![]() The choose your own music part is cool on RR and can take the edge off or amp it depending on what is going through your mind at the time. You go straight up and then pretty much straight back down again. If the visual scares you the first hill of RR is going to terrify you. Have to say the Rip Rocket on the terror level is much higher than Hulk or RnR. It does happen to the best of us but I have been on that ride 2 times so at least I have ridden it I choose not to do it again. There is one ride in Orlando that I don't like so I too have sat on the bench of shame. Or as my family would say, "Ride it or go sit on the bench of shame until we ride it.". 10 Times on RnR you have to be able to get on the Hulk. This is presumably for a standard refurbishment. ![]() The closure will last through August 25, with it scheduled to reopen to guests on August 26. You need to man up and give the Hulk a try. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit in Universal Studios Florida will be temporarily closed beginning August 21. Photo courtesy Universal Photo submitted by Robert Niles. I would say the Hulk is the better of the two. Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit photo, from. The major difference is you can see the hulk and you can't see RnR. ![]() I believe the Hulk predates RnR but they have the same launch system and both have loops etc. If you look at it the Hulk and RnR are not that much different. If you've done Rockin, though you're probably ready for both, and if you can enjoy the first 20 seconds of Hulk you're ready for anything the roller coaster world can throw at you. Honestly, though, the most stressful part of the experience is having to empty your pockets into the lockers and getting wanded by the guards. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is absolutely a roller coaster, and it’s extreme in several ways but we’ll get into that in a bit. It also is rather infamous for those particularly uncomfortable Maurer-Söhne restraints. RipRide is less intense than Hulk, or even Rockin, but if you have a fear of heights it may bother you, especially the vertical lift. I haven't ridden it since they refurbished the track, but in the best conditions a B&M coaster is just about the smoothest thing out there, even when it's doing crazy maneuvers. Also, the track is filled with sand and gravel to reduce the noise when a train is on the track. Because the lift hill is vertical, a special evacuation system is used in the event that a train stalls on the lift. That being said, Hulk is considerably more intense than Rockin, maybe not in terms of quantifiable G-forces, but the way it throws you straight from the angled launch into a cobra roll and then into a vertical loop is more violent than anything else in Orlando. The steel track of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is 3,800 feet (1,200 m) long, and the height of the lift is approximately 167 feet (51 m). ![]() If you can handle Rockin, I'm sure you can "do" pretty much any coaster out there. ![]()
