Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, which opened in 2008, was designed by the German manufacturer Maurer Söhne and is known for its vertical lift and allowing guests to choose their music while riding.
Rumors suggest a new coaster will be replacing Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, but nothing has been confirmed by Universal at this time.
