NEW Look at Ride Demolition — Here’s What’s Coming Next to Universal Orlando

Universal Studios is changing big time!

The park recently closed one of its signature attractions permanently, an entire land is disappearing before our eyes, and more. As the changes come, so does construction, so we’re getting a full birds-eye view of what you can expect in the park.

Rip Ride Rockit has been closed for a little over a month at Universal Studios, and changes have arrived. Thanks to Bioreconstruct on X, we have a view from above to see exactly what construction has taken place in the month since the coaster said goodbye forever.

Quickly after the closure, Universal began removing major track pieces from the coast, but the eye-catching loop is still intact.

The area behind Race Through New York Starring Jimmy Fallon has been completely leveled and cleared to make way for the new attraction coming to the park. There are cranes as well as other heavy equipment machines located in the area.

The lift on the ride is still intact. According to bioreconstruct, a lot of the current work is happening inside the queue station.

The ride has only been closed for a month, but Universal is quickly working on dismantling the attraction. At the time of writing, Universal has yet to confirm what is replacing the coaster, but there is a lot of online discussion.

According to People, many are speculating it will be another thrill coaster.  What we do know is that Universal filed a demolition permit in December 2024. In March 2025, they filed another permit hinting that a 2-story building might replace the attraction. Some fans have speculated a Ghostbusters-themed attraction online, where others have theorized a Fast and Furious coaster similar to what’s going on at Universal Hollywood.

If Universal puts in the Fast and Furious coaster, we’re curious to see if Fast and Furious Supercharged will remain open. This attraction is commonly considered one of the park’s worst rides, so we wouldn’t be too surprised if it’s gone in the future! As always, be sure to keep following AllEars for more Universal news and updates.
