Rip-roaring means very and full of energy: a rip-roaring adventure, a rip-roaring party, a rip-roaring success. It is informal and a bit old-fashioned-cheerful — the kind of word a or a review might use, not a science paper. It often praises something as loud, fast, and fun. Though actually, it does not have to be violent. A comedy can be rip-roaring if it is wild and full of life. “Roaring” is the loud, rushing feel; “rip” here is probably the old informal rip that means to go fast or to do something with force.
