It's so cute how enthusiastic the band was about the ride. I don't think this ride needs an update either. It's still an amazing and intense coaster even after all these years.

[@Elizabeth-lv5dj]

MK Lettis amen to that!

[@Viking_Luchador]

well, maybe the one in Paris can be updated to revolve around Daft Punk?

[@liltylenoll6955]

@@Viking_Luchador the possibility of that happening is pretty much 0 after their breakup now. That would be cool tho

[@Viking_Luchador]

@@liltylenoll6955 how many times did Aerosmith get put on hold because of Steven Tyler's addictions (or worse, his Western album)? I think if Disney offered them enough money, they'd at least agree to license their costumes and songs, and not have to do anything themselves

[@irissogrey]

@@Viking_Luchador good news! They’re updating it. Bad news: it’s an iron man coaster now.

[@KayleeCee]

"Steven Tyler and Joe Perry loved the attraction so much that they rode it 12 times before leaving." That is just so adorably wholesome, especially for a band that had a less than wholesome reputation back in their heyday.

[@Unownshipper]

I'm glad they can't replace the Rockin' Roller Coaster with a marvel ride; it's an original story, let it be. Not everything needs to be a reminder of all the intellectual properties Disney owns. Besides, I like Sunset Blvd. the way it is: a mix of Old Hollywood glamour and the intensity of the music industry. Two big rides based on movies would kill the great contrast that section's got going for it.

[@kingofrapture]

Exactly, I couldn't agree more. I also love the old Hollywood section of the park since I love studying film History. I hope it remains there for at least a few more years. I want to go back there again.

[@lanceturley7745]

[@hopekeeley3212]

I think they should update it with a new band I didn’t know who areosmith was until I went on the ride

[@Unownshipper]

@@sorcerersapprentice Oh no, I hope that's not true! That'd be a huge loss. Is it just deal to use The Twilight Zone copyright that'd expire or would the whole ride be up with? It'd be so sad if it lost any aspect of its ambiance because I think the TOT has one if not the most well-themed and cohesive story of any ride in the park. The suggestion to borrow the story from Tokyo Disney is a good one, but nothing would compare to the tried and true Tower of Terror. If Aerosmith goes, that'd be too bad, but I can see the argument. So long as its a roller coaster tied to the music industry, I'd be satisfied. I just hope they'd choose a worthy replacement. There were rumors way back when that they were going to replace Aerosmith with the Jonas Bros! What a nauseatingly shallow prospect that would've been! Besides obvious cheap self-promotion, the ride would've aged SO poorly. Glad it didn't happen that way.

Nah, they're replacing it with some small, relatively unknown band called Lil' Bomber.

[@sk8rpunkbarbie]

😂😀😆

[@hannahdarise]

Deaaadddd 😂😂

[@bitchezo]

When the band's manager asks what she's supposed to do, "Send them all with you?" The cast member operating the pre-show room has the option to call out over the intercom or otherwise a line about giving the "tour group" of guests some backstage passes. Hence why Steven Tyler looks to the crowd, and says, "I love that idea!" Cast members still sometimes do this, but it's much more rare compared to the early days of the attraction. Some extra knowledge for ya.

[@JH-lu5yg]

Huh, I think I remember that line. Makes more sense.

[@VCJunkie]

If Disney were to change the American version of “Rockin’ Roller Coaster starring: Aerosmith,” the only acceptable change, in my opinion, would be “Rockin’ Roller Coaster starring: Queen.” This could work, as Disney has had full ownership of Queens music in North America since the early 90’s. Plus, with Disney about to acquire 21st Century Fox, a Queen-centric update would allow for some easy Fox cross-promotion (just film a new pre-show with the cast from “Bohemian Rhapsody”). Honestly though, I would love to have a roller coaster with songs like “Brighton Rock,” “Seven Seas of Rye,” and “Don’t Stop Me Now.”

After the concert they wanted to ride the roller coaster Greezed Lightnin' We let them ride twice without getting off, while the other guests waited. They truly loved it. It was a 32 second ride from launch to finish. With their 2 rides only about 5-6 mins elapsed. We only had one guest complaint. Guess they were NOT a fan of the Monkees. LOL

When I was a little girl, maybe around 4 or so, my momma would ALWAYS listen to Aerosmith, and so naturally I became obsessed with their songs while growing up. When I was about 13, my parents tried convincing me to get on rock n roller coaster because it revolved around Aerosmith... I cried and begged to NOT go on 😂😂😂 Then on our next trip, when I was 14, I decided that it was time to hide the baby in me for a bit, and actually get on... Best. Decision. Ever. Now, I can’t get enough of roller coasters, I’m always looking to get on the one with the most loops and barrel rolls. Rock n roller coaster popped my roller coaster cherry, and the day Disney decides to “reimagine” this wonderful ride, will be the day a piece of my heart breaks. So many memories made while on this ride, and they link to precious memories made with my momma. She and I are always listening to Aerosmith together.

Yeah I agree with you on Aerosmith. That fact that they wanted to do more than just lend their music and actually be a part of the attraction shows that they wanted to give park goers a good time. This might sound like a dumb statement, but while they are not among my top 5 favorite musical artists, Aerosmith is without question in my top 10, not only because I like there music, but mainly it’s because of there willingness to contribute to the Rock’N’Roller Coaster.

They were conducting an unannounced "preview" of the ride as it was set to open the following week, and wanted to get the word out and also get rider's opinions on the ride. Of course we went in to give it a try as we both love roller coasters, and there was NO crowd and NO waiting. We loved the ride so much we rode it four times back-to-back before we left!

I panicked cause I thought this ride was gone from Disney and I hadn't heard.

[@EntertainmentFan11]

You technically thought right. It's no longer in Disneyland Paris.

[@x25violator]

I loved this ride! Listening to "sweet emotions" while riding was awesome.

[@Inurantchan]

This was my first and only coaster I've ever ridden with inversions. Also my first launch coaster. I am a wimp and although it turns out I love the loops/corkscrews on coasters, I am much too afraid of drops to ride them...unfortunate lol. Have an odd history with this ride. I was there opening day, my brother rode the ride with one of the band members, I watched a Brittany spears concert in front of the coaster, and I went to the Star Wars party with the overlay. The overlay was a lot of fun. Really cool how just a few sound effects can make you feel like you're on the millennium falcon. Was a blast. They had a special frame for the event as well, so we got pictures [of me screaming because even though I like the ride the liftoff is still too intense for me lol..]. Great ride. I'll be upset if it's ever replaced with some random IP....

My favorite memory of this place was that I was a little kid, waiting with my dad in the gift shop, while my mom and brother rode the ride. I found this weird Aerosmith pencil that was squiggly and rather had a weird shape, so I thought it was a bendy pencil. So I thought to be nice, and try bending it back, and what I found out, but was too late, was that it was a regular wooden pencil, so I accidentally broke it. My dad saw, and we both had that ""Oh shit!"" look on our face. I quickly hid the two broken bits within the pile of pencils, and we, or I, never got caught. Though I'm sure the pencils were dirt cheap, so it wouldn't be a big deal if we got caught.

[@radish6691]

Your favorite memory is your dad not paying for a broken pencil? You guys need to make better memories, honest ones.

[@JYAF]

@@radish6691 Imagine thinking one memory out of dozens determines whether I need to make better ones or not.

[@Zanybandz123]

If they decide to redo the ride, I would love if they choose 8 of the biggest rock bands of the 21st century and play their songs, (that is if they get the permission from the bands).

[@ZGryphon]

I appreciate the realism of the pre-show movie. "OK, OK, I'll make it happen, now get out of here. I hate all of you" is probably something rock bands hear from their real managers all the time.

[@XBBBBBXx]

the most terrifying thing about this coaster is the line for sure, you can see people getting shot into the darkness and you have no idea whats comming for you in there. another really scary thing is the sound of the launch dog clicking in place . other then that its freaking amazing

[@jakelakota3010]

I remember the first time I saw The Shocker. And I was shocked nobody else in the queue did. And every time I rode it I was looking for it. Upvote for not ignoring it in your video

[@fightingidiocy7724]

My FAVORITE coaster of all time.

[@elevatoralarmcoasterandarc1214]

I like that.

[@joeymartinez9854]

Nice video man it's pretty cool keep up the good work man

[@stuffingtonjfluffypantsiii]

My favorite roller coaster ever.

[@hannahcostanzo7488]

I was a CM at Rock'n'Roller Coaster in 2017! I worked Galactic Nights, the Star Wars audio was put on each train as the b mode/maintenance track (it replaced, of all songs, Down With The Sickness) and since it was very easy to switch tracks, literally a switch on the side of each train, for all ride at the end of the night we would turn the show lights off and ride with Star Wars.

[@Animator_Alex]

It's always a good day when there's a new Yesterworld :D

[@rtlthemusician5598]

Honestly they should have used the song “Falling in love is so hard on the knees” as their one song from Nine Lives since that song was actually somewhat successful

[@razzthelemon.4400]

I usually hate roller coasters so my friends had to drag me onto this ride. I ended up loving it so much that we went on it one more time after that.

[@QueenRosez]

It has been my DREAM to ride this ride since I was a kid. My heart dropped when I saw the video because I thought they replaced it. I'm going either this year or next year JUST to ride that ride.

[@mercurialmoose5006]

We went on the coaster for the first time a couple weeks ago, and had an absolute blast on it! Was also our first launched coaster as well. Such a great ride!

[@806rdg]

We should have got a Meatloaf themed coaster called "Paradise By the Dashboard Light" because Disney wouldn't use "Bat out of Hell".

[@josephikrakowski1137]

806rdg I mean I’m totally for that, sadly the songs have suggestive themes that Disney wouldn’t do.

[@806rdg]

@@josephikrakowski1137 Maybe it just needs it's own park. If there's a Dollywood, why not a Meatloafburg?

[@thedudewhomadethisvideo]

Yep, nothing says Disney like a song about losing your virginity, getting married to her and then hating it.

[@michealvaldros1755]

@@thedudewhomadethisvideo I mean, they put a song about fuckin' in an elevator on their ride

[@AndrewKeyz]

I could actually imagine the music straight after the launch to feature the instrumental rock band start of Anything For Love. It would be spectacular. Better than some stupid Iron Man theme to this coaster with Robert Downey Jr. yapping in your ears anyway.
