One of the standout features will be a 170-foot vertical spike, sending riders nearly 17 stories into the air with views stretching toward the outskirts of Universal CityWalk.
Construction has already been underway at the former Rip Ride Rockit site, with walls visible in parts of CityWalk and Universal Studios Florida.
Universal calls the project another sign of the resort’s growth, momentum, and world-class innovation. Adding a new headliner coaster to its expanding lineup it’s just what Universal fans have been hoping for.
