Rock N Rollercoaster had tarp on it today

[Suger Mag]

i think it is hard to just pick another rock band, even a legendary one like Queen or ACDC... kinda feel like second choice.. ok swap out Aerosmith, insert Queen... dont know if an IP would be better, different direction than simply a replacement.. Def. not excited for a Jonas Bros or the like. WOuld prefer something like the Muppets and Electric Mayhem

 

[Jennasis]

They could just retheme the whole building to Monster's Inc and make it the door tunnels.

 

[Dis Dragon]

If it is Queen replacing Aerosmith do you think it would be original Queen or Queen with Adam Lambert? Or do you think they might do a hybrid version of it with both Freddie Mercury and Adam Lambert doing leaf vocals?

What in the world, there is no Queen without Freddie Mercury...

 

[Kennywood]

Really? Is no one going to recommend Slim Whitman??


If his yodeling is good enough for the "Mars Attacks!" movie, it's good enough for a roller coaster!

 

[ATL Gator]

Foo Fighters or Green Day. The opening video in rehearsal would be hilarious!

 

[igrsod]

+1 for Queen

Retheme the coaster cars as bicycles and 3-2-1 go [OK not really, but I do like the song)

or my personal favorite Queen of all time , but I just cant see a "Disney" theme to work with this

There are a lot of Queen songs with lyrics not exactly "PC" for the current times.... Well now that I think about that, the Aerosmith catalog has some moments as well... so nevermind

Aerosmith song "Love in an Elevator", I always thought that was weird at Disney.

 

[Liquidice]

I was thinking what exactly is new for the 50th… Ratatouille, New Firework Shows, and a new philharmagic segment?

You missed tons and tons of 50th merch

So RnR is still open right, and still themed inside to Aerosmith? Wonder if the tarp is just there temporarily to refresh the exterior.

Foo Fighters or Green Day. The opening video in rehearsal would be hilarious!

I thought Green Day would be a good one since they're still relevant today. Or there's always my choice...…Cannibal Corpse.

 

[TikiRob]

I just figured they are painting the guitar EARidescent.

The tarp is just over the giant guitar. The ride is open and there are no real reports about the retheming, just rumors.

I’m disappointed they are going into the 50th with so much construction, downed rides and unfinished projects. Not a good look. A bit embarrassing, IMO.

It's almost like all those projects were put on hold for some reason. Wonder what that was... Wish I could put my finger on it...

 

[smallworldnh]

Oh man, AC/DC would be amazing. I was thinking Boston would be a good one too... Maybe they could just re-theme it to a cover band and have various songs play .

Metallica would be cool, but maybe too much for Disney? The Who would be interesting too! I like you're idea of just playing a lot of different artists!

 

[katyjeka]

Queen!!!!

Everything was put on hold when the parks closed for the pandemic; no work was being performed. When the parks reopened, they reassessed and delayed and canceled projects. Doubt we see half the things in the future that they had announced.

Freddie Mercury does the vocals on what we listen to. Would they still do the band members. I assume Disney would reverse age surviving members. Freddie Mercury stand in or virtual using old video reconstructions makes sense.

Precisely, which is why it's ridiculous to act entitled and call it embarrassing when they've been a little sluggish getting those projects done. In a perfect world, sure, there would be no pandemic, and more projects would be done, but give the company a break. Rome wasn't built in a day, and clearly neither was TRON.

Yes, Rome wasn’t built in a day, but it was an actual city not a theme park. Disney projects are funded with an immense amount of money from customers with expectations of a finished product. Some construction is to be expected due to the unforeseen delays of a pandemic, but the degree of which during an impending major anniversary is puzzling and frankly disappointing. Pandemic or not, they could have mitigated their projects to better suit guest experience during this important event.

They had 18+ months of quiet parks to come up with a plan to open without looking like a construction site. Yes, larger rides like Tron is understandable with a pandemic but instead they keep tossing tarps and walls all around while adding more projects to the list and adding more ride closures. Call me entitled if it makes you feel big, but it’s puzzling to me that they wouldn’t get through the first months of the anniversary without adding more projects to the table.

I think they recorded a Love In a Roller Coaster version for the ride...you decide if that's cleaner or not

Dude... Relax.

Dude... Relax.

Oh, you don’t like people defending themselves when you call them entitled? Noted.
