They could do that but would have to retheme the pre-show and the loading area to match the new story. It's not just the cheap cardboard with black lights that need replacement.

No band required. Retheming it as Superstar Limo would be an improvement.

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Guns N' Roses, anyone?
Everyone has their demons including Hollywood bad boys , drug and alcohol issues , sexual assaults , jail birds , Robert Downey Jr and Johnny Depp who happened to be awarded Disney Legends.

They could say the long wait for the ride is part of the theming although it would be more authentic if they found a way to reverse the queue and have you wait a long time after arriving at the venue for the concert!

Just reading about how maintenance is now being done on the right side of ToT. Expected to last several months. DHS is going to be rough for my March trip 
Stack some LL for Toy Story Land and MMRR, see a few shows, Fantasmic and goodnight.

They still have all the signage from Cali, maybe they'll resurrect the Rocket Rods concept on the RnRC track...?

Rocket Rods would fit the theme of the area even less than Rock N Roller Coaster...it would be nice to move forward embracing that theme of 1940s Hollywood... either a Toontown/ Roger Rabbit themed coaster or The Rocketeer, or something that fits easily into the feel of the area...

I know the Goofy Movie is having a bit of a resurgence right now, but I suspect it’s nostalgic appeal has a VERY narrow age range. I’m outside the target group by only a couple years and I couldn’t care less about GM. Heck, Goof Troop is what pushed me away from the Disney Afternoon!

RDJ primarily (as far as we know) hurt himself and has been a recovery success story for a long time. That’s very different - and much more forgiveable - from powerful people who harm others.

Well, Tower was originally supposed to be Mel Brooks themed - let’s revive that aspect. Producers the Ride featuring songs from the hit musical!

Put something else in the Lightning McQueen building thats also spooky and you'll have a spookyland in DHS.
100 percent agree! Love Aerosmith and the ride but this idea makes more sense.

No part of me condones “bad boy” behavior- but isn’t that a part of the edge of this ride? I guess it comes down to how much Disney wants to risk their brand. I’d argue that getting rid of The Magical Express, and adding Genie+ has done more to damage the brand than a poor choice of a rock band member 50 years ago.

I think a quick re-theming would be easy. Make a new video for the queue that explains you're headed to Dodger Stadium to intro Elton John for his farewell tour. And just as you're loading into your limo, Susan Arnold appears on screen to let you know you are fired. And with that, you are launched into a dizzying series of events played out as John's "Saturday Night's Alright" blasts over the PA: an array of images showing your office being cleared out, your name scrubbed from properties, fans cheering in Disneyland, etc. Within 90 seconds you're unceremoniously exiting under a smiling visage of Bob Iger.

I guess I just assumed the “love in an elevator” was with a consenting adult, not a child.
