I've must have lived under a rock since I've never heard of her. Since I don't even like to ride this coaster any more since it jerks you to death, it really doesn't matter to me if they re-theme it or not.

Considering how many people "know" her, I think she has been the one living under a rock.

Disney's MGM Studios was originally about all aspects of film production. This included post-production and music. One of the original attractions was all about adding sound in editing after filming was completed. This goes along with Soundtrack scoring. The Studios also had a full production studio for Radio Disney. Plus one of the original parking lots was named Music.

Point is it really does fit in with the studio and Sunset Blvd. It certainly fits better than a retheme to Cars or Monsters Inc.

But this is not about Music in the movies...it is about a specific band... G-Force Records could be a nod to Capital Records located in LA, but that is tenuous at best. I like the attraction...always have, but there was never a real connection to the movies...just maybe to LA and the music scene.... To say it is about sound editing for movie music is a stretch...

The launch at the start of the Rockin Roller Coaster ride is the best part. To change that would ruin the ride. It's one of the reasons we go to Hollywood Studios. Taking that ride away would probably cause us to not go to Disney World anymore.

0-60mph in 2.9 seconds. Many will never ride in a Lamborghini Aventador that can launch the car in that exact time frame so RnR is another option.

G-Force records is a nod to the start of the ride. The g-forces to feel going into the first inversion. ;)

Hello everyone!

My friend is an insider who works for Walt Disney World in Florida. My friend has reported to me that imagineers have been working to retheme the Rock n Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith at Disney's Hollywood Studios for a while, as Aerosmith is no longer as popular a band with as much mass appeal as it was at the time of the rides' debut in 1999. There have been a few ideas proposed, such as retheming the ride to one of various Pixar properties such as the door vaulter scene in Monsters, Inc. or the Incredibles. Many people who work for disney are proponents of the less expensive but still rather enduring concept of keeping the ride's current unique theme as a roller coaster themed to music, but switching out the featured musical act. Such plans have been in a state of general possibility for over a decade by now, during which time several artists (such as Paramore, Ed Sheeran, Bruno Mars, and - for a brief period in 2010 - the cast of glee) have been proposed and contacted for the idea, although plans have never yet gone as far into the realm beyond the drawing board as they currently are.

Unless you have been living under a rock during the year 2021, you must be aware of ascendant pop icon Olivia Rodrigo. In a span of months, she has racked 2 Billboard Hot 100 #1 singles (the transcendent power ballad drivers license and pop-rock explosion good 4 u), which happens to be one more than Aerosmith have accrued in their decades-long career. Her debut studio album Sour, which was released on May 21, has held the highest US sales of any album in a week of this year with almost 300,000 units. Not only is her music extremely commercially successful, it is also very good (this is obviously subjective, but I like her music and so do most people I have talked to as well as critics). In genre, her music can be best described as at the center of a three way venn diagram between levitating bedroom balladry, unkempt psychadelic grunge, and uptempo pop-rock, although perhaps more instrumental to her musics success than the production is the lyrics and themes. She sings with honesty, specificity, and humor, conveying the abstract pangs of angst and heartbreak as a vivid image of the rebellion and sadness of youth.

In fact, Rodrigo has shined so brightly in the past few months it has been easy to forget the fact that she is a Disney Channel star like Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus, and Selena Gomez before her, having starred in Bizaardvark and currently starring in High School Musical: The Musical: The Series. In fact, my insider friend has reported that Disney is trying to negotiate a contract with Rodrigo to allow the licensing of her solo music (which has been released by the label Geffen Records, the same label that has worked with Aerosmith) in the ride currently known as Rock n Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith, as well as to film an all-new pre-show starring Olivia herself. The plan is for the track layout to stay roughly the same, although plans have been thrown around for the space between the ride’s loading area and launch to be extended, accommodating for a new, slow-moving dark ride scene built around Rodrigo’s deceptively gentle but extremely powerful signature track drivers license. The more intense parts of the ride will be soundtracked by higher-octane tracks by Rodrigo such as brutal, deja vu, and good 4 u.

So, what do you think of these rumors? Would you like to see Aerosmith replaced with Olivia Rodrigo? Would you be sad to see Aerosmith go?

No way! This is Rock 'N Roll Coaster! (not teen pop coaster) Either keep Aerosmith or replace with another RnR classic! AC/DC, maybe?
:cool:

She has been on two Disney Channel series, has had No.1 song on the pop charts, and was the musical guest on SNL two weeks ago.

..And yet, as you have seen, no one, at least here, had any idea who she was. Not really a good replacement for Aerosmith
on Rock n' Rollercoaster. Kind of similar to the Weekend and the Super Bowl halftime show.

The real reason why Olivia is not a good replacement for Aerosmith is that this is a completely false rumor.

They should make it based on Law and Order SVU's Olivia Benson.

That would be a hard no. Unknowingly, I guess I have been living under a rock because I have heard of this person.

If we’re just spitballing ideas here, I’d think Foo Fighters, U2, Billie Eilish, Justin Timberlake before even landing on Olivia. She had a massive hit with Driver’s License, but there needs to be some longevity there.

Let’s be honest, in today’s world where anything in the parks must be themed to Disney IP, you’re far more likely to see Aerosmith replaced with rock covers of Disney songs mixed it with cuts like the Panic! at the Disco guy’s version of Into The Unknown.

Just have a CGI Mickey show up at the G-Force studio with Ryan Seacrest to invite everyone to join him for a rockin’ magical time!
