Honestly hope it's Taylor Swift just to watch people people seethe.

But in all seriousness, it needs someone new. Aerosmith is not only well past their prime, but the continuous legal issues Steven Tyler is facing is not a good look for a park like Disney. It's best they not be there.
I am personally a big fan of anything that would upset chronically online Disney fans. Come to think of it, I'd be down for like. RNRC starring the cows from Home on the Range. THAT would be funny.

"continuous legal issues"? Care to cite recent references? The most recent lawsuit against him has already been dismissed. The other from 2023 has been reduced. Citing lawsuits stemming from behavior 50 years ago isn't exactly solid ground. If Disney has issues, they would have rethemed the ride a decade or more ago.

The long and short of it is you don't like Aerosmith and there isn't a single damn band who can be put in that won't be a downgrade. The lines for "Pop N Roller Coaster featuring Taylor Swift" would be short.

I am not thinking the lines would be short...the lines for it's current iteration are always long....and her fans would definitely want to ride it... I don't think it would attract more visitors to WDW though...as it would just be a re-skin of an existing ride. And let's face it, the park needs more attractions, not re-skins....

Half the reason many ride is for the music. Take that out and you will lose riders. How many is arguable, but I have little desire to have Swift songs in my ears, no matter how much I like the coaster. It’s the sum of its parts for me, and the music is a big piece of that pie.

I still vote for Orlando local band:

In fact, they can do a Halloween overlay where they go all Five Nights at Freddy's in the pre show area and you launch off to escape them, keeping the coaster seasonally relevant.

I COMPLETELY disagree... People are primarily attracted to it because it is a roller coaster.... While people like the music, and I like the music, I don't think that people go on it only because it is Aerosmith... The music and band are really only a small part of the overall attraction....and let's face it, People would love this ride even if it was Rock N RollerCoaster featuring The Captain and Tennille.. The Band representation is not important... A coaster in a park with no rollercoasters (at the time it was built) will always be extremely popular... It's a great ride...

Respectfully, I don't think you really understood what I wrote originally.

I wrote about this in another thread, but considering the discussion here...

RnRC was built during a "budget cutting" era, and it shows. Everything works great until you enter the "alley," at which point you move from something that feels real to an obvious "this is a roller coaster train pretending to be a car" without much room for suspension of disbelief - which might work fine at an amusement park, but less so in a theme park.* And then, of course, the gravity building's theming is nothing but cartoon-style, two-dimensional "cutouts" - something that you would expect to see at an amusement park, not a Disney theme park.

I'm usually opposed to re-themes, but in this case, it could make this a much more compelling experience. My only concern is their doing something that messes up the aesthetics of the area in front of ToT (the current RnRC mercifully doesn't call attention to itself from ToT, instead being set back and having an appropriately-styled entrance archway).

*There are exceptions to the need for more "believability" when it's a fantasy-style attraction (e.g., classic Fantasyland rides and Space Mountain), but RNR "takes itself seriously" in the setup and then fails to deliver on that.
