News Unscheduled Rock ‘N’ Roller Closure

For Pete's sake? Who's Pete? Pete Townshend? They're retheming with The Who? I can go with that. Thanks for that update.

Hi, I'm Pete

 

[Jrb1979]

Just do the retheme for pete's sake

Re-theme it to a Slipknot coaster

 

[OG Runner]

One of my favorite coasters. I do not do well with most coasters, especially if they are out side, but I love this one.

You jest, but with COVID there is no preshow and won’t be for the foreseeable future, so removing Aerosmith branding and music and making it generic would not be an impossible task.

Disney already has non-Aerosmith tracks prepped for RnRC (mostly as a PR failsafe) that are super easy to swap out (see it’s Star Wars premiere overlay.

As an unrelated aside, I’ve always wondered whether the general public would react to a rollercoaster with a calmer, more subdued soundtrack. One of my favorite roller coaster experiences has been riding Rockit to Rainbow Connection because it has a fascinating sensation.

This thought mostly crossed my mind because if they ever did an artist swap (which I haven’t really seen proposed in recent years, so this is spec bordering on armchair) the only artist with enough star power to pull this off that Disney has a good relationship with, IMO, is Swift, even though her latest albums featured more subdued music.

For me the music makes that coaster, hard driving and swooping

Interesting idea, but please no. One of my fondest memories was the first time I road RnRC with my son. He was 14 at the time.
We hit the first inversion with Sweet Emotion on full blast. The music really is an important part of the ride.

This is an excellent question - Would the coaster experience remain with a more subdued soundtrack? I never thought about it from that angle before, only what band could be used to provide a similar musical experience. A “Swift coaster”, for me, would be...

I'd assume there is a Pixar increadables soundtrack prepped and ready.

Yep. And probably a few Jack-Jack on a Sticks ready to go! FWIW, the 60's jazzy espionage theme music syncs really well.

That said, my money is on a Cars theme. Short of getting an abridged Radiator Springs Racers this seems the next logical option for the bean-counters especially now that Lighting McQueen's Race Academy is next door. A Route 66 Rock'n RollerCoaster with heavy emphasis on Ramone's House of Body Art and Flo's V8 Cafe. Music = Rascal Flatt's Life is a Highway.

That's interesting, has that been the case since it opened?

 

[MisterPenguin]

The back-up is Captain and Tennille.

I believe so, but I also believe they’re not carried on board as it were, as opposed to the fallback track.

I'd ride that. Gimme some Muskrat Love!

The onboard computers can't handle another 6 MB?

Just needs a component swap.

Re-theme it to a Slipknot coaster

I'm glad to see that I'm not the only person who's thought about how cool this could be

But it needs to be musical

They can just digitally add on Slipknot masks to everyone in the preshow video.
