My best guess is they want someone well known internationally that has been a big name for years.
Vladimir Putin.
Is this discussion still happening? Holy cow. Seriously, would any of us appreciate a countdown to launch that wasn't Steven Tyler? I mean, how awful would a launch countdown be from Olivia whatever-her-name-is??? I'll say it again, if not Aerosmith, I can only picture Metallica replacing them for the ride as is, but what would be the point.
LOVE Queen! Countdown doesn't work though. The whole "dahling" thing isn't really gonna rock like Steven Tyler. Now, the rest of the ride with Queen, absolutely. They've got some kick @ss songs for the ride.Queen
Launch countdown no longer necessary. Just clapping and stomping at that point. Everybody knows the timing.
Or you could splice together some old footage or get a Freddie voice double (looking at you Marc Martel) that could do a Freddie countdown. “4 dahling, 3 dahling, 2 dahling, go.
Might as well just stick with Aerosmith than switch things to another classic rock band who's famous lead singer passed away 30 years ago.LOVE Queen! Countdown doesn't work though.

100% agree. I just can't get back losing Steven scream the countdown. That part really gets the adrenaline going. I said way earlier in this ridiculous thread, the only other group I could see pull this ride off is Metallica, but again, what's the point when it's perfect with Aerosmith.Might as well just stick with Aerosmith than switch things to another classic rock band who's famous lead singer passed away 20 years ago.
Don't get me wrong, I'm a classic rock fan - I love Queen as well as Aerosmith, I was in my teens in the mid 70's.
But I see no point in swapping out one classic rock band for another.
If and when this ride is updated, if it stays musical it would need to be with a band that is current and that has potentially many more productive years left in their career.
Such a band would need to be edgy enough to go with the image of this ride, some light pop act wouldn't work.
Oh, and the act would need to have at least one huge song that is known across a wide range of ages, and musical demographics.
This ride is supposed to be exciting.
Metallica is about the only band I could think of that fits that - Enter Sandman is a song that fits that bill.
But they're probably too heavy, and they're all around 60 years old now.
If a musical act isn't used, than Disney will have to come up with something else that fits.
Have this play for the entire duration of the ride. Every ride. Every seat. Debate settled.

Btw, to the OP who was probably on Olivia's PR team, you starting this thread has actually caused me to hate Olivia whatever her name is. Any time I've seen her name mentioned, I experience small bursts of severe anger. This thread has caused me to seek therapy.
Oh lord. Any time I hear that song, I think of this...
Olivia won Female Artist of the year at the iHeart Radio Awards. Looks like this kid is going places…
Sounds like the Rolling Stones to me...If and when this ride is updated, if it stays musical it would need to be with a band that is current and that has potentially many more productive years left in their career.

Then it must be the end of the world. This attraction does not need re-theme, although maybe it could use a re-tracking a la the Mummy coaster?I hear she's going to replace Aerosmith in Rock 'n Roller Coaster!
