I can't say whether or not it's a failure for Universal, but for me personally Rockit is definitely a let-down. I was stoked about Rockit last year, and fully expected it to deliver -- but it just........ didn't.
And it's not even the down-time aspect for me. I mean, that is concerning, but not why I'm disappointed. Honestly, the whole attraction just feels cheesy to me. The queue line makes me want to shoot myself, and the song choices are even worse than if it were American Idol themed. The hidden track aspect is nice, but even that list pretty much sucks.
I dunno. I still love Universal, but Rockit is already forgotten with Potter on the way. I'll stick with Mummy for 1/3 the wait time....
