Great idea. At least it would fit in with the movie theme of the park. And they could make a great pre-show video.
Also, I noticed that there is more than one music track for the ride as it is now. The capability is already there to vary the music. All they need now is the equipment to let the rider select which track to hear.
Aerosmith is here to stay - here's video I shot of them 11mos. ago, still got it, and I'll ride the R&R coaster any day...

however, putting Miley in there would eliminate the line as no one wants a Hannah roller coaster...then I could just walk right on...pop on my iPod...and listen to DEVO!

Ok this has been the typical RnRC changing thread. It has been proven false it is not changing. Why is it still going on?

We are still trying to decide who will replace Aerosmith in the future. :lol:

Aerosmith is old and stale? Uhm, well, for being an "old and stale" band, 10 of their albums have been certified Platinum, and they've had 23 songs hit the Top 40. Let's also not forget the various VMAs, Billboard Music Awards, and were inducted into the Hollywood Walk of Fame.
Their concerts have been selling out since the band formed in 1970, and they've been churning out hits longer than Casey Kasem has been counting down hits on the American Top 40 radio program (Kasem retired last year).
Has Hannah Montana/Miley Cyrus done that? Nope.
Will you watch Hannah Montana for years/decades afterwards? I doubt it.
Hannah Montana will go the way of the other Disney pop princesses like Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Hillary Duff, etc. All are capable of producing hit music, but it doesn't have the timeless appeal and heartfelt genius of blues/rock that Aerosmith has.
Aerosmith is perfect for this ride. In fact, I can't think of any other band from the rock era (other than the Eagles) still generating exciting music, while having a repretoire of timeless hits.
You are entitled to your opinion, but I don't think most people visiting DHS will think of Aerosmith as an "old, stale band".
I'm sure it would bring in the "$2 bill" crowd. But that's not the demographic WDW is looking to cultivate.......

Pretty sure I'm apart of this "crowd" you speak of and there's no way in hell a HM themed coaster would bring me in. Thanks though...:wave:

I see you meant something quite different by the "$2 bill" statement. I retract my previous comments...:lol:

This is probably the best idea. I mean it is more of a movie type place anyway. While they are mixing in the music business type stuff in, I'd rather DHS be a more movie oriented park. Either make it a villains ride or based on some action movie.

As long as they don't theme it to Escape from Which Mountain.
