I imagine that has little to do with theme park rights. & even if it does, Disney probably has the contract until some specific date.
I'm glad they did something new. Cosmic is so much more fun than RnRRC. I would've been disappointed with a simple retheme while the track remains the same.
Edit: I totally wasn't paying attention to the dates. Didn't realize these posts were a year old.

I have to say, after riding RnRC twice this week, I noticed all of the show lights are working again. The 3d model buildings and painted city-scape are finally visible and in blacklight again, the stars on the curtain by brake run 1 are back, and the audio cues for the honks when you go over the launch work again.

I'll throw my dream re-theme out again.
Rock n' Rollercoaster featuring Powerline:
Re-theme the queue to Goofy's house. Throughout the queue we see Goofy getting into mishaps while accidently avoiding max who is chasing him around trying to get his attention.
Preshow room: Max finally catches up with Goofy and tells him their friend powerline sent a limo and wants them to come to the concert
Alley: Rethemed to goofy's back yard
Repaint the ride vehicles to be more cartoon like
Ride experience pretty similar, but different end show. Randomly get Eye2Eye or Standout
Connect the whole ride all the way back to MMRR with a new toontown.

While I love the idea of Powerline music, my concern is that a 48” height requirement is too high for a Goofy coaster. Even Goofy’s Sky School at 42” is pushing it.

Incredicoaster at DCA is 48"...

Yeah, and that’s a mistake although an argument could be made that The Incredibles audience is older than Goofy’s.
incredicoaster (name adn theming withstanding) is a great classic wooden syled coaster imo, 1 of my faves in any disneypark. I know its not themed beyond a midway coaster and isnt nearly as technicaly impressive as some of the others but I think its got a great launch on the water, another chain lift halfway through, a simple loop....i think its a very solid ride

Lets be honest... If anyone has ridden RnRC lately, you know it is beyond rough. It's almost unbearably painful and has lasted quite a while in terms of Vekoma service life. I think it's just time to let it ride into the sunset.
If you want a more adult Disney-owned IP for RnRC retheme because of its height constraints, there's always Rocky Horror Picture Show.
It didn't feel rough at all to me last month.

Weird actually, came out shocked about 2 weeks ago when my head didn't bash as it did about 2 months ago.
Agreed. My wife, who usually only rides once due to the head bashing, rode multiple times during our trip, and no comments from her about the roughness as would normally be the case.

I'm speaking in direct comparison to newer experiences in the industry like Cosmic Rewind, Hagrid's MCMBA or Velocicoaster. RnRC did definitely get somewhat smoother, but it still feels jarring in comparison to other coasters in the industry.

They take much better care of our RnRC than Paris did. I was shocked at how painful Flight Force was and the ride had been closed for awhile to change it over.

I rode it in September & I was fine tbh; it was smoother than I remember it being.
On the opposite side of things, I rode Hulk last week for the first time in a while AND that is a rough coaster now. I had fun, but man my ears were sore from the head bashing lol. That coaster is showing its age especially since its right across the lake from Velocicoaster.
