I just wonder what the crossover of people who know/like Aerosmith with those young enough to enjoy "big" rollercoasters is these days.

Big enough to always be high in demand. I’m 51, love Aerosmith and big coasters, my 20/22 yr old kids love it too, probably more coaster than Aerosmith. nobody is riding Velocicoaster BECAUSE it’s about dinosaurs.
However people do get drawn to the park because they have a rollercoaster about dinosaurs.

Why are we doing this if everyone loved it and turning it into a muppets thing when we already have one

I don't think that making it a Muppets overlay is really going to change anything about the ride experience. It's the same ride everyone loved this whole time, just with Muppets rather than Aerosmith. Was anyone really getting on RnRC just for Aerosmith?

What do you mean? I was on a tour of the music studio and they dragged us to their show... backstage passes too!
Also this is now a version of them where Steven Tyler's Larynx isn't damaged and they didn't retire last year..... Seems like a good time to drop what doesn't exist anymore...

It's interesting that all of the tie in with them was due to the success of Bruckheimer's Armageddon film and their song "Don't Want To Miss a Thing" since it loudly played in the exit hall when you left the store..

I think they are doing it for two reasons:
1, They don't want to pay Aerosmith anymore.
2. Since they are destroying Muppets 3D they wanted to do something for the fans and make this Muppets.
