Rock n Roll Museum at WDW?

[Loucifr]

Saw thias article on CNN.com this morning. Read the last setence of the third paragraph. Any one ever heard this rumor? VERY interesting.

Elvis Presley piano sells
MEMPHIS, Tennessee (AP) -- A white Knabe grand piano once owned by Elvis Presley sold this week for $685,000.

Memphis guitarist-music producer Robert A. Johnson and partner Larry Moss sold the piano Monday to Michael Muzio, chairman of Blue Moon Group Inc.

Muzio said he hopes to put the piano on a casino-sponsored promotional tour and then use it for an exhibit at a proposed rock museum in Walt Disney World.

He also acquired Johnson's Memphis Music label and several other pieces of rock memorabilia, including a Presley guitar. Muzio said he paid a total of $1.3 million for the properties.

Presley's friend George Klein said Elvis enjoyed playing the piano at his Graceland mansion.

Graceland memorabilia consultant John Heath said Presley purchased the piano after he bought Graceland and used it until 1969, when his wife, Priscilla Presley, gave him a new Steinway grand piano.

This is the first time I've heard of this, but it sounds like something that would fit in by the Rock 'n' Rollercoaster -- though it would have to be a rock museum that's, forgive the pun, G-rated. How much fun is that? :hurl:

Hmm...

This is the first time I've heard anything at all regarding something like this...

:brick:

Hey!
Wow! that was the first time I heard anything like that but I think the last thing Disney needs is a museum inside one of there theme parks. Disney is a museum in it self. I mean, seriously; it is. I mean I love the coaster and I have an awsome website about it too so it is nothing against that? I just don't like the museum idea at all no matter if it was only for a while?

What if the museum they are referring to is actually the queue to RnRC that winds through G-Force Records? Like at the GMR, they have old props from old movies, so at RnRC they can have old instruments and other music - related paraphanalia all throughout the queue?

But then again, this museum is proposed - it already isn't created, like the queue... Oh well...

:lol:

Nope, I believe it's still the same stuff since it opened.

Hi everyone! :wave:

It's the same stuff that was there I believe. I didn't notice anything new in the preshow area. I didn't pay any attention to the queue area because I was there early with virtually walk-on times.

It's a great rollercoaster. They have several posters in the queue line from bands and their concerts. It's a great collection of rock and roll memorabilia.

Not sure if this is related, but there is a new Hard Rock Music Museum opening on I Drive (front of Mercado...used to be a Guiness world records attraction). Wonder if he was meaning this museum which is NEAR Walt Disney World.
