By Robert Niles: This shouldn't surprise anyone, given the wall of silence that Universal Orlando has offered all questions about when its Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/universal_studios_florida/hollywood_rip,_ride,_rockit/) roller coaster would debut, but Universal's now confirmed that it will not open this spring.
Instead, Universal's pushed the opening date back into summer, according to several sources. (Here's one (http://www.tampabay.com/news/business/retail/article994467.ece) that got its story up earlier.)
Universal folks and fans, give us your thoughts and estimates on HRRR, in the comments.
Update: Now SeaWorld is pushing *up* the opening date for Manta (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/seaworld_orlando/manta/). Look for a soft opening the first week in May. Trip reports, with photos, will be greatly appreciated, as I won't be in Orlando that week.
