Rip Ride Rockit Construction Photos

Here's one from Johnny Upsidedown. It's an aerial photo from a helicopter of the whole thing, this probably gives you a good idea how long this thing is. Seeing it from the ground is amazing as it is.

Wow, it looks so weird in that aerial shot. Like it's just squished in there.

If you look closely you can see how the car moves from the inside to the outside back to the inside of the loop

Thanks for the link.
It looks awesome.

Ok its offical now I'm scared.
that thing is going to be a monster

I'm going to scream my head off!

I'm going in December so there will be plenty of videos out on youtube by then.

This ride really is humongous. It's slated to have a 2:30 running time. That's about the full length of some songs.

It's all a guess right now but I think the beginning of May is going to be too early. But...you never know.

 

[Gaspode]

Ok thanks, I'll be there until 16th so I'm gonna keep all my fingers and toes crossed

I'll keep checking this thread in anticipation!

Woah! That's some ride!

Just seen the ariel view and it's looking mighty impressive. It'll be one for me to stand under and watched next May and then decide if I'm riding or not

That will be me in August! Although DH says he`s going to blindfold me and walk me to it, just so I can`t see it, panic and chicken out Me??? Chicken out???.... well probably

I really, really want to go on this, it`s that climb at the beginning that`s bothering me. I think I will be screaming in terror all the way up!!

Haha, that'll be me too!

I'm hopeful that I'll get on there though, even if I will be totally petrified! I can't chicken out, they'll all laugh at me!!

You`re right That`s what Tom keeps saying!!! I`m fine once I`ve gone on everything for the first time, but my hands are starting to sweat just thinking about it now
Hate heights, hate slow climbs, but boy do I really want to go on it

 

[Tizzy_Meliss]

Glad I'm not the only one petrified to ride this, I have to ride it, it looks to awesome to miss, but I think I may have a panic attack in line.

Considering the inversion is not really an inversion, the launch will be slowed considerably at the top this thing looks fun BUT not intense. I wouldnt worry too much about this one. Though it will be fun itll be nothin like hulk or DD!

With that said I cant wait to ride it.

I think of this about like I did a few years ago when Dollywood got Timber Tower. Everyone was ecited and it looked like it would be NUTS! STILL LOOKS INTENSE TODAY but it simply is not intense, though a fun ride. I think RRR will be kinda like that in the sense it will look very intense but not be really though it will be fun.

We can't wait til this is finished we're ready to ride!
