I can’t consider one other image within the lineup of 2024 motion pictures that’s generated as a lot buzz as Depraved. An authorized field workplace smash, the movie adaptation of the legendary Broadway musical is raking in a really constructive wave of inexperienced.
So you’ll be able to guess that Common goes to need to preserve the occasion going, even after subsequent fall’s launch of Depraved: Half Two. Which is why a brand new rumor that one in every of my favourite rides from the Common Studios Orlando trip rankings is on the chopping block has given me fairly the silver lining to speak out.
Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit Is Rumored To Be Closing In 2025…Once more
First, let’s get the alleged dangerous information out of the way in which. In response to a rumor reported by WDW Information Right this moment, Common Studios Orlando could also be calling “Lower!” on the Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit within the 12 months forward. Whereas this isn’t confirmed, let’s not overlook the latest story of how Six Flags Nice Journey’s rumored Kingda Ka closure turned out to be very true in spite of everything.
Additionally, this isn’t the primary time we’ve heard this explicit plan, as our theme park guru Dirk Libbey has shared earlier Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit closure rumors. Contemplating the onboard soundtrack was gutted not too way back, I wouldn’t be stunned if this thrill trip was heading to that huge station home within the sky.
I’m disillusioned, as there have been so many different songs I needed to make use of throughout future rides I’d deliberate out. Nevertheless, whereas I’m mourning the truth that I most likely received’t get to listen to “Experience Like The Wind” as I do exactly that on this very coaster, I wouldn’t be mad a couple of Depraved attraction to take the place of this present coaster.
Depraved’s Smash Hit Success Should Imply A Theme Park Attraction Is Being Mentioned
Even in case you’re not monitoring Depraved’s second weekend field workplace numbers, you already know that director Jon M. Chu’s first half has already struck a chord with folks. TikTok has turn out to be overrun with movies of individuals reenacting the corporate’s choreography for “What Is This Feeling?”, teases that make Depraved’s year-long intermission appear in poor health suggested, and jokes involving that second from “Widespread.”
If these aren’t the makings of a cultural second, what actually is? All the success surrounding Depraved: Half One has to have execs at Common Studios, and all of its manufacturers, desirous about the way to preserve the enjoyable in flight.
Common Studios Orlando specifically has some spots that might profit from a revamp, so there’s no scarcity of spots the place a flagship theme park attraction may very well be positioned within the park. And there’s a fairly easy selection for what second from the movie needs to be used to do the honors.
Depraved’s Defying Gravity Sequence Is The No-Brainer Alternative For A Potential Experience
“Defying Gravity” sits in a candy spot in the case of Depraved. It’s arguably the hottest variety of the present. On the similar time, it doesn’t spoil an excessive amount of from the present itself because it’s the Act I nearer. You would take heed to the track to your coronary heart’s content material and never want to fret about spoilers. With the primary half of the cinematic complete bringing that sequence to stunning life, you already know extra persons are going to need to relive that section.
There’s even a risk that if the Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit does shut, there wouldn’t must be a complete ground-up revamp. Because the automobiles for this coaster are already wired for sound, you’ll be able to simply retrofit them for regardless of the new observe requires. Naturally the outdated Hollywood theming would make for a pleasant praise to Revenge of the Mummy down the way in which.
Though I’ve to confess, this may most likely be a critically tight match for any kind of new attraction. Because it stands, the Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit has the Common Music Plaza Stage and Race By means of New York starring Jimmy Fallon each occupying spots lengthy the coaster’s route. So any kind of building would most likely must preserve these two spots in thoughts.
A Depraved Coaster Might Fill Some Different Potential Gaps At Common Studios Orlando
I’ve to deal with one other rumor as a part of my grand plan to create the Depraved: Escape the Wizard Coaster! And it’s one which I’ve seen different Common Orlando followers point out in passing. So let’s say that the Hollywood Rip Experience Rockit in some way avoids the chopping block.
That’s no drawback, as a result of if Common decides to shut The Simpsons sights as some suppose they may do, that makes means for not only a coaster, however a complete Emerald Metropolis part of Common Studios Orlando. In fact, one other backup possibility can be to lastly use the land from the defunct Worry Issue Stay present as a superb begin to creating this potential Depraved thrill coaster.
Sadly, I’ve a sense that if that is the popular possibility by the Common brass, Males in Black: Alien Assault must near make it occur. Once more, it wouldn’t be a nasty possibility, as there’d be loads of land for a brand new part themed after Common’s newest blockbuster. Additionally, I would gladly retire as a Galaxy Defender if it meant that we might get twin tracks, providing distinctive experiences for each Glinda and Elphaba’s aspect of the track.
A number of Choices To Weigh Offers Depraved Extra Time To Strengthen Its Public Picture
If we had been merely speaking about refurbishing a theater for a Depraved Stay! present medley, then the chance for Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande recording their very own trip intro video can be even higher. However as we’ve seen with different would-be franchises, public opinion can crater between the primary and second installment. Simply ask anybody who nonetheless feels burned by Ralph Breaks the Web.
This can be a case the place having an prolonged wait is definitely advantageous! 2025 goes to be busy sufficient at Common Orlando Resort, and that’s solely if you consider Common Epic Universe’s grand opening.

With older sights ready to profit from the overflow, there’s loads of time to guage the plans that greatest match the finances and area obtainable.
I’ve to remind you all as soon as once more that that is merely hypothesis, and there’s an opportunity {that a} Depraved theme park attraction won’t even occur. And even when it does, there may very well be an opportunity that the Transformers trip might discover itself closed down to interchange its pseudo-motion simulator trip construction with the very attraction I defined above.
I feel a rollercoaster is one of the best state of affairs, although, as a result of it might stay as much as one in every of my favourite strains from the very track that impressed this insanity: “Everybody deserves the prospect to fly.” In case you’re bummed that this rollercoaster isn’t any nearer to turning into a actuality, permit me to remind you that Depraved: Half Two remains to be scheduled to debut on November 21, 2025.
So you’ll be able to simply fear about that agonizing wait whereas we let the great people at Common Parks and Experiences chat over the potential of bringing the Emerald Metropolis to its Orlando vacation spot on a extra everlasting foundation. Although you’ll be able to nonetheless try Depraved: The Expertise, which is at the moment open at Common Studios Orlando and welcoming all future and returning Ozians.
