Rip Ride Rockit Demolition Speeds Ahead at Universal Studios Florida
The sound of jackhammers and cranes has officially replaced the pounding bass of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios Florida. Since our last update, demolition has picked up major steam, with more sections of the coaster track now gone and work pushing directly into the station itself.

Walking into the park, it’s impossible to miss the sight of heavy machinery dominating the skyline. A massive crane looms over the site, joined by a large auger drill helping to break up foundations and prepare the land for whatever thrills are coming next. The colorful coaster that once cut through the Universal Studios skyline is quickly becoming a memory, with demolition crews working at a rapid pace.
So far, Universal has kept quiet on what will replace Rip Ride Rockit. However, permits filed earlier this year point to another roller coaster being built on the site. Whether it will be a high-speed launch coaster, a family-friendly adventure, or something brand-new entirely remains a mystery.

Given how quickly demolition is progressing, it seems only a matter of time before crews shift gears from tearing down to building up. The next big thrill for Universal Studios Florida is on its way, and all eyes are on this central plot of land to see what surprises the resort has in store.
