Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

A second installation with an identical track layout opened as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith at Walt Disney Studios Park within Disneyland Paris on March 16, 2002.

[2] The park hired Vekoma to build the launched indoor roller coaster, and construction began two months prior to the announcement in February 1998.

[3] The following month,[5] the attraction held its grand opening on July 29 with a special, invitation-only party featuring Aerosmith as the guests of honor.

[7] After a special performance by painter Denny Dent, winners received the chance to ride the roller coaster with one of the Aerosmith band members.

On December 17, 2015, the Hollywood Studios location hosted a special event to promote the release of Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

The queue line featured Star Wars movie posters, the Aerosmith pre-show was disabled and the speakers played music from the film.

[15] It was announced at the 2018 D23 Expo in Japan that the Walt Disney Studios Park location would be closing for a complete theme change to the Iron Man and Avengers franchises of the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

As guests enter Studio C, Aerosmith is working on an instrumental recording of "Walk This Way" with a sound engineer (Ken Marino).

[25] The former Paris version was similar, except guests entered a building themed to the fictional Tour de Force Records.

The story focused on Aerosmith, working with engineers, creating a revolutionary new music experience at the Tour De Force Records studios.

After watching the pre-show which features Aerosmith's Steven Tyler hyping up the ride, guests were lured into the testing area where they boarded one of five Soundtrackers, the prototype vehicles for the new experience.

As the limo leaves the parking garage, Bill St. James, the radio DJ of LA's Classic Rock Station, begins a short commentary, usually followed by a traffic report in the surrounding area where Aerosmith's concert is taking place.

The limo continues along the track, until it reaches the third and final inversion, a corkscrew, and ending the ride with more banked turns as well as a camelback hill.

The limo proceeds to the VIP backstage area, where guests exit through the red carpet towards the on-ride photo screens at the gift shop.
