Photos and videos of Justin Bieber's concert in Celebration

dsc08081

Radio Disney held a concert in the town of Celebration last Saturday as part of the nightly holiday Now Snowing event. The headliner was 15-year-old Justin Bieber.

dsc08074
The corner of Front Street and Market Street was jammed with fans – mostly preteen and teen girls. Whenever someone on stage mentioned Justin’s name, I bet you could hear the screaming from Disney World. Many of the girls had been waiting on the street since early Saturday morning.

dsc08063
The Radio Disney event started at 6 p.m. with one of the radio personalities on stage doing various dances with the crowd. Next up was a performance by Jasmin. She’s the 2009 N.B.T. (Next Big Thing) winner, chosen by Radio Disney fans.

dsc08107
After much more delay than the crowd wanted, Justin Bieber finally took the stage.

I was able to record a couple of his songs. Please forgive the shakiness. As I said, the fans were really packed into the streets and cameras and signs were going up all over.

Hidden songs confirmed on Rip Ride Rockit coaster

dsc02020

dsc02010The newly open Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit roller coaster at Universal Studios lets riders choose from 30 different songs to listen to during the ride. (Click here for the full list.) But there have been rumors online of up to 999 songs available by following specific unlisted instructions.

Yesterday we interviewed Louis Alfieri, the ride’s creative director, for an article in our upcoming Fall 2009 issue. When asked about the hidden tracks, he replied, with a big smile, “Rockit has the ability to offer layers of discovery that no other coaster has before.”

So with that answer, we had to try to access the hidden tracks ourselves, and it works! Here’s how to access the hidden tracks. But keep in mind that the hidden songs aren’t available for an on-ride video.

When you sit down, instead of selecting the songs listed, hold your finger on the Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit logo at the top of the screen for about five to 10 seconds. When you lift your finger, a number keypad should appear on the screen. Enter any three digit number from 001 to 999 and touch enter. You’ll hear a click but no confirmation screen will come up. (At least it didn’t for me.)
EDIT: It appears there aren’t 999 songs to choose from. If you enter a three digit number that doesn’t contain a bonus song, you’ll get the default song, Busy Child by The Crystal Method. Bryan reported below in the comments that the bonus tracks seem to be between these numbers: 101-132, 301-312, 501-508, 701-718, 901-904

Now all we need to do is figure out what numbers correspond to which songs. These haven’t been confirmed, but here’s what’s been reported so far:
