Rock'n Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith • Walt Disney World - Disney's Hollywood Studios

Launch Intensity Rattle Headbanging Harness

Still holds up after almost 25 years! The queue around the load area is cool, watching trains launch into the dark tunnel, with a quick burst of screaming and limo tires screeching (SFX), then total silence as the train is suddenly gone. And that first launch going right into a corkscrew is pretty intense. Nice G-forces but not too many inversions. I really dislike the overhead restraint though. I'm a pretty tall guy and there was not much room for my shoulders. Thankfully I was in my own row and I had room to slouch down and take up extra leg space. But because of that the ride is not totally comfortable for me. Also, as you may expect with an older coaster, there's rattling throughout, but not as bad as some others in the area (looking at you, Rip Ride Rockit)

Theming Inversions Launch Rattle

This thing is so much fun! It can cause headbanging for some people, but I didn't experience any my last ride, and it really made me enjoy the ride! It's got a great double inversion, a strong launch, and going in the dark is always fun! I don't mind the ride dying off after the launch and sea serpent roll, as being in the dark helps!

Launch Fun Headbanging

Very Fun and A Great Ride Overall.

It’s probably the best Disney ride I’ve been on. But it will give you a headache

Launch Fun Headbanging Dead spots Layout

The first launch is really one of the best there is, but it's all downhill from there. The layout is dull and unlike something like Space Mountain the pitch blackness just makes the boring elements even worse. The restraints are quite uncomfortable, but to be honest the Aerosmith blaring in your ears is quite fun. Frankly more mediocre rides should have Aerosmith drowning every other sound out. 6/10 - my backpack almost fell out of the car on the corkscrew

Theming Inversions Launch

I feel like this ride is highly underrated. Its been given hate for the rattle and dead spots, the music makes up for this. I'm more of a Nirvana fan anyways.

Fun launch, decent ride but a little bumpy and head banging

Fun Intensity Duration Dead spots

I really don't have much to complain about this ride. That first launch is unquestionably the best one I've experienced, and I won't lie, it kind of scares me a little given how intense it is. The inversions are so well done and the theming is pretty top-notch too. The only thing I didn't really like about this ride is the fact that some of those helixes can be a little boring, but other than that, I think this is a great coaster. Believe it or not, this is my sister's favorite coaster and after my first ride in April 2016, I can definitely understand. This ride is just awesome and it's a must-do when you visit Hollywood Studios.

Inversions Comfort Launch Theming

The launch caught me off guard, and the inversions were fun and also headbang-free. However, the theming on the ride isn’t that good compared to the queue and station of the ride

Theming Inversions Launch

This was my first coaster with inversions. I sang along to Walk This Way on it.

Inversions Nice surprise! Launch Layout

A very good ride overall. I loved the launch and forceful inversions, but there's always that one dead spot. The visuals are actually surprisingly nice, too!

Theming Launch

Great theming and launch. Was my first ever launch coaster as well as my first coaster with inversions.

Theming Inversions Launch Dead spots

A coaster I was not expecting to like as much as I did. A vekoma LSM, this ride’s layout is a typical vekoma. Thoigh there are only two inversions, they’re pretty fun and you could grey out on the cork screw, especially if you sit in the back. I rode this ride both in the front, middle, and back, and you get the best views from the front, but the most intensity in the back. It rattles a little, but very good for Vekoma standards. Highly recommend you ride this if you’re at Disney.

Theming Launch Fun Too short

An absolute blast. If it were longer, it would be near perfect to me.

Launch Disappointing!

If you're expecting big thrills, you'll be disappointed. The launch into darkness is the only part that provides a thrill. After that, the ride is pretty tame. We only got to ride it once because it kept breaking down.

Theming Launch Layout Capacity

Barely remember this but it's a fun one! Launch is great

Theming Inversions Launch Dead spots Layout

A good launch to start the ride and the sea serpent inversion is very intense, however the rest of the ride doesn’t really pull any forces but it’s still fun.

Theming Launch Rattle

The theming is fun, but it doesn't make up for how bumpy this ride is. It's cool, but it hurts.

Launch Hangtime Rattle Headbanging Theming

This ride is cool, the lack of theming + rattle leads to a meh ride. Normally I wouldn't mind this theming but this is in disney context. The inversions did have good hangtime and the launch was pretty strong though.

Inversions Launch Discomfort Layout

Rock "n" Roller coaster is definitely the most thrilling attraction at the Walt Disney World resort however it is not my favorite. starting with the good things. The launch is fantastic and probably the best I've been on. Rock 'n' Roller coaster builds excellent anticipation while waiting, the final stretch of the line is built around the beginning of the launch track, and while waiting you see all the people sent into the darkroom. Another pro is definitely the nice station theming however this brings us to our first con which is the lack of on-ride theming. The entire ride after the initial launch is taken in the dark which is fine as that is the purpose of the ride but still, it is rather upsetting that you go from a very well-themed station into a layout with minimal theming. The second con on this ride is it is rather uncomfortable, this ride is an old Vekoma is rather rough, and can give quite some headbanging, especially if you don't know about this in advance. The final con is the layout of the ride following the sea serpent roll and the launch which is rather boring and has no real fun elements apart from the corkscrew. overall the ride is not the best but the launch makes up for much of what the ride lacks. Overall I would give Rock 'N' Roller Coaster a 6/10.

Launch Layout

The first launch is really good, and first two elements back to back are great. The rest is very boring and the theming kinda weak, especially for a Disney park.

Launch Too short

What a launch. Kinda dies after the first two inversions. Really good for an actual adult ride at a Disney park. I didn’t experience any of the roughness or rattle mentioned by these other picky thoosies and I was in the back row.

Theming Inversions Launch Rattle

Hands down best indoor launch coaster. The launch builds lots of suspense and the Sea serpent inversion following is super forceful best part of the whole entire ride. You also get to jam to some Aerosmith during the ride which compares to rip, ride, rockit. Overall the rest of the ride is not boring but isn't as fun as the beginning 5-10 seconds but the layout is still better than Flight of Fear layouts. The theming is also insane but that's expected from every Disney ride out there but it definitely makes you feel like you have to rush threw the line because your going to be late for your concert. So like I said my favorite indoor launch coaster and is a must must do when you go to Disney's Hollywood Studios (P.S. You also have to do Tower of Terror as it is the best drop tower of all time)

Theming Launch Headbanging Dead spots

The beginning is good with that launch into the sea serpent. After that the ride is rough and dies down.

Theming Inversions Launch Dead spots

Great launch and great first inversion, after that the ride dies, it should have more inversions to add to the layout

Theming Launch Intensity Dead spots

Initial launch and first inversion is good but after that it kinda dies

Launch Fun Rattle Harness

This is the ride that got me into Aerosmith and even to rock music (then heavy metal), this is probably my favorite coaster at the Disney parks in Florida. The theme in the queue is okay. When on the ride, the launch is actually pretty intense (probably more so than Joker's Jinx at Six Flags America, a ride with a similar layout... and that had a lap bar). The sea-serpent element is quite forceful but the turns throughout the ride don't really do anything and if you're not careful, you could get some headbanging. The corkscrew was enjoyable, but I think what really makes it a great ride is that it's indoors and the Aerosmith music really sets the tone. A somewhat underrated ride.

Theming Launch Capacity

The waiting for this ride at a "quiet" day at disney was atrocious, like the queue didn't move at all. The pre-show and storytelling of the ride is well done. The ride it self is an old Vekoma launch. It builds up some nice anticipation before the launch. After the launch the is a "sea serpent corkscrew" and after that it get tamer with some curves, a final corkscrew, some curves and then the end. The ride has no head banging and is not too rough. Thrill: 3.25/5

Theming Capacity Launch Dead spots

The launch has a surprisingly high acceleration for being a Disney ride. The first two inversions taken in almost complete darkness are exciting. The rest of the ride is a generic spaghetti bowl in low light. The theming is great at the station and launch section, but is just okay in the main ride building. There are multiple dead spots, mostly attributed to what appears to be two mid course brake runs! I have no idea why Disney needed more than one block sections in the main part of the ride. This roller coaster always operates with 4 trains, but the ride isn't nearly long enough to put more than 2 trains between the launch and unload station, even with Disney's crazy fast 40 second dispatches.

Theming Layout

Really boring layout, really boring theme and really really awful effects inside the gravity building itself. Just uninteresting.

Theming Launch Intensity Rattle

Rock N Roller Coaster is a fun indoor Vekoma Launch. The LSM Launch is quite forceful and fun. The whole ride is consistently intense throughout and the theming during the indoor portions of the queue are great. The onride theming is pretty good too with the various signs around the ride. It’s overall a really fun spaghetti bowl coaster with just a little bit of a rattle.

Theming Inversions Launch Headbanging Dead spots

Wait a minute, I love that idea! This ride, which I just call Aerosmith, is a huge guilty pleasure. The best launch in Florida (Yes, including Cheetah Hunt, Hulk, AND Hagrid's!), an awesome first element, an excellent corkscrew, cheesy billboard theming, and awesome music. Complete with pointless meandering, bulky restraints, and poor track profiling! This ride is an absolute creative mess and I adore it for that.

Theming Launch Fun

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is probably Disney World's best coaster independently of theming. However, the theming is a little subpar by Disney standards. The coaster itself doesn't do much to distinguish itself from any other launched looping coaster, but the theming makes it a memorable experience.

Theming Launch Smoothness

7.6 out of 10. very smooth and fast coaster for the inversions. great theme but it is Disney.

Walk this way! Talk this way! ;) This was my first real coaster! Thought it was awesome at the time (back in 2005) although the preshow is pretty outdated now.. and i'm sure many young people won't know who aerosmith even are :P .. The launch as I remember it is fun.. first loop pretty intense.. but then the rest is average
