A fan favorite roller coaster at Walt Disney World has closed. Here’s what is replacing it
Rock and Roll fans will be blown away by Disney MGM Studios’ newest thrill ride, the Rock n roller coaster. The ride keeps you in the dark, but the biggest surprise is the attraction’s musical tie-in. The bad boy band Aerosmith is now *** Disney partner. Put your head between your legs and kiss your goodbye. How does that go? You know, it’s like he meant to say tushy. It’s an unlikely combination, especially for *** theme park that doesn’t allow its employees to wear earrings or show tattoos in plain sight, but Disney officials disagree. They wanted *** band with *** long history and *** strong fan base. They founded in Aerosmith. They’re *** very successful band. They want to protect their own image for the future, and they’re very proud of what they’ve accomplished, quite rightly so. So I don’t have any qualms that this is going to be great for the future. Band members didn’t have to cut their hair to get their name on *** Disney ride, but they did have to sign *** contract with the moral clause. These musicians endorse this ride that takes you for *** loop, much like the music of Aerosmith. This is not Candy Store Rock and Roll Corporation jelly roll play the singles It Ain’t me, it’s Program insanity. This is Aerosmith’s rock and roller coaster. Disney’s rock and roller coaster officially opens to the public Thursday night, and you can even grab what’s called *** fast pass so you don’t have to stand in any lines.
