Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit Track List & Hidden Tracks

Soaring onto the scene with its high-energy maneuvers in 2009, Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit changed the skyline of Universal Studios Florida in order to balance the park’s offerings for the rush of crowds set to flood the resort for the debut of The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. Promoted as a revolutionary new roller coaster sporting daytime-visible LED lighting and an onboard audio system that would allow each rider to listen to music of their own taste.

Guests use a touchpad on the rollercoaster seat’s lap bar to choose their songs. There are currently five official songs to choose from:

• Rock – Welcome to the Black Parade by My Chemical Romance.
• Dance – Waterloo by Abba
• Country – Man! I Feel Like a Woman! by Shania Twain
• Hip Hop – Humble by Kendrick Lamar
• Electronic – Sandstorm by Darude

Quickly after opening guests discovered that the ride has a hidden songs list, allowing them to deviate from the preset set list of songs:

• Hold down the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit logo for roughly ten seconds (I recommend holding it for a few more to be safe).
• A number keypad will appear onscreen.
• Enter the hidden song’s three-digit code and press enter.

Riders must know the hidden song code they wish to activate before riding, as the window for the code entry begins as soon as they are seated and ends as soon as the ride vehicle departs the station. It should also be noted that by activating the hidden songs, riders will not be able to watch or purchase the on-ride video recorded throughout their experience.

The smartphone app Pocket Rockit used to be available for purchase for Android and iOS but appears to have been decommissioned and removed from the app stores. Because Rockit does not allow loose items like cell phones in the queue or on the ride we suggest writing down your selection or texting it to yourself if you have a smartwatch.
