By Robert Niles: With last week's news that Universal Studios Florida was pushing back the debut (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/flume/200904/1172/) of its new roller coaster, Hollywood Rip, Ride, Rockit (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/reviews/universal_studios_florida/hollywood_rip,_ride,_rockit/), I wondered how much work Universal still had to do. Well, Theme Park Insider reader Gareth H (http://www.themeparkinsider.com/community/member.cfm?bio=ukfloridafun) must have read my mind, because this afternoon he sent along these photos he snapped as he drove in to Universal.

A view from track level
(From the look of these, I'm thinking late June, early July. Anyone else want to take a guess?)
Thanks for the pics, Gareth.
