DHS RnRc Retheme?
- Thread starter rle4lunch
- Start date
I think that works because the coaster is right there in the open. The family, including the kids, can see that it’s a big, fast, looping coaster. RnRC is in a show building and guests don’t necessarily know that it’s a big thrilling ride.

I think RNRC: Taylor's Version would be a crazy moneymaker.

Would probably finance a good amount of E-tickets alone lol

It would be an insane revenue stream. If it was randomized with songs from each of her eras? Exclusive merchandise? I can already see the $$$$$$ flowing in.
Let me tell you all.
I do not like roller coasters. I do not use Lightning Lane.
But I would empty my bank account for this

Take my money Disney! Please!Let me tell you all.

All joking aside, even if Disney was interested, I'm sure that Taylor would have specific requests for how this was executed and she'd probably want something less tacky than RnRC as is.
PLEASE!!!!

What are the odds that they can't think of anything to retheme it to, so they just tear out the whole ride? I'm not saying they SHOULD do that, but WOULD Iger's Disney do that?
im curious as well, the ride is like 30ish years old right, and all coasters have a lifespan.... If they used the RNRC plot along with animation courtyard and lightning mcqueen area for something spectacular i wouldnt mind

I highly doubt that the reason they would opt to tear down RnRC would be, "we couldn't think of a retheme." It's more likely something along the lines of, "the feasible options for a retheme were less appealing to the company than a different attraction."
If they want to go cheap and keep the music premise then its easy to swap Aerosmith with any band or artist. My thought process is that they would NOT want to go that route purely because licensing a musician's or band's likeness is more effort and less brand synergy than retheming it to an existing Disney IP. Not saying that's what I would prefer, but that seems more in line with the company's mindset nowadays. That's why the Electric Mayhem rumors seemed so convincing to me, it's an intersection of the music premise with a brand Disney wants to promote.
Give me pretty much any pre-existing Disney IP and an afternoon and I (or probably anyone in WDI for that matter) could come up with a half-decent pitch for an RnRC retheme. A coaster in a big black box is a versatile thing.

This is pretty much why Guardians ended up being pitched to go to RnRC before Paris sent that idea off the deep end, iirc.

You enter the area walking under a segment of track with the coaster mounted upside down.
It's quite obvious the ride is radical by Disney standards.
Add to that, the Rock and Roll element, and one would have to be pretty clueless not to have a good idea of the intensity of the ride.

What aspect of her music warrants a launch, loop, and barrel roll?
Slinky Dog is more her speed.

I'm not familiar with her music other than big hits, but can understand the thematic criticism. However, I try not to underestimate Taylor Swift as she just keeps on winning.
Remember also that we have an example of the same coaster playing "Conga" and "Everybody Wants to Rule the World" without issue. Also the concept of RNRC currently is a super stretch limo that does a loop and a barrel roll.
If I want to poke fun, I'd say that her private jet has broken down and we are now riding in a fighter jet on the way to the stadium.

Merchandise opportunities warrant a retheme lol
I'm not a fan of her music, but you'd have to imagine someone at Disney has pitched the idea and all they had to do was show off how much merch they can sell, who cares about the ride experience itself lol

Out of her very large catalogue I’m sure they could find something to fit, they could also remix almost any of her songs to fit the vibe.
This is most likely never going to happen but I wouldn’t be surprised if someone from Disney has already pitched this.
