Looks like we will be in luck for our trip! I love the lights. . .too bad the park will be closing early when we will be there. I'll bet it's lots of fun at night.

Universal's Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit!

While visiting Universal Studios, be sure to take a ride on Universal's new coaster. Now open, it's an incredible ride with a vertical lift up 17 stories and a maximum speed of 65 mph. The best part? You get to program the music that you want to listen to - there are selections from country to hip-hop!

I got an e-mail from Universal Orlando today:

Quote:
