“Something major” coming to DHS???

Retheming RNRC to Lightning McQueen's simulator run in Cars 3 isn't a big stretch... Just saying.
I've never understood the belief that RNRC would be rethemed with another artist. They of course could, but why would they when they can add IP? And what IP could be easier to inject than Cars when the ride involves, you know, cars...

I feel like it would be weird to have a ride that actually moves forward themed to a simulator. Generally, you go the other way, where the simulator is used to simulate forward movement (à la ST/MFSR), unless it’s themed to an actual simulator (à la MS)
True, but his crash in the simulator building wasn't simulated. He took out the building

There is a reason Imagineering was "fighting" on who got to bring this to Florida and in what park...
Its ride system is amazing with incredible possibilities for other IPs.
I've said since I saw the ride through video that I'd be 100% on board with knocking down our Pirates and replacing it with Shanghai's.

I’ve always been a big fan of RnRC, but the recent additions of GotG and Tron have rendered it redundant IMO. I wouldn’t bulldoze it just for the sake of it, but if Disney wanted to go all out with a massive new land, having free access to that large chunk of space would be more valuable than shoehorning the land’s theme into the existing coaster.
I agree, but I would want Disney to build another thrill coaster (with inversions) elsewhere. It checks off a category, and fills out the resorts coaster collection.

At the risk of getting shot by everyone in this thread - given their recent major investment in her concert doc on D+ - doesn't a Taylor Swift version of RNRC maybe make the absolutely most amount of *commercial* sense in the last several years?

She is as brand safe as humanly possible as well.

I just am very hard pressed to believe WDW is interested in starting another large scale project at DHS anytime in the future, especially with DAK and a major MK one on the immediate horizon. Especially given the announcement of a Little Mermaid show re-appearing. A RNRC re-theme would give the park enough of a shot in the arm without a large scale investment to tide them over till the next development cycle.

Makes the most sense for any sort of replacement of Aerosmith.

Mind you, I'm the last person in the world who wants this to happen... but from a commercial/corporate perspective, it has to have finance managers salivating at the possibilities. Very little ROI required, just lock in a decent licensing fee.

Can you imagine the number of spirit jerseys, pins, etc., they can sell!?!?

She’s all four Beatles wrapped in one of the most beautiful women in the world that is the voice of multiple generations (all generations?) of women. She’s cracked the pop music code like few have ever done.

Why does it even have to be based on a celebrity band at all? I thought the mandate was for Disney IP... I would prefer they ditch the Rock N Roll theme altogether and do something with Muppets or Roger Rabbit, Or the Fab 5...something Disney... To me, while I have always loved this attraction, it has always felt out of place in the Hollywood that never was... mostly set in the Golden age of Hollywood, and Aerosmith concert always felt a little off-brand.
It would be nice if they take this opportunity to make it fit better within the framework of the park...and give it a more timeless theme...

I still think Muppets makes the most sense here. And I love the idea that you just license out songs for them to sing. So, Taylor Swift is huge, one of the songs they are doing is a Swift song (honestly I'd bet people would come JUST for that). Have them do an Aerosmith song as a callback, etc. You could easily switch things up every few years to get people back there, and always have the most popular bands going in it.

What if instead of retheming rnrc, they retheme tot to Aerosmith and play love in an elevator? Make that whole area an Aerosmith
With land....I'm kidding of course
