What If...? #1

This is my first episode of "What If...?," a new series of blog posts stating the possibilities of what parks could add.

Here it goes:

What if... Universal Studios Hollywood were to build a clone of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit? It seems like a suitable outdoor coaster addition to USH. HRRR is a pretty quiet coaster, so I doubt the noise will affect the film and TV production.

Where would it go up? I'm not sure where it would go up. I did come up with this possibility... reusing the old Castle Theater (being used for a temporary special effects show) for the station/queue line, and the vertical lift can be behind the Animal Actors show (which will become indoors not to disturb the animals), and the drop should go up over a service road followed by the Double Take. They can also take out Coke Soak for the first two block brakes. They can put up the treble clef out behind the Terminator building. They can put up the jump cut by the double take, and the crowd surfer can punch through the old Castle Theater building. The final half (third block brake, drop tuning, plot twist, and final brake run) can go up in between another service road and the Simpsons Ride building.

I'm just bringing this up because of the possibility of Six Flags Magic Mountain and Knott's Berry Farm adding coasters and how long USH has gone without building a coaster (and not to mention SeaWorld San Diego is rumored to build a new coaster soon). This is just speculation and will probably not happen... or probably will. Who knows? I'm just bringing some speculation.
