I’ve heard they removed the song dude looks like a lady from the coaster. I’ve only heard it from one person and not anywhere else. I assume it to not be true.

Has anyone heard of this was the case? Always thought this song worked really well on the coaster.

The same person also reported a smoother ride.

Has anyone at the parks actually seen it running today? According to the Disney website, it's still open and has no official reopen date.

Steven Tyler looks about 45 on RnRC so I want his skincare regimen.

When we were at MGM in 2007, we rode RnR then we could hardly exit the building through the gift shop. Many guests were lined up in the narrow exit hallway and the shop was full of guests. The CM advised Steven Tyler and his lady friend were soon to be finished with their ride and soon to be entering the gift shop. We saw them both looking at some T shirts, many were cheering some screaming and Steven took it all in smiling throughout. He was certainly high on life.

This was confirmed by multiple Cast Members on the ride, as well as through my own ridership. They only retained 4 soundtracks.

Sweet Emotion is most likely the other missing track, seen as the lyric “standing in the front, just a-shakin’ your ____” was never censored on the ride. That was one of my favorite trivia bits for the better part of a decade and a half. Sad to see it go.

Oh dang, I loved riding this to "Dude Looks Like a Lady." That was my favorite one!

I rode it the other day and it felt much smoother than I remember. I used to actually kind of avoid it because my neck always felt sore but this last time I rode it with no issues (I was in the middle so not sure if it was that)

News, though not sure if this will have any affect on the ride moving forward:

About 1.5-2 years ago it got really bad to the point I would skip it. They then fixed the wheels (due to a supply chain issue) and the coaster got back to being very smooth and enjoyable with little to no headbanging.

Mind you, I wear glasses, so my ear hitting the side of the restraint was very uncomfortable. Thankfully, that issue was mostly resolved when they fixed it all up.
