Is Rip Ride Rockit ride at Universal Orlando Claustrophobic?

Question

I'm claustrophobic and hate the roller-coaster seats that come over your shoulders. I don't think this ride has seating like this, but just wanted to check and see if it is still really claustrophobic? And if someone that is also claustrophobic and has experienced this ride could comment on how they found it I would be very appreciative. Thanks.

Also, does it go upside down?!

Answer 1

The ride is not claustrophopic at all. There is a backwards loop on the ride, but it never really takes you upside down. It takes you up like a regular loop, but when you are about to go upside down, it twists you so you don't really go upside down. I attached a video of the ride on YouTube below:

Answer 2

You should be fine. Its a unique lap bar system that swings from the side to come across your stomache. The seats are also countoured to make you fit a little more snug. I am a big guy and coaster with the overhead shoulders really bother me (Still go but just not as comfortable as a lap bar). You should be fine.



The ride does NOT go upside down but its still freaky. I HATE the start where it lays you on your back going up the big tower. I hate it with a HUGE passion. The rest of it is cool. Its has loops but you are on the outside of the loop so you never really go upside down

= It's true high-tech, customizable, multi-sensory entertainment. This groundbreaking combination of audio and special effects engineering, sophisticated on- and off-board video and one-of-a-kind personalization takes you on a coaster experience unlike any other. Orlando's tallest roller coaster also features several exciting, "never been done" elements, including the world's first non-inverting loop.
