The Holywood Rip Ride Rocket roller coaster at Universal Studios Florida, Orlando, Florida

By the way the trains for Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket are appropriately "blinged out" for Hollywod with LED lights and on board music.

 Unfortunately my car was playing some really horrible club music that detracted from the ride.  Dear Universal if you need some music with a beat please add "Bizarre Love Triangle" by New Order to the playlist or some Information Society.

You might ask why so many photos of the non-inverting loop?  Well that is one of the few parts of Hollywood Rip Ride Rocket that I have anything good to say about.

You see the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit is blocked to have seven trains running at one time along just 3,800 feet of track.

If you look at the ride's page on the Roller Coaster Data Base it lists the rides elements as "Vertical Chain Lift Hill, Non-Inverting Loop, Block Brake, Block Brake, Block Brake, Block Brake".  There are four block brakes not including the trims down the first drop.  You could call Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit "Brake:  The Ride"
