Back in December 2024, Universal Orlando filed a permit which hinted at the removal and replacement of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Almost 24 hours after the permit became public knowledge, Universal Orlando confirmed in an X post that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit would close permanently in September 2025.

In the same X post, Universal Orlando also confirmed that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit’s closure will make way for a new experience and more details “will be available at a later date.” Rumours prior and after this announcement suggested a new roller coaster will replace Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit, but that has yet to be confirmed.

Going by online speculation and the aerial photos (captured by @bioreconstruct), we can safely assume and unofficially say Universal Studios Florida will be getting a new roller coaster. Back in June 2025, Universal Orlando confirmed that Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit would close permanently on the 18^th August, 2025.

Construction walls were erected at the entrance of the roller coaster overnight, and demolition begun on the 20^th August, 2025. Demolition was completed by October 2025.
