Found this via Screamscape, if you go to the HRRR's manufacturer's site, http://www.maurer-soehne.com/amusement_rides/ you can click on a link to launch a PDF describing their new Multimedia X-Seat which is probably the one that will be used on HRRR

This sounds sexy, I want it now.

And all the naysayers, you know, just like the Simpsons, you'll all end up loving it when it starts nearing completion.

I'm a naysayer, but I'm excited!

We have the Press Release (and a picture of the X-Seat) that Upov was talking about on our Rockit page.

I'm a naysayer, but I'm excited!

I think the general consensus is that everyone is super hyped about the ride, its just the premise that turns everyone sour. Like everyone is saying, maybe when we start to see construction we can get a better idea of what's coming our way. We should start seeing construction after Mardi Gras.

The X-Seat looks pretty cool. However, it will take me more than a chance to create my own video to get me on that ride.

I noticed something about this ride it looks similar to a Fighter coaster with the lift hill. Mystery Mine at Dollywood has a similar lift hill it is a straight climb up it is a strange feeling.

If you fear heights and it is the straight lift system you will freak out.

The seats i am interested to see how they are designed, very neat from the picture.

Wow, I've missed alot. The whole concept of the ride is definitely interesting.

I hope that it doesn't really mess with the scenery of both Production Central and CityWalk, moreso CityWalk. The more and more moves Universal makes it seems like the less Disney makes. It's very interesting that they don't even seem to be retaliating. And don't say American Idol. That's a joke.

Intriguing concept. I personally like the idea of a new coaster at Universal. The the theme is mediocre and I'm not too fond of the possibility of changes the coaster might have on HHN (not for the better)...

i am hoping that since the ride is kicking right out onto city walk...that it will not be a huge deal. if it was going to fly though the sound stages...i really think universal staff would have some say about that. they know hhn is a huge money maker...year after year...

if anything it may help hhn by giving people another e-ticket ride in the park.

I heard that the ride will be accessible from city walk once the park closes for pay rides.

I wouldn't put it past Universal to do whatever it takes to make more cash off the ride... Especially when the cost to create the attraction is very high.

coaster are awesome I love them a lot but theming is the way to go and I think it would kill the park. Theme is what separates the real word outside from what you really want and that is a fantasy world while you are in the parks.

 

[allienoves]

I'm still imagining exactly where it's gonna be?

I think the ride may help HHN, but the crowds are so huge there that I dont know if it will be a noticeable diference, but anything to shorten the lines is a good thing. :happy:

 

[RandomHero]

im dying to see them start construction on this already... i feel this is gonna be a great addtion to universal

 

[biomegaceu]

When is construction supposed to start?

 

[Jakemeister]

When is construction supposed to start?

It'll be after Mardi Gras probably May.

 

[The_Bled]

Yeah it will definately be in Production Central If its going beetween Jimmy and Blue Man.

 

[allienoves]

Can't wait to see the construction go on there. That'll be a mess and half.

what was funny was yesterday I was inline for Jimmy and looked to the left I thought I saw a fence around The area for the ride but lol it was a food stand in the line.
