40 Disney Attractions: 23

oh hi there

"Make it a stretch...In fact, make it a super stretch"




23. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster


Okay, so I mean, it's Rock n Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. But I literally cannot imagine there is a person on this planet that gives two cares about these grody old dudes who haven't been popular since Armageddon.

The gist of the ride is you're taking a tour of a record company and, just as Aerosmith is gonna treat you to a sneak peek recording, their manager tells them "Yo, Aerosmith, you're about to be late to your concert." To make up for missing out on their stupid garbage performance no one cares about, they give you free backstage passes AND a limo ride. You exit the studio into an alley with a 24 seater rolly coaster limo.

It's at that point the actual cool thing begins. You shoot out from 0 to 57 mpg in 3 seconds with Aerosmith songs specifically rewritten to be about roller coasters and sung by the band hitting corkscrews and stuff. You literally hit more gs than when an astronaut does at a space shuttle launch. It's insane.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is interesting in that it's definitely a more hardcore roller coaster with crazy speed and loops, but unlike most hardcore coasters, it's not as clunky of a ride. It's a smoother ride.
