Rock n' Roller Coaster reviews
Theme Park Insider readers offer their ratings and reviews for Rock n' Roller Coaster, a roller coaster in Sunset Boulevard at Disney's Hollywood Studios. (The minimum height to ride is 48 inches.)
Written by Marcos Rodriguez You venture into the G-Force Records building, only to meet Aerosmith in a practice session! Their agent tells them they have to leave for a concert across town, but the band feels bad for just leaving all of you there. Their agent summons a "Super-Stretch Limo" to take you there. You then leave to an alley behind the studio, where your super-stretch simo turns the comes, ready to take you to your destination. The coaster then blasts off, from 0 to 60 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds, putting up to 5 G's on the riders. It has a fast take-off, loud rocking music, and 3 loops! It's a wild ride to the concert, where a red carpet greets you.
Readers' rating:
9/10. A thrilling coaster with a story. The pre-show is interesting though you'll likely want to skip it on repeat visits if you could. The launch is great and although there are three inversions, you sometimes don't notice them in the dark. Thus, this is a good introduction to upside down coasters for many, myself included. Only downfall is that some of the effects on the ride itself are a bit cheesy. - Andrew Carrieri my first coaster!!!!!! this ride sticks out as one of the best rides in dhs aerosmith is awesome to the launch to the loop to the corkscrew this ride is amazing - Manny Rodriguez Probably the fastest roller coaster speed in 5 seconds that you will ever ride. From 0-60 mph in 5 seconds, this indoor roller coaster is a thrill, with flips and fast turns. Oh, and don't forget the Aerosmith music! - Matthew Harackiewicz This is thr Best indoor coaster ever Its awosome One of my favorite rides at DHS Space Mountain used to be my favorite but now this one is. - Giovanny Cruz Love Aerosmith love the ride - Tom Cunningham Not the best rollercoaster out there but definately the best themed. The pre-show is terribly acted but fun to watch and gears you up for whats to come. Outside queue area is disappointing as its just a bog standard queue and nothing to enjoy but the inside is great. The launch is brilliant and the first loop is unexpected the first time, but after the launch it doesn't really deliver as many thrills as indoor coasters like the Mummy. For what it is though, still a must ride! - James McGee Rock n' Roller Coaster is a good rollercoaster made excellent by its theming. The story is simple but effective and the launch into a loop is a nice touch. I like the theming around the coaster such as the signs and the donut and the parking garage is well done. The negative would have to be the restraints which seem to dig into my shoulders (6ft male, normal weight). Other than that a good ride. Queue - The queue for Rock n'Roller Coaster is terrible. The pre-show is okay and the G-Force records area is done pretty well. However up until then is a covered outdoor area with electric fans (and not the good ones that spray water, just ordinary ceiling ones). If the queue is long take a fastpass and go elsewhere. - Mark Williams Excellent! - Man-Eating Sharks I like the start the rest bores me slightly. The ride is great even though it's way too short! 8/10 - D H Love the neon lights here. Adds a nice touch! - Sarah Durden I'm surprised that Ileana Douglas had nothing else going on one day other than to go, "sure, I'd like to play Aerosmith's handler in a short film to be integrated into a theme park ride." Weird. Anyway, this is too short, especially considering the wait is one of the longest in the park. And the "concert" area you are queued into at the end of the ride just ensures that there's always a bottleneck of guests, making it difficult to exit easily. Also, it is a bad idea for them to play Aerosmith's slower songs. It's a "rockin roller coaster," so let's stay away from the ballads, shall we? All griping aside though, this is an incredibly fun ride, and no matter how many times you watch people be launched, it doesn't prepare you for how it will feel when it happens to you! - Heather Olson An exceptional coaster, made even better because it is indoors and in the dark. Sure, the launch and first two loops are amazing, but the rest of the ride, especially with all the sights, sounds, and music, is not too shabby either. Outstanding. - James Rao More attraction and restaurant ratings:
