America's premier rock band, Aerosmith, who have sold more than 80 million records and influenced generations of musicians, have teamed with Walt Disney Imagineering to create a high-speed thrill ride that will literally rock and roll Disney World Resort guests.
The Rock-n-Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith, located at Disney-MGM Studios, is an indoor roller coaster featuring a high-speed launch of 0-60 mph in less than three seconds. Also included are three inversions, rock concert lighting, and an Aerosmith soundtrack blasting from 120 onboard speakers in each coaster train. "When you've toured the world as much as we have, it's a real thrill to find a new audience," says lead singer Steven Tyler. "Coming up with a soundtrack for this Disney ride really brought the kid out in all of us and has given us the opportunity to play audio gymnastics with our music." Guests aboard each "limo" will encounter nearly 5 Gs as they transition from launch to loop at the ride's first inversion. By comparison, astronauts aboard the Space Shuttle experience 3 Gs at lift-off. Throughout the attraction, more than 900 speakers generate over 32,000 watts of audio power, just like a rock concert. The 3,400-foot-long track is more than a half mile of sudden accelerations, dips, loops and twists and turns. Disney World Resort guests will can find the Rock-n-Roller Coaster located near The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror. Photo credit: Disney World, Lake Buena Vista, Florida. |
