The thrill, the adrenaline, the excitement! Which 16 year old would not enjoy a day in an amusement park? On a warm summer day, walking into the theme park, the sun is in your eyes and the wind is blowing through your hair. The laughter of children is everywhere as you walk across the park in your flip flops to each you favourite roller coaster. As I walked through universal studios this summer, the rides there were mind-bogglingly thrilling. However amongst the Hulk, the Harry Potter rides, the Doom free fall tower, and the Rip Ride Rockit, I would have to say that the Rip Ride Rockit was by far the most electrifyingly fun.
The name of the ride is actually very clever. The reason why this roller coaster, in my opinion, has the best design, is because of its ability to capture the riders attention immediately. Music is often used to dictate the mood and theme of any piece or even.... RIDE. The most amazing thing about Rip Ride Rockit, is the fact that you can ROCK in it while you ride the "Rocket". Clever ain't it? As a rider, you are allowed to choose a song you like as you go through the ride. This ride was flawless in every design. They choose songs that would match the feel of the ride as well they designed it so that the coaster fit with the music. Such an impressive job, no wonder this is my favourite design for a roller coaster.
Right off the bat, if you look at the picture above, you can see a rise of 90 degrees. That rise, along with the music, sets the tone and the anticipation for a thrilling drop.
If i had a chance to go on any ride, i would love to go on this one again.
