Is Rock 'n' Roller Coaster changing its theme soon?

[Brer Oswald]

You read it above, it is old and tired and is time to be replaced........kinda like Peter Pan, MSUSA and that small world thing over in the MK

Yes because Peter Pan and Small World are IPs that nobody cares about. Sarcasm aside, these rides could easily be updated with no effects, but to be replaced completely? No, never going to happen. And if by MSUSA you are referring to Main Street, who on earth wants to see that replaced?! It's untouchable, the moment we lose that is the moment we lose the spirit of Walt Disney.

Saw this picture on twitter. What is with all of the boxes at the bottom of RnRc?

Storage is storage, every bit of square feet being utilized. I actually think that's pretty cool.

Okay, but storage for what?

Kinda seems like a safety issue to me, the track looks low to the ground. It could just be my view in the photo.

The size of the boxes, it just looks like merchandise to me...

I like the comment on Twitter...what's in the boxes? Fingers for Steven Tyler!

Even if it's not a safety issue, it just looks kind of sloppy. Sure this doesn't happen all the time, but when it does, do they really want guests looking at and snapping pics of this?

It's like having people over your house and somebody stumbling upon the room you didn't clean and threw all the junk in.

No... As far as I know it should still be Aerosmith. The website still shows it. It was when I was there.

Was there ANY music? Maybe it was just malfunctioning. Were they in the pre-show?

There was music, but none of it was Aerosmith. This was Friday night Sept. 23 during the pre-race party. They were in the pre-show.

Yeah, it is ofd. Even some black sheets would fix it.

Couldn't Disney change the theme of this coaster to match up with the rest of this area? It sticks out like a sore thumb. Live this part of DHS.

I know what you mean. It feels like they got the location right (LA record label office - drive through LA), but the time doesn't jibe (80's Sunset Strip vibe vs '30s Hollywood/LA).

Personally I'm fine with it as is though. I'm not a big Areosmtih fan but it's a fun ride and I enjoy the overall theme for what it is. If they slapped GotG over it, the soundtrack would be great but the theming would really clash.

Maybe they could make it more Jazz themed to fit the time period/theming better? They probably still wouldn't do that

If you're going to re-theme it, may as well go star wars. Going into hyperspace jump at the beginning and then just have it so that it's like you're being chased by enemy ships. Done.

No

 

[SteamboatJoe]

GotG seems like the obvious choice for RnR. I know it isn't exactly a thematic fit for Sunset Boulevard but I'd much rather see Starlord and Co. move into there as opposed to ToT or Epcot.

I think people who keep naming possible bands to replace Aerosmith are missing the point... If Disney gets rid of Aerosmith, they are going to retheme the ride to an IP. It is not because Aerosmith is "outdated" or they're mad at Steven Tyler, it would be because they want to put in Disney property into the ride to promote their own brand and stop paying royalties (if they even do already?). There is absolutely no chance Disney would retheme RocknRoller Coaster with another band.

It sticks out like a sore thumb tucked all the way back down it's own alley?

Disney could always create a new IP if they were to retheme the attraction. I know they probably won't since the last time they did this was Everest (kind of) but their park exclusive IPs usually seem to be their most successful.

Could Disney? Yes. But the mandate from corporate leadership is franchises, so the chances are pretty much non-existent.

RnRC is set in the time when Aerosmith were popular and Steven Tyler was continent, aka 1930's/40s.
