Rock N Rollercoaster had tarp on it today

Oh, you don’t like people defending themselves when you call them entitled? Noted.

No, I just want you to relax. You seem a bit high strung.

 

[Party.Of.4-NY>>>FL]

Metallica would be cool, but maybe too much for Disney? The Who would be interesting too! I like you're idea of just playing a lot of different artists!

“Nothing Else Matters” is in the new Jungle Cruise movie, so maybe it’s not too far of a stretch to think (some of) their music could someday be heard in the parks.

 

[MouseLover]

I’d prefer to keep Aerosmith. But if it has to change, how about Journey?

 

[Jadyreen1282]

Avril Lavigne sang a song for Disney's Alive in Wonderland. Let's give Avie a chance. Image the psychedelia options.

I doubt it makes sense to change to another classic band - I don't see the upside for all the work, even if another band is slightly more popular. God help us if they try to squeeze in Jonas Bros or a modern act with questionable longer term appeal - not to mention the thrill aspect of the ride lends itself to more aggressive rock music.

I say leave it b/c it's an ode to a time when there was a major rock n roll scene on the Sunset Strip. In today's HS, this qualifies as dead-on accurate theming.

I agree! (aside from being a classic rock gal at heart, it just works with the theming.)

But if it's a licensing thing, then I wouldn't be opposed to WDW inserting IP. (I'd love to see a Hiro/Beymax "flight" or something to that effect.)

The simplest and fastest way to get it up and running would be to keep it as Rock n Roller Coaster, drop Aerosmith, license a bunch of songs (think of Universal’s Rip Ride Rockit) and substitute the pre show with Mickey’s band, and be done with it.
It would still take a year and a half

 

[BrianL]

Precisely, which is why it's ridiculous to act entitled and call it embarrassing when they've been a little sluggish getting those projects done. In a perfect world, sure, there would be no pandemic, and more projects would be done, but give the company a break. Rome wasn't built in a day, and clearly neither was TRON.

TRON isn't being built, it's being programmed.

 

[HuskieJohn]

If they are doing a re-theme they have plenty of their own music related IPs. The muppets are in the park why not electric mayhem? I'm a huge goofy movie fan personally and racing to a Powerline concert would be fun!

Oh I love this!

 

[The Jackal]

Just to be clear, it's Universal Music Group that will have rights to Aerosmith. This is not the same company that owns Universal Orlando.

The issue here is whether UMC and Disney can agree to new terms. One of the major reasons Disney went with Aerosmith back in the 1990s was that Aerosmith was a lot cheaper than other A List bands. UMC might decide to play hardball, in which case it would not surprise me if Disney dumps Aerosmith.

I thought there first choice was Kiss, Kiss gave them a price, Disney said no way, they then asked The Rolling Stones and the Stones number was higher than Kiss. They were running out of time, they needed a band they asked Aerosmith and they number was very close to what Kiss number was. Disney accepted. Odds are this will be changed to Disney IP ride no more rock bands. Free IP makes Ceapek more $$$$$$$$$

Foo Fighters, and the only song needed is White Limo.

I think the Foo Fighters would be a good choice. Dave Grohl drops the f bomb constantly, so the pre-show would be something. Lol.

 

[dreamer17555]

Personally I love the idea of a Powerline concert but A Goofy Movie is my favorite

 

[AaronInWI]

With that in mind what Queen song would you like them to use for Rock N Rollercoaster? I'll go first:
"Don't Stop Me now!"

While you're sitting waiting to launch - We Will Rock You to build anticipation.
The ride needs some hard driving rock songs. I'm thinking Tie Your Mother Down, Hammer to Fall, Stone Cold Crazy. I'm in Love with My Car would be the perfect theme, but maybe not quite the right pace for the ride. They could use the "Wayne's World head banging" portion of Bohemian Rhapsody. Dragon Attack could be cool, too.

 

[Dis Dragon]

Maybe they'll retheme it to Descendants or High School Musical... there's likely 0% chance they'll retheme to an IP they don't own already.

I personally dont want them to change from aerosmith but this was the only replacement idea that actually made me think twice. DS loves Big Hero Six (as do i) and we also love Fall Out Boy.

Ok, Immortals playing while riding that coaster and having some decent effects from BH6 sounds pretty amazing.

 

[Haley R]

I’m totally onboard with the big hero 6 idea!

 

[AaronB]

A Disney bus driver told me it is going to be called "Superstar Limo Express", and they are in the process of shipping the animatronics from California out to WDW.

 

[tony67]

I'm going to miss "How about some backstage passes"....said no one ever

I had hoped to ride this last week but was closed down both times I had the chance I think it needs some work
Seemed like a lot of rides were broken down at various times - especially at MK.

They can always pull out Guardians of the Galaxy and have a variety of music.
It will probably come down to the cost though and what they can get quick and cheap
