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

[OSUPhantom]

I disagree with the idea that anyone under 20/in their 20's doesn't know Aerosmith. Last summer I went to one of their concerts and saw many younger adults/16-20 year olds. Just because Aerosmith isn't on the Top 50 Billboard each week doesn't mean they aren't recognizable.

I am not opposed to mixing up bands for the attraction but if they are going to change it don't limit it to one band. Allow a mixture of artists to be represented. Aerosmith, Guns N Roses, Fleetwood Mac, etc. I just would hate for it to become totally taken over by younger artists to try (and fail) and appeal to a younger demographic that already is going to ride because it's a roller coaster.

If it ain't broke don't fix it. Same goes for ToT.

I was told quite a while ago that it would be GotG, and would be based around the Mixed Tape concept.

Riding the coaster to 10cc's "I'm not in love" would be somewhat surreal.

Big Hero 6 would be a good match, with the Baymax flight scenes in the teleportation portal. The booming soundtrack idea wouldn't work so well though.

How about leave the ride alone because it's just as good now as it was in 1999? Just because you can change a ride doesn't mean you should. See: Journey Into Imagination, Mr. Toad, Maelstrom, etc...

This is who should take it over....

Ask anyone under 20 who they are and I bet you get a blank face. They were great I the 90's, but timeless they are not.

They rocked in the 70's, 80's, 90's, 00's and still going strong. Rumor of a new album coming as well. Keep it as is.

 

[Jwhee]

They should take it down, that sort of attraction and that sort of musical act are not appropriate to young children. something less intense would be better and if you must have music something from one of the young Disney artists where it is inoffensive would be magical.

That's the best part of these forums - unless it's Patricia Melton.

Aerosmith is known internationally and has held up well across multiple generations. Leave it be.

 

[bethymouse]

It just needs some love and tender care. A nice refurb (again). I hope they don't change RNRC too!

You know Gene would be down for it, because he LOVES slapping the KISS brand on all manner of garbage to sell. The gift shop at the end would no doubt be his idea of Heaven.

Did you know KISS has their own line of caskets?

They even have not one, but TWO pinball machines. Neither one is that good by pinball standards, though

The Steve Miller Band tried to market a line of spice racks, but the thyme kept on slipping.

Hey they also have their own Mini Golf Course...

RUSH.

Give me some YYZ or The Trees.

The intro to YYZ would be epic as would the beginning of "One Little Victory". Talk about endless catalogue.... Foo Fighters catalogue compared to RUSH is like a leaflet on famous Jewish sports legends (Airplane! reference).

 

[Matt_Black]

Yes, but Foo Fighters are more recognizable, I feel. Certainly, if Aerosmith is "too old" for modern guests, then Rush would almost certainly be as well.

I wouldn't mind a retheme at all even though I love the ride. However, I don't think they need to change the theme of Rock n Roll, just merely drop the Aerosmith exclusivity and make it a celebration of rock in general. I think with a little creative thinking and theming, it could really be something special, timeless, and appealing to the masses.

Who is this??????
Oh wait, I didn't recognize them without Ace and Peter.

I agree. There are a lot of younger people that I work with that know exactly who Aerosmith is.

I vote for........

Must be 18+ to ride.
