Join us as we look at the X Car coaster at Universal Studios Florida. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit had a rough construction period delaying it multiple times and changed the skyline of the park. Love it or hate it the ride offers a unique ride where you can select your own music. Oh and it introduced the world to Syd Vinyl.
To learn more about the history of the X Car coaster look up part 1 with a look at G Force.

Yesss I grew up in Orlando and we were all obsessed with it, it went very fast and just seemed to glide over the track. You got great air time and zero headbanging. I didn't ride it for last four years or so recently we went back and I was excited for my favorite coaster in Orlando but it was sooo rough and definitely didn't glide anymore. I remember back in 2010 this thing always breaking down and I totally agree about the annoying video in line lol. I really hope Universal smooths the track. It's really a beloved ride by locals and tourists alike.

I remember I watched my friends get stuck on it going up the 90 degree lift while I chickened out on it on a school field trip. But now I love that ride and HONESTLY the vertical lift hill is fucking terrifying because you feel so much pressure and just the feeling of lifting up so high 90 degrees is crazy. It’s a rough ride but man I can reride it over and over.

I've ridden on that coaster before! I found it very jerky with my head going side to side, and it was very annoying in the queue when the instructions for the ride kept on replaying in the screen without break, but I would definitely go on it again. I loved how you could pick a music track before the ride starts. I just picked at random, because I didn't recognize any, but it was good. And the ride was fun, I just wish it felt a little smoother. And it was cool going vertically up at the beginning of the ride

It's been a while since I last went to Universal, the times I was there the lines where long and the ride constantaly had temporarily "break downs" and when I did ride it, it was a fun experiance. Daft Punks Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger was made for that ride.

I was in Universal with my family the day the coaster got stuck. I remembered a couple of my cousins and my dad riding it twice that day with no issues. My parents and I left and my Aunt and cousins stayed and maybe 30mins after we left, the ride got stuck.

It's honestly a blast. Just make sure you are close to the front because at the back it feels a bit jerky. I'm terrified of heights, but because the vertical hill isn't a 90° drop, I was fine going on it

Yesss I grew up in Orlando and we were all obsessed with it, it went very fast and just seemed to glide over the track. You got great air time and zero headbanging. I didn't ride it for last four years or so recently we went back and I was excited for my favorite coaster in Orlando but it was sooo rough and definitely didn't glide anymore. I remember back in 2010 this thing always breaking down and I totally agree about the annoying video in line lol. I really hope Universal smooths the track. It's really a beloved ride by locals and tourists alike.

I think this ride is decent. No more, no less. I’ve never had a problem with it being to rough and selecting a secret song is always exciting to me. My only real problem is that the theming is kind of light compared to other Universal rides. Also, I’m not really one for exposed coaster tracks and supports in a theme park.
