Monstropolis would be incredible. Would be such a compelling area.
They will probably just retheme it though down the road.

I want to see Wakanda here. A re-theme of RNRC into the MagLev train would make some sense.

And they already have another Pixar attraction nearby. Could be the start of WDW's Pixar Pier/Land.
If we're thinking it's possible, the powers-that-be have got to be thinking about it.

I would rather they keep RSR at Cali Adventure. Not everything needs to be on both coasts
A bigger modified Pixar Pier would fit in well at DHS imo. I offers a place for Pixar, a pillar of the Disney studios. And a large body of water, something that DHS lacks, as well as a massive new 1 off eticket water based flume ride, something dhs also doesnt have. Something nemo, crush, dory based.

Actually, they are turning it into Rodrigo Roller Coaster Starring: Olivia. The new name saves money since 80% of the letters stay.

Call it what you will but after reading about Steven Tyler has done, I feel icky that it’s in the parks.
Even if adopting and impregnating a 16 year old when you were 25 was just “the times” it’s still icky. Not to mention the band is old news.

As much as I love the music (whenever I hear Dream On, it transports me to an early morning in MGM about 15 years ago walking towards the line), this attraction does need to be, and probably will be, rethemed. Disney doesn't want this image, nor should they.

some things at Disney are timeless.......this ride just feels dated and dusty. it wouldn't even cost much to redo the que and add some new props inside to make it feel relevant and fresh.

this feels dated…but so does Space Mountain, The Speedway, Peter Pan, Beauty and the Beast, etc…
there are many other things I think that need a change before Rock N Roller Coaster.

Blink, blink. Breathe, breathe. Day in, day out.
I'd argue that Rock N Roller Coaster needs to change before those other attractions do... Not just for the controversy that has come up, but also because Aerosmith has no giant impact on Disney or the parks, in comparison.
Retro for Space Mountain works. Speedway is a children's attraction, can't argue with that. Peter Pan is an opening attraction, hence, it gets invincibility points... And even Beauty & the Beast makes more sense to stick around due to its continued popularity as a show and IP (even if its not great).
Rock N' Roller Coaster could literally be re-themed to ANYthing, and it would not lose a single visitor... Because that's how roller coasters/thrill rides work. The thrill rides will always have the longest wait times.. So yea, time to replace RnRC with something more "timeless." More "Disney," if you will.

Aerosmith is a rock band...that first made it big in the late 1970s. Is there a single human in the US that was shocked by the story that came out about Steven Tyler?I'd argue that Rock N Roller Coaster needs to change before those other attractions do... Not just for the controversy that has come up, but also because Aerosmith has no giant impact on Disney or the parks, in comparison.

Just go ahead and retheme it to one of the many fictional Disney rock bands. My preference would be "love Handel" from Phineas and Ferb.
