Just got home from Universal and put my DVD in… What a huge disappointment!!! I would have thought it would have shown me the entire journey of the ride… but no! as stated above just occasional snippets and doesnt really show the experience I had on the ride…

Don't get me wrong I loved the ride – but the DVD – PANTS!!! Next stop, Universal website to complain!

Went to universal studios april of 2010 and rode rip rock it.
The ride was awesome but the DVD is the biggest piece or crap scam ever. It shows maybe 10 seconds of actual video of you and your other rider. There rest is an animated pre-made cartoon looking video. It really was a huge dissapointment of $30.00 spent. And $15.00 to get it emailed to a friend from universal.

Ride the ride but never even consider buying a DVD unless they change it.

It was a very disappointing coaster experience for me, from the very long wait to not having enough time to pick my own music. The worst was the bone jarring ride, i had a terrible headache after this ride and the over priced ride video i bought shows just how bad the head shaking was.

Rode Rockit with my daughter last week >10 times. I can see why the reviews are all over the place. The position you sit is v. important for ride experience. We found front 2 rows gave us the best ride experience with the back being the worst for jerkiness – which she finds makes her feel sick. But she (aged 13) would say this is her fave coaster taking whole experience (music etc) into account.

This ride is good fun, and the ability to choose your own music definitely enhances it, but it's nothing too special in my view. Hulk and the Dragons both deliver a more intense ride physically. If it weren't for the music, it wouldn't rate too high in my book; the ride itself seems pretty tame.

[...] in Orlando had very different fates. SeaWorld’s Manta opened early to rave reviews while Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit opened several months late with mixed reviews. To be fair, Rockit is a one-of-a-kind ride with several [...]

I'm heading in this thing's direction later in the year, and I'm so excited to sit in the front seat as it goes through the double take. From the looks of the lift hill though, the descent angle is less steep than the ascent angle
