the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is a sit-down X-Car coaster that runs on a 3,800-foot steel track, with a maximum height of 167 feet and a top speed of 65 miles an hour. Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is Universal Orlando's tallest roller coaster. The ride begins with a 90-degree vertical lift hill that takes you up 17 stories (167 feet) above the ground. This straight-up climb tends to be what people look forward to and fear the most.
