Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith


Description from PassPorter's Walt Disney World Guidebook:

Experience Disney’s first high-speed coaster launch. Hurtle through twists, 4–5G turns, and three inversions (yes, upside down)—in the dark! Rock band Aerosmith invites you to take a limo crosstown and join them backstage. Aerosmith also provides the soundtrack for your ride—five different tunes are possible depending upon which “limo” you get. Upon boarding, we recommend you press your head against the headrest to prepare for the very fast start (0–58 in 2.8 seconds). Beyond that, this may be the smoothest coaster you ever ride—even the coaster-shy have enjoyed it. Interactive indoor queue area takes you through a recording studio’s display of historic memorabilia. Take the single rider line for a shorter wait, or the “chicken exit” if you just want to enjoy the queue. 48”/122 cm height restriction. Transfer from ECV to wheelchair, and then transfer from wheelchair to ride. Alex’s KidTip: “Just no.” Allie’s KidTip: “You won’t believe how fast it goes! Make sure your stuff is safe.” TweenTip: “The loops are my favorite!” TeenTip: “This ride rocks!”

What PassPorter Readers Think of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith (33 comments):

We love RNRC. It is so much fun. Awesome Aerosmith background music. Although we love it. My son who is 9 is not a fan of roller coasters that go backwards. He goes on another ride with everyone else.

Definitely a thrill ride!

My husband's rating because I don't do coasters (fear of drops): "One of the best rides in all of WDW. Smooth coaster, good music, fun! The queue is fun too."

Family loves this one!

One of my favorite roller coasters. I use the single rider line-my DH can't take the inversions.

Ride during Extra Magic Hour!
Shula8205 gave this a rating of 9 on 06/24/2016 at 12:10:48 am EDT

Love it! Such a smooth (fast) ride! Just a bit too loud with the speakers right by your ears.

Love this attraction !! Fun riding it with my tweet and teen.
Dopey Girl gave this a rating of 10 on 06/20/2016 at 8:38:13 pm EDT

Could use an updated queue. Pretty bad when you have to wait for over an hour. Would give a 10 if they figured that out.
MissyMouse70 gave this a rating of 8 on 06/18/2016 at 10:33:56 pm EDT

Theming is great, although starting to get a little dated. First 5 seconds are worth the wait, after that it is a very average coaster.
fletch1965 gave this a rating of 7 on 06/17/2016 at 9:08:39 am EDT

If you are into thrill rides, this is great. The concept and theming are really fun and the take-off is awesome. Not for the faint of heart though!

A surprise hit with my coaster-hating hubby last year! He rode it several times, and just LOVED it!

Best ride in Disney World.

Best roller coaster at Disney...probably the only "true" one they have.
loveariel gave this a rating of 8 on 06/10/2016 at 3:53:00 pm EDT

This is by far our favorite roller coaster attraction at any of the Disney Parks - Disneyland or Disney World. Love the neon and the dark. Very smooth coaster too
krazykat_randi gave this a rating of 10 on 06/10/2016 at 12:59:21 pm EDT

Super fun roller coaster for thrill seekers - 0 to 60 start and upside down cork screw will get your screams going! Definite ride every time I am in the parks!
Csb10salum gave this a rating of 10 on 06/10/2016 at 11:09:53 am EDT

Favorite coaster ever!!! This might actually be my favorite attraction at WDW.
Urbss gave this a rating of 10 on 06/05/2016 at 6:59:58 pm EDT

This is one of the only 4 rides we have to do more than once when in Disney for a week. It is fast and loud but thrilling and immersive.
Loridove gave this a rating of 10 on 06/05/2016 at 6:44:24 pm EDT

Love everything about this ride, from the pre-show to the theming to the music that plays as you ride. Just wish it was longer.

Yeah baby! We get the best ride photos from this one :)

If you are not a fan of upside down this might not be a good choice

Love the music blaring in your ear! Lines can get ridiculous so get a Fast Pass.

The take-off is awesome! Love the scenery and music as your race along. One of my favorites!
