Rip Ride Hollywood Rockit song music list, top song played

Rip ride rockit hollywood music song list

Well it’s been a good summer for the new Rip Ride Hollywood Rockit roller coaster over at Universal Studios. I’ve been on it several times and it’s a lot of fun. I’ve had several people ask me what the music song play list is on it.

I think the rip ride rockit music play list is a nice mix for young and old alike. I’ve also been told there is a hidden soundtrack you can find by holding the top key down for 10 seconds. Then you type in a code, but I don’t know what it is.

Anyway the main music soundtrack for rip ride rockit roller coaster is pretty good, and you don’t have much time to pick one. So I’d just stick to the songs you can find in the main soundtrack.

Waist bags or fanny hip packs to carry stuff in for theme park rides

July 22, 2010 by

hip packs to carry your stuff in on theme park rides

One of the biggest problems people face when they go to a theme park is where to put their stuff when they go on a ride? Almost all rides at theme parks today do not allow you to hold or bring anything with you.

That includes purses, bottles and camera bags around your neck or shoulder. Anything that moves around will not be allowed on. It does not matter if you insist that you can hold onto it, ride operators have rules they have to follow. And one is, nobody brings anything on a ride!

Backpacks also are not permitted on most rides because you can’t get into the seat without taking it off. If you do have bulky items like these there are lockers you can get to put your items in while your on rides.

My Review of Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride

July 16, 2010 by

Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride review

Hogswart’s Castle, home of the forbidden journey ride

Wow have I been busy at the new Wizarding world of Harry Potter park inside Universal Studios! Today I want to give you my Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride review. Yes I got to go on it and it’s a must see for Harry Potter fans.

So let’s start from the beginning. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey ride is located inside the Hogswart’s castle replica, along with most of the queue line. Just outside the big entrance way made in the side of the rock wall is test seats.

You can actually be too BIG to go on the ride, so if your a large person it’s a good idea to test those out first. The seats you sit in are a bit snug, and a one piece rigid shoulder harness comes down and locks in place over you.

What does butterbeer taste like at the Wizarding World of Harry Potter park?

July 9, 2010 by

Butterbeer cart at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

One of the most often asked questions about the new Harry Potter theme park is, what does butterbeer taste like? How is butterbeer made, and what is the recipe for butterbeer?

As every Harry Potter fan knows, butterbeer is the drink that Harry Potter and friends often drank when they went to Hogsmeade village. They never really said if it’s alcoholic or not, but since it’s called butterBEER, I always assumed it was.

When Universal Studios started planning the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter park, they knew they wanted to have butterbeer for their guest. After all what Potter fan could pass up a drink right from the Harry Potter movies!

Hogsmeade village youtube video from the wizarding world of Harry Potter

July 6, 2010 by

Well the summer is really going to be busy over at the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios. Here’s another youtube video I took. This one shows all the things and snow covered houses in Hogsmeade village.

As you can see it’s very packed with fans! You can see the big butterbeer cart in the middle of the street. Plus all the other famous shops from the Harry Potter movies.

I think I’m going to make a slide show video of Hogsmeade village too. Sometimes a clear picture is better than a moving video camera. Anyway enjoy this youtube video of Hogsmeade village at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter!

Harry Potter Hogwarts Castle youtube video

July 3, 2010 by

Here’s a new youtube video I took at The Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios. It’s a very detailed video of hogwarts castle from different angles. I used a 70X zoom lens to really get all the details and show what many can’t see.

As you can see it’s much more than just the main hall part of hogwarts school of magic. You can see other towers and sections of the castle plus the walkway bridge.

Universal Studios really put a lot of effort into getting all the details right and you can see them all in this video. The whole hogwarts castle is just a shell that houses the Harry Potter and the forbidden Journey ride.

Going to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter tomorrow!

June 27, 2010 by

Harry Potter theme park

Well if your a Harry Potter fan you know that the grand opening for The Wizarding World of Harry Potter at Universal Studios was on the 18th. No I did not go; there was NOOOOO way I was going to wait for 6 hours just to get in!

I can go there anytime, so why would I go on the most crowded day? It was a madhouse, with people fainting from heat stroke and not enough water stations around.

However, now that the crowds have returned to normal levels; which is still a lot since it’s summer, I’m going to go tomorrow! I have a nifty camcorder with a 70X zoom lens on it. So I’m going to get some very exclusive and very detailed videos of the park and of Hogwarts castle.

Butterbeer, magic wands sell great at Harry Potter park

June 18, 2010 by

Harry Potter ride inside Hogswarts Castle

With guest being let into the new Wizarding World of Harry Potter theme park at Universal Studios for the soft opening, one thing is clear. Everyone wants to buy Harry Potter merchandise!

For Harry Potter fans, owning something from the Harry Potter movies is one of their top things to do. That is looking like both a blessing and a curse for Universal.

The blessing is of course it’s great they everyone wants to buy Harry Potter merchandise. The crowds all want a sip of the frozen and non frozen butterbeer from the cart that sells it inside.

Another popular item is getting a magic wand from the Ollivander’s store. Buying a chocolate frog at Honeydukes, a candy shop is another popular stop.

In all Universal Studios has created over 600 items to be sold inside The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. They are very happy with the brisk sales of merchandise.

One of the big ticket items I was surprised to find was selling fast is in Dervish and Banges, where they sell replica flying broomsticks, a Nimbus 2001 selling for $250.00 and a Firebolt for $300.00!

The curse of all this is, already they are having problems with long lines inside these shops. Most are small and narrow, making long lines. Just think what it will be like once the normal crowds are let in!

However I’m sure they will add more shops, or add-on to some of them now that they see how popular the merchandise shops will be. Universal Studios is not going to make it hard for guest to buy their merchandise!

However they do seem to have underestimated how popular the Harry Potter merchandise shops are going to be. But, that’s what a soft opening is all about; finding and fixing problems before the grand opening, which is June 18th.

So if you want to buy Harry Potter merchandise when you go into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, go to the shops as soon as you get in, or be prepared for a long wait!

New Harry Potter ride youtube video from Universal Studios

June 7, 2010 by

For you Harry Potter fans, here’s a new youtube video of the line going into the Harry Potter and the forbidden Journey ride. Yes, they are letting in regular guest for the soft opening finally.

But only a few at a time, and only for a few hours each time. They are trying to get the bugs out of everything and see how things work with crowds in there. Some places you can already see are going to be packed.

The main ride however is getting rave reviews, so that’s a good sign. Check out the video above of Harry Potter and the forbidden Journey ride line. It’s long but if your a big fan you’ll love seeing everything.

They should be letting more and more people in until they finally open it up fully on June 18th. You can try to luck out and hang around there before the 18th to see if you can get in for one of the soft openings.
