I rode it twice on Monday! (One using a re-entry pass because it broke down on Sunday night!)

Yeah it might be, but it is still a fun ride. I wish it had some more twists or drops. It just needs a little bit more. I love the cork screw though.

Happy Birthday, Rock n' Roller Coaster! :sohappy:
Hope Hannah Montana or Jonas Brothers doesn't replace your Aerosmith band! :lookaroun
And I never rode it - yet.

I've had this argument in several locations. Coasters can be broken down into 3 different categories
No theme Coasters - This would be rides like Superman Ride of Steel at Six Flags New England (prior to the Bizzaro makeover), and most of your normal Six Flags/Busch Gardens coasters
Lightly Themed Coasters - This would be California Screamin', Rip, ride, Rock it, Manta.
Heavily Themed Coasters - Space Mountain, Thunder Mountain, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Expedition Everest, Revenge of the Mummy
The track layout of RnR isn't that elaborate but by virtue of having on-board audio I would put it in the Lightly Themed Category, and with the addition of it being in the dark with the additional black light scenery it goes into the Heavily Themed category. If you're talking about best theming in a heavily themed coaster it's probably near the bottom along with Space Mountain, but when you couple in theming, onboard audio, and thrill component (compared to other heavily themed coasters) it has to be considered one of the best.

The heavily themed load area, Pre-Show, Queue, and Story are all things that put RNR in that last category as well.
I don't care who you are, RNR is an entertaining show.

? Why ? Then they would have to call the ride "_______ercoaster"
That comments sounds like it was made by the parents in Dirty Dancing!

Of course it is. Where else can I tell Aerosmith to ditch their manager? If you put me in DHS, I could survive on only Sunset Blvd and GMR.
However, I still believe that Manta falls into the heavily themed category. The track may not be indoors or hidden, but it interacts perfectly with the scenery and water features as well as truly giving you the sensation that you're in flight.

Try as I might to love RnRC, I always manage to get my head banged around on the over-the-shoulder restraints. I have tried to hold my head in all sorts of weird positions (back against the seat, forward, etc.) but I always come off that ride with a headache. I hate that it does this because I love roller coasters and other than that would love this ride.:shrug: Anybody else experience this problem?

So my 15 year old has a friend who parents are as nutty about Disney as our family is . This kids family swears that Hannah Montana will be the next theme to RNR because of aerosmith contract being up. Anyone can confirm or deny this rumor? :shrug:

I think its a fun ride, I always enjoy it. I went with 2 other people that didn't want to ride it a couple years back...Fast Pass x 3. It was great, I was pretty dizzy after the 3rd time.
Looking forward to hitting it next week!
