the ride capacity up to where it should be, but I would definitely recommend riding it if you get the chance.

I glad things got better for this ride. I was hoping some good news for Universal after all these deals with Spielberg and Marvel being spotlighted. There was some big anticipation from the people about this ride when I went down there for the summer. The music seems to be what makes this ride work so well. I going down there for Halloween Horror nights, so I get a chance to ride this bad boy. I wonder if you can leave a request for a song? I hope we hear you review on the show about this ride. Those are some fun shows to hear.

Good to hear. I think its so neat that you can't hear the song the person next to you is listening to. Question, the song you listen to, is it the whole song playing like normal or does it play parts of the song that kind of "match" the sections of track you're on? If that makes sense...

The Blue Man Group song I was listening to, I believe was written for the ride so it was the whole song. I believe the song my wife listened to was unedited, but I am not real sure.
