Of course RnRC won't be rethemed to Olivia Rodrigo. The person who posts it is likely to be on her PR company's payroll.

But, she isn't a one-hit wonder. She's a big deal in pop.

I feel so old. Had to go look up on Billboard 100. She is #10. Oh well. Things change.

Then again, Metallica is #27, Fleetwood Mac #19 and MJ is still #50. I could go on but . . .

If RnR was actually planned to be rethemed it would be easy to do a vague announcement and reveal the new artist, real or fictitious later to keep the hype train going on a resort that does not have a lot going for it in the near future.

With Imagineering owning the Muppets many (like myself) were hoping Dr Teeth was going to pop up at Destination D23 just to announce the transition...But, we're dissapointed on the outcome..

She may not be a one hit wonder, big deal? Maybe…when she can crash Ticketmaster like Taylor Swift did, THEN I’ll give her props.
Having worked in the music business, she just doesn’t belong in the same league as Swift and Harry Styles…she’s one of Baskin Robbins 31 flavors…and I don’t think either one of them deserve the retheme either…

And that was pitched to Disney by the show runners when the Muppets mayhem show was pitced to Disney. Of course Disney will probably land on something like, Elsa's let it go-ster. Instead of something that makes perfect sense.

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?

Yes, Disney is fine relying on The Muppets when they have no heart and soul of substance to present, because they know they are timeless, but constantly under utilize them in parks and cinema. The series is kind of fun. Nice to see.

Not radical enough for the coaster.
I swear, I don't understand how so many people don't get that this is an aggressive coaster by Disney standards.
You enter the area where you walk under a section of cars mounted upside down.
If it's your first time on the ride you think "Does it do that?"
The ride sets itself into a countdown launch - which was one of the fastest of its kind in the day.
You rocket into a loop, you do a barrel roll.
There is nothing Beatles (outside of Helter Skelter, Taylor Swift, etc., that fits this.)
I could see the mania of the Muppets, though I'd prefer not to.
