Rockin roller coaster retheme to Jimmy Buffet confirmed

Thank god this is false.

Thank god this is false.

You okay? Let me guess. You blew out your flip flop, stepped on a pop top, cut your heel, had to cruise on back home?

 

[bcoachable]

No they don't.
There is nothing remotely exciting about any of that to fit the launch and inversion.
The Beach Boys are an even more dreadful snorefest.

Obviously you have never been to a parrot head/ Buffett weekend “get together”

Better known as the geriatric Bonnaroo

 

[Animaniac93-98]

Not by then. I’d guess it returns when MK is decorated with pumpkins.

April? That soon?

The coaster is not getting rethemed unless it was one of the lesser Marvel Properties, and that is likely not worth the headache.

The coaster gets lines as it is. Any Marvel allowed they would just cheaply overlay and sell more merch like Paris just did, but less.

By the time anything else would happen the coaster will be changed to generic version or something else in the show building.


Now as for my dream blue sky input hat on: I would think Spinal Tap would be funny. The Hollywood that never was and always will be with the world's most infamous band that never was but sums up the idea of the biz. There is even a sequel to the Mockumentary in the works.

Nope. Just think Jimmy Buffett is completely overrated.


But I did get your reference.

That would be way cool! But Jimmy Buffett hates Disney

Good reason he parked his plane up at Universal then

I bet for the right “IP rights price” he’d whistle “some day my prince will come”. That said- this was supposed to be a joke… I would never see this re-theme happening…

I am pretty sure there is so much more to this story than we are reading in the news. She was 17 pretty much raising herself so she was hardly a child. Her neglectful parents are as equally to blame so I hope she is suing them as well. My best guess is they were hoping for an Elvis/Priscilla love story .It was the 70's this honestly wasn't seen as abuse or grooming like it is today. I am not condoning a 25 year old man having sex with a 17 year old just reminding everyone how common that was during that decade.

In his own (ghostwritten?) words:

She was 16, she knew how to nasty … with my bad self being twenty-six and she barely old enough to drive and sexy as hell, I just fell madly in love with her… She was my heart’s desire, my partner in crimes of passion… I was so in love I almost took a teen bride. I went and slept at her parents’ house for a couple of nights and her parents fell in love with me, signed papers over for me to have custody, so I wouldn’t get arrested if I took her out of state. I took her on tour with me.​

Fins, Pascagoula Run, Brown Eyed Girl cover, Cheeseburger in Paradise. All got fast enough tempos to fit the coaster.

FTFY

Yeah, I'll be honest, I don't even know who comes off as grosser...Steven Tyler or the girls parents. gross all around.

I knew it was a joke, but since I am a Parrothead too, I still think this is a great idea.

The difference is that the girl’s parents aren’t the theme of a Disney roller coaster.

Disney's taking a pretty loose view on lots of things as of late.
Why not a rock star who at age 25 was with a 16 year old half a century ago?

 

[EricsBiscuit]

As much as I think his actions are terrible (very sad and gross), I don’t think they should retheme the ride over it.

What about when the members of the band start dying off?

Just switch to The Rolling Stones. They're immortal.
