Demolition of the top of the tower of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit.
Comparison of today and yesterday of the top of Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit. Fire spread this morning through the lift's chain run. Some of the center of the track today might be soot from the fire, but it was dark before. Stained for years, from lubrication of the chain.

Could be there's an opportunity to time travel at Universal near the #HHN soundstage houses. It's unlikely these restrooms have been updated since 1990. Stepping into them is perhaps stepping back in time. The theming is not fancy or notable. Just likely unchanged.
