The roller coaster takes guests "over" Universal Studios Orlando and lets them pick their own soundtrack.

Wow - thirty bucks for a souvenir DVD that is so annoying, you won't even watch it all the way through once. There's a bargain.

Seriously, that's one of the most irritating things I've ever seen. It doesn't convey the ride experience, footage of the rider is minimal and doesn't match the oh-so-hip-and-edgy style of the surrounding visual noise - and I don't know if there is a choice of soundtracks on the DVD, but that would most definitely not be my choice.

I still want to try this coaster, though.
