Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit will close August 18

Two days shy of running for 16 years, Hulk also did 16 before the retrack. Dragons did 18.

Hard not to feel exceptionally old when you see rides that you were hyped for getting torn out. But still, this one less so.

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out", as they say.

I hope with San Fran we get a proper BTTF ride like in the UK concept art, not just a weak reskin of Supercharged.

I would also hope the Lost Continent Zelda rumors are true, but the live action movie is fast approaching, but we shall see.

As far as Simpsons possibly a home for Pokemon, possibly but the rights are not as easy as rest of Nintendo.

As far as Toon Lagoon how it did not get a Dreamworks Animation retheme since 2016 is beyond me, especially considering how cool the Dreamworks areas are at the Asian parks.

RRR > six coasters at Dorney

I know this is semi tongue in cheek, but Steel Force and Talon are highly underrated. Hydra, Iron Menace, and Possessed are all medium ok, but better than RRR.

And considering what Dorney looked like pre Cedar Fair, it’s crazy to think how nice it looks now that the trees are older. Because just look at pictures from the late 80s or early 90s.

I hope at least 2 things from SFA make it there though.

I wonder if they kept the "secret" Blue Man Group track on the ride after they moved out.

They're not messing around are they ...

Removing RRR > Staring at RRR

Not at all. I wonder what their timeline looks like. Track is being staged at Epic. Everyone assumed it was for the first Epic expansion but it could just as easily be for this attraction.

It’s going to seriously disrupt HHN this year (4 houses are located behind RRR) they wouldn’t have closed the ride just before it without a plan (and maybe a goal of finishing prior to next year) besides at some point they are going to add EU to the AP and they need something to draw APs to the old campus.

Track is being staged at Epic

Thats not track thats metal fence to block the view of the water treatment plant.

Did I get that completely wrong? I could have sworn it looked like track.

Not being rude, but you got it all wrong.

There is nothing onsite at EU related to any new attraction so far.

And it would be weird to stage anything for Universal over at Epic considering they have space a lot closer for a lay down yard.

I imagine the quick work to remove RRR, aside from time is money, is to get enough of it away from the sound stages in order to not disrupt HHN queue flow. Better to have the queue run through an already removed ride than one in the process of being removed.

Also to prevent, "I can't find the entrance to HRRR".
