Universal Studios Building Attendee-skimming Roller Coaster

Orlando (FL) - The Universal Studios theme park in Orlando will construct a new roller coaster that will fly a few feet over other park attendees. The Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit will also be a "choose your own adventure" of sorts by letting riders pick their music and theme.

The Rockit will span the length of the park and will include a 167-foot climb. Universal Studios says the ride will debut in January 2009. Now what's going to happen if a rider throws up?
