Overview
- New photos show the coaster’s signature loop being cut as large sections of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit are dismantled.
- Aerial imagery from @bioreconstruct captures cranes, excavation, and rebar for foundations and coaster support footers across the former ride footprint.
- Demolition has extended through the station and queue, with the elevated loading platform removed and widespread track takedown underway.
- The ride closed permanently on August 18, 2025, and Universal has not confirmed a successor for the front‑of‑park site.
- Permits from late 2024 and March 2025 point to major new construction, possibly a two‑story structure, while rumors of an Intamin‑designed coaster and 2027 timing remain unconfirmed, with some coverage referring to the project as “Project 830.”
