New Roller Coaster Universal Studios Orlando

Orlando, Fla. – We just got back from previewing the state of the art roller coaster now under construction at Universal Studios Orlando. We also took some photos of the new roller coaster at Universal Studios Orlando.

The new Universal Studios rollercoaster is called – The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster.

The Roller Coaster is unique for several reasons. First, it actually goes through the theme park above the heads of tourists. Second, it has a record breaking loop. Third, the coaster has a staggering climb and drop of 17 stories with speeds up to 65 miles an hour.. Fourth, the ride is totally customizable to the rider – riders will be able to program their own music on the coaster and edit a video of their ride once they disembark to take home.

The ride will be an intense sensory experience with color changing LED/s and high energy visual displays.

Clearly, as the new roller coaster in Universal Studios Orlando, The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Roller Coaster will be the rollercoaster ride for 2009-2010 in Orlando.

See our new rollercoaster Universal Studios Orlando video preview below as well as a map of Universal Studios Orlando.

Some bikers stay in Orlando during Biketoberfest and ride over to Daytona during the day (about 50 minutes if the traffic is good) as this makes for a good ride. Staying in Orlando allows some to visit the major attractions while in the area. In addition, if you rent an Orlando vacation home you can get a house with a private garage and keep your bike protected away from prying eyes at night.
