Cosmic Rewind is just as much an "off-the-shelf coaster in a box" as RnRC - its literally a pre-existing concept Disney bought from Vekoma, which also designed the coaster. Experts can correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe a version of the tech is already in use in Phantasialand.
Cosmic Rewind is not an off-the-shelf coaster. Rock-N-Rollercoaster uses a layout that Vekoma offered for sale to others and was built once outside of a Disney park. Cosmic Rewind’s layout is unique and custom designed for the project.
I'm happy to be corrected. Out of curiosity, where was the RnRC design used outside of a Disney park?

I think those bars might be something else like sprinklers.
Different names for different locations. People just used the Shanghai name as a placeholder.
Gotcha! Thanks
I hadn’t seen Disney or anyone else refer to the MK version as such until recently
Yeah, the fixtures above don’t seem like they would provide much light given the way they are angled. Whatever it is is much more robust than typical sprinklers, but a more robust system would make sense if you’re trying to extinguish a locomotive.
I was also thinking the boxes might be fans to help ventilate? Just a guess though.
I though about that too, but the way they’re off to the sides is odd for that purpose as the middle, right where the exhaust is centered, is still wide open.
For clarity’s sake, I’d have named it Tron: Cosmic Rock n’ Roller-Track Mountain. That really captures the experience.
That's so fun!
