This is one of my favourite coasters of all time. The ride itself isn't special. It's not the biggest, the fastest, nor the most innovative. However, the _theming_ makes it something truly special. It's just pure, concentrated fun.
First time I rode this I realized at "TWO!" what was happening and I was terrified. Love this ride to death but I always get a little anxious at that part (even just watching a video...)
During my Disney internship I was able to ride this 23 times in a row before the park opened. Got to do it with lights on, off, music off, star wars music. It was the coolest.
@@Theme_parchive yeah it was mad cool. I was apart of a group testing an app that I'm not sure was ever released, we had to have it running while we were on the ride lol. It was like 5:30 AM - a nice way to start the day 😎
When you physically see your surroundings, you are coordinated enough to underatand your true movement. By blacking everything out like space and Rockin, you lose your sense of coordination and you really are relying on wind to the face and sounds. With some extra inagineering it can feel extremely fast and crazy.
@@robradical7213 yeah so is that shit bay they built for star wars. That park is centered around star wars now. They could have built a completely different park for it. Instead they continue to destroy that place.
Damn I never realized how boring the layout was until seeing this. The theming makes up for it, but it feels a lot faster and more intense than it actually is
This was my first real roller coaster. And unfortunately, it’s most likely my last. I almost cried watching this. I went when I I was 7 back in 2000, just after it opened. My sister and I had only seen the posters for it, which made it look like a VR experience more than a roller coaster. I didn’t know what I was getting into until after we got past the recording studio in line, and hit the chain link fence. That’s where I saw the actual cars taking off and I burst into tears. (For reference, I was also scared shitless to ride TEST TRACK, so I’m not big on rides. I later discovered that test track is fuckin fun, and not scary at all, despite the cars whizzing over your head when you walk in) But I was FREAKED OUT when I saw RRC take off. I don’t do roller coasters. My family made me come along anyway. We were already in line for hours. I had tears all over my face, but I sucked it up. I’m mostly afraid of heights than anything else. The darkness helped SO MUCH. The picture of us during the takeoff is still in my bedroom, because my face is absolutely priceless and my parents had to buy it. I look horrified. We went back to Disney a few years later, and I went on this ride as many times as I could. I even managed to sneak a single rider run through right before the park closed, while my parents sat at a picnic table. Then I had brain surgery in 2013 and 2 more in 2017.... After endless research on pretty much every roller coaster death in America, MOST are due to pre-existing heart or brain conditions. (Which is really awesome news for healthy people!!! It’s really statistically unlikely that anything bad will happen...) But I could risk actually dying. I can barely handle an elevator moving too quickly anymore. So I just had a flashback of 7 year old me, screaming my ass off, and then having the best time of my life. 😅 Thanks for the video. 🙏🏻
This was supposed to be my first roller coast at age 13 but once my mom saw that it was a launch coaster and my sister, who was ten, had big crocodile tears in her eyes my mom let my grandmother take us the chicken exit. I love all the other roller coasters at Disney though and my sister is a big roller coaster freak now but at the time she wasn't. I'm still not that into roller coasters.
I was also gonna ride this once, and I knew what was gonna happen too! We got the fast passes in advance to make it quicker to the front but once we saw the trains, I FREAKED OUT! Seeing how fast they went, I was terrified, cried, and chickened out while my cousin and brother went on. I feel bad since my mom didn’t get to ride it but I will make sure to ride it next we go.
Andrew Tso No, because I’m a beginner of rollercoasters. So I’m leaving the opportunity open for an even better rollercoaster in the future. But so far, Rock n Rollercoaster is my favorite.
Rachel Rojas go to Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio they have a bunch of awesome roller coasters that are bound to be your favorite, it also has the nickname "America's Rockin Roller Coast"
Yeah! They’re not suppose to be scary. The reason is cuz it’s a themed park not an amusement park. They make these things for the older kids and parents. But they don’t get to extreme. Ur technically suppose to be in all the Disney stories. That’s the whole point. That’s why Disney is my pace because I can’t do anything extreme. This is just perfect!
This is my favorite ride. I’ve been on it a million times but every time I’m in the line my heart races and especially sitting there knowing what’s going to happen and the countdown. Then I love it again the second it blasts off
I had the honor of being a cast member on the opening crew for Rocking Roller Coaster. That meant a lot of preliminary rides before opening to the public, some in the dark and some with the lights on. Lit up was, to me, always scarier because you saw every beam and post that potentially could knock your head off. RRC was and still is my favorite WDW ride.
This will always have a place in my heart. It wasnt my first coaster. But as an 8 year old in 09. It was my first looping coaster. I remember being so scared. When I saw the launch i started freaking out. Begging to leave. But my mom just said ill be fine. Part of me wanted to ride. Part of me didnt. So i didnt leave. In those days i remember them not having a count down and more just randomly launching down track at any time. My face in the picture showed it all. I ended up loving it. Fast foward to 2015. We get to go again. I waited in line this time as a 13 year old and one who loved coasters. Still a bit nervous but not scared. I loved it that time. We went back again on our last day as part of our extended hours pass. I rode it by myself once and then one lass time with my mom. Later that year she was diagnosed with cancer and died in October. Its only fitting that the first looping coaster i ever rode with my mom was also the last looping coaster that i got to ride with her. Will always be a top 10 coaster for me
That's beautiful, I went on at 11 scared out of my witts, like u, I wanted to leave and didn't. Haven't done it since, referring back to this vid to build myself up to it again. Wasn't sure if I wld do it, but after reading this, I think I shld. Well done for sharing ur story so publicly, and rest in peace to ur mom x
That's pretty neat with lights on. When you ride in the dark you really have no sense of how tight the tracks are to itself as it loops around. Very cool.
savannah marshall - Each of the trains plays a different Aerosmith song. I love screaming the lyrics along with them, but I’m a longtime Aerosmith fan so I know all the words.
@Dylan D'Agostino have u ever on Hollywood Rip Ride Rockit at Universal Studios in Orlando,FL ??It's a coaster in which riders get to choose a song from several genres of music that they want to play during the duration of the ride .
I don't particularly like loop inversion coasters and it sounds crazy but this ride is so smooth and the Aerosmith music playing still makes it awesome. You barely notice the loops because the soundtrack is a blast and the launch from standstill is still in your mind. I'd definitely recommend to anyone unsure of inversions. Give it a go.
I agree. This was my first ever roller coaster with an inversion. For the longest time I was terrified of rides that went upside down. One day I decided to suck it up and go on this. And yeah the darkness and atmosphere makes you forget there’s any inversions.
i remember riding this when i went to disney studios before the retheming to hollywood studios when it was the old mgm. this ride was amazing. i'm blind, so can't see the theming, but the sound track when you're on the ride is really something, adds to the experience of a normal coaster, and that launch is just fantastic too. the person i visited the park with did try to describe the signs and things as we rode the second time. a very good coaster that has stood the test of time.
@@toplonghorn831 Rude. And since Martin obviously commented on the video, your comment doesn’t even make sense. Delete it and stop embarrassing yourself.
@@toplonghorn831My screenreader lets me read notifications and replies. plus there are some lights on videos where people are commenting on what they come across, especially during "in show exits." TPM vids is good for those, very audio heavy in all their videos. also, I was with someone who could see when I was riding the coaster. we went round twice, and the second time they were able to focus on the theming a bit more and describe it to me off ride. even with no theming, EG how I experienced the ride as a rider who is blind, it's still a really good coaster.
this ride is a vibe. obviously the camera does no justice but this is one of my favorites because of the feeling they give you. excited before the excitement. you're not even nervous just excited
that countdown is just so different then any other launch coaster ive been on. The theming on this ride is INCREDIBLE . Disney, never EVER retheme this because omg. this. is. my. fav. coaster. ever!
First launched coaster was this one. Something about how violent the launch was really stuck with me - even going on TTD, Accelerator, etc - I can still remember how the launch on this one took my breath away
ua-cam.com/video/VlYWuzask-8/v-deo.html Well, I'll tell you that it's a very different case if you were to ride it yourself with the lights on. also, the link is to a somewhat direct "clone" (not sure, might be the original version of the spaghetti bowl vekoma coaster, it simply had a later opening date).
If you think this coaster is boring, you must consider 99% of Disney World's rides and attractions as dogshit lmao. I mean this is literally their best coaster, and all it is it a clone of Xpress by Vekoma.
RemixedVoice I’m just talking about the layout, it doesn’t really do anything, when not doing an inversion, it just meanders around, plus the mid course kills the momentum so hard
me and my family had fast passes to this ride but my grandma and mom didn’t want to go so me and my aunt did. we had 2 extra passes since they didn’t want to go but i didn’t go on it a second time:( i really regret that
This is my favorite ride in Disney, IT NEVER GETS OLD regardless of how many times I ride it! I love gettting launched into the darkened freeways of Los Angeles.
Just rode it, really fun. I was nervous about it going upside down but I actually loved that part. I would highly recommend this to anyone scared of going upside down, it will change your view of that.
I went on this when I was little with my family. My dad will never let me forget my reaction. I was so scared to get on this thing. Terrified. I went on it finally and oh my god. I loved it! We got off and I just basically screamed, "that was AWESOME!" everyone on the coaster had a good laugh at that. Can't wait to ride again some day.
this is my favorite coaster. even though ive been on it multiple times, my gut still drops when the countdown starts and you see the people in front of you get slingshotted off. it's one of the best rides Disney has at their parks, and i would be devastated if they threw it away.
If Bill-Saint James was there during Aerosmith’s visit to the ride *whole crowd goes wild* Bill-saint: it’s official Aerosmith is visiting their classic attraction. I’m Bill-Saint James on LARS (Las Angeles Rock Station)
I rode this the other day on my 22nd birthday and they only rollercoaster I had ever been on previously (in my entire life) was slinky dog dash, like 20 minutes before i got on this one. My friend turned to me when we entered the loading area and said "don't look" but unfortunately she didn't say it soon enough, and watching the ride shoot off into that tunnel was terrifying lol. I ended up loving it though!
This was my first ever real roller coaster (because I was too scared and I was 12) and I loved it! I’m afraid of heights and when I rode it with the darkness around I didn’t mind the ride after, I also love Aerosmith so it made it incredibly fun!
Great to have this P.O.V. video as we are still stuck with the dismay of having to cancel all of our Disney World plans for this Spring Break and supposedly the Summer, too. Thanks, ProjectSunset! We all owe you one, as Aerosmith/Disney World/Music fans!!!!!!
For this being one of my very first rollercoasters that had inversions I enjoyed it. Scared to death to go on it but after I rode with a British guy since I was on the single riders line that dude helped me get through that ride wonder where he is now tbh. That guy helped me see the fun in those rollercoasters and he was right after the first time they aren't so bad. I wanted to ride it again, still do.
When did you sit next to this British guy? I remember being in single riders reassuring someone lol. And I am also British! Chances are pretty slim though, let's be honest...
I remember my first time going on this my dad lied to me and said "It doesn't go upside down" and when it did in the middle of the ride I was yelling at him- We ended up going on it twice and this is the ride that got me brave enough to go on the Hulk ride FIVE TIMES IN A ROW and Rip Ride Rockit
I mean while i was at the line there was a voice message that said "Remember this has dark areas, fast speed and upside downs" (i was terrified while hearing it)
Love it! I held my iPhone straight to my eyes pretending I was at Disney. The 45 seconds or so was a nice break of reality during this shit storm the world is going through.
Ozzie Alarcon Me: ok, Corona, we're going on a rooooooollller coooaster! Corona(scared) I don't wanna go the roller coaster! Me: you should have thought about that when shutting down the earth!
I rode this as a kid and shut my eyes the entire ride. I was/still am afraid of roller coasters but this one always seemed tame. Now I know why! Thanks to the OP!
Me watching this to convince myself “it’s not gonna be that bad” Edit: I ended up riding the roller coaster was rlly fun the only part I didn’t like was the beginning
@@bobbyc1120 Bush Gardens What? I know it's in Tampa Bay, but there's another one in Williamsburg, Virginia. People reading the message are probably confused if they only know the Bush Gardens in Williamsburg.
It’s nice to watch it with light ..My son and I got on that ride . It was really good ..and fast 💨 . Can’t wait to go back to Disney world , these places bring out my inner child.
I still remember getting on this, this was the first time I had ever been on a Roller Coaster that went upside down. I had until then been scared of that. Since this is inside a building, I didn't know that it went upside down until I got strapped into the seat and the announcement said something about keeping your hands inside because the track has loops and I was like WHAT! NO lol. But I did it anyway and loved it, been on as many roller coasters that have loops as much as I could since then.
Same, this ride was the first ride I ever went on with inversions, I’m from the UK so a few months when we came back we went to Alton towers for my brothers birthday. I rode the smiler 3 times that day.
@@miwer1000 Yes, bc Xpress dosen't have as much bloc sections as Disney's RNRC. And Walibi make it clear that, for some coasters to be enjoyable, they *need* scenery.
If any of you are first time riders, listen to this. I just went on the ride today (it was my first time) and it was probably one of the best rides at Disney world!! I know it seems scary jetting off like that in the beginning, but trust me you won’t regret it. The flips, you barely feel and after the first flip you’ll just want to keep doing it over and over again!! Just have fun, relax, take deep breaths, and enjoy the ride!
@@GuitarHorse98 I absolutely hate drops too. but I'm scared of roller coasters in general. so I don't know how I'd react to the Gs from the corkscrews etc. and it goes upside down too. sucks bc I wanna ride it. 🙃
I love this roller coaster the music the velocity and the decoration In my case is the best. I having the opportunity to ride this roller coaster in february 2023.
First I went on it I was nervous, even though I’d been on bigger and equally as fast launch’s. When I got in there was an immediate delay then we went round the corner. Bro the count down made my heart race so fast. No cap the launch is just too good and the music is legendary
Yes. I remember in 09 the launch was random there wasn't a countdown. But at some point they put that countdown in. I went again in 15. However they did make the launch happen at 1 instead of 0 or go to still keep it a bit surprising. Glad they didn't completely ruin the launch aspect
Ok so I just rode this for the first time, and it was.. FANTASTIC! I eventually rode it another time. Honestly, I regret not riding this sooner But this is my first looping coaster so I’m glad I waited till I was fully ready. The loops were surprisingly not bad at all. It feels like your flying yet being pushed in/out of your seat and you take a HUGE turn to the sides. This definitely bumped up to be my second favorite ride at Disney and I’m so excited to ride it again! :D
Glad you enjoyed the ride! It’s a great experience. And yes Coaster inversions usually aren’t bad. They’re designed with G forces in mind so you stay in your seat and it doesn’t make you sick. If you look at an average vertical loop you’ll notice it’s not a perfect circle but shaped more Ike an upside down teardrop. This is to accommodate for the forces and gravity.
one time at disneyland paris my brother took his phone out to record so mid countdown they stopped the ride and told him to put it away. basically, the whole ride was now out of sync so we launched completely unexpectedly then rode the rest of the ride with zero music. i already had so much adrenaline from the out of the blue launch but the creepiness of a silent rollercoaster which is normally upbeat and rockin just added to it. best rollercoaster experience of my life.
Oh yes! What you experienced is called a launch inhibit. The launch sequence is manually activated by a cast member in the control booth. However if they see someone with their phone out or other loose items they will inhibit the ride and tell you to put the item away. However usually the music still works so that’s an odd glitch.
one time i went and we waited in line for like an hour and a half and right when we got to the part where we get on, i had a panic attack and didnt get on. so, i waited an hour and a half for nothing 😁
@@caseykauffman1006 the ride had just finished, but we were not moving. A cast member came by and hung out with us for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then it was announced that we had to evacuate, so row by row they released the restraints and got everyone out in an orderly fashion. We then had to walk through the are where the ride takes place with the lights on. It was awesome to see that ride is in such a small place. (It's also used for storage lol.) We pretty much walked backwards to the entrance. So cool.
@@Theme_parchive there is a coaster in the netherlands called Xpress platform 13 and it is the rock n rollercoaster in open air. its in a park called walibi holland (former six flags)
Soooo the people I was with lied to me and said this was a gentle simulator where you just drive around a city. They were like “oh no it’s fine it’s really gentle and you don’t go upside down or anything.” (I didn’t own a phone yet, otherwise I would’ve totally looked it up). No one told me to put my head back so it slammed into the seat when we accelerated and I was out. I came back around the 1:15 part of the ride. I had to lay down for 10 minutes after going on the ride because I have a condition that makes it too dangerous for me to go on a ride with inversions. So yeah I have fond memories of this... not 😂
went on this a few weeks ago. I'm known in my family for backing out of rides/being scared of them. My sister said there weren't any inversions, just a super fast coaster and in all fairness i believed her. after going on it i would do it again super fun for tourists (like myself) would reccomend especially if you don't go to WDW very often. A must see definetely a large wait but well worth
This is one of my favourite coasters of all time. The ride itself isn't special. It's not the biggest, the fastest, nor the most innovative.
However, the _theming_ makes it something truly special. It's just pure, concentrated fun.
its called Disney...
Hate to be that guy but the launch is force less and I always have a headache afterwards.
Absolutely agree...with Young Lust, F.I.N.E and Love in an Elevator playing it makes the ride even better.
@@openroadtravels181 exactly.
holy shit wait for Tron
The countdown makes my stomach drop even more

Least it gives u a heads up, bro.
I like the countdown it really let's you know when to expect the start rather than just having to guess when it will
First time I rode this I realized at "TWO!" what was happening and I was terrified. Love this ride to death but I always get a little anxious at that part (even just watching a video...)
The countdown is the best though xD
Just watching this makes me feel like I’m going to hit my head on everything
That's how I always feel on this ride and Space Mountain
For me it’s not a head banger
When that other car went past on that turn earlier in the video, I was like, wow.. that's close.

Sheeeeeesh
Not sure why you would want music off
I worked the ride as a CP and I remember early morning test groups coming through once in a while!
Why does every Disney roller coaster that is in the dark feel so intense but with the lights on it feels like your normal rollercoaster.
When you physically see your surroundings, you are coordinated enough to underatand your true movement. By blacking everything out like space and Rockin, you lose your sense of coordination and you really are relying on wind to the face and sounds. With some extra inagineering it can feel extremely fast and crazy.
That's why it's a dark ride
Because of the unknown.
Because it’s disney
Right like space mountain! Space mountain is fun and scary in the dark but with the lights on it’s actually underwhelming.
Pray disney never gets rid of this ride or tethemes
There are definitely plans to retheme this ride. There are 2 more phases in the works for the Hollywood Studios refurbishment.
The Paris one is already being rethemed.
Probably star wars
@@sunlit2590 Star Wars Galaxies Edge is on the opposite side of the park as Rock n Roller Coaster.
@@robradical7213 yeah so is that shit bay they built for star wars. That park is centered around star wars now. They could have built a completely different park for it. Instead they continue to destroy that place.

Hearing the countdown makes me nauseous, but honestly the second I’m moving I’m pumped
Me to bro
same!
Damn I never realized how boring the layout was until seeing this. The theming makes up for it, but it feels a lot faster and more intense than it actually is
Viraan I think there’s a corkscrew in there somewhere too but yeah it’s Disney so I guess they didn’t wanna make it too much or something lol
Still amazing though
I’ve seen the construction pictures & it basically looked like a twisted metal knot (the building was built around the completed coaster track).
FarFetched
Ikr
I think that this certain run through has reduced speed because I think it’s for young engineers trying to learn about how it was made

i remember riding this when i went to disney studios before the retheming to hollywood studios when it was the old mgm. this ride was amazing. i'm blind, so can't see the theming, but the sound track when you're on the ride is really something, adds to the experience of a normal coaster, and that launch is just fantastic too. the person i visited the park with did try to describe the signs and things as we rode the second time. a very good coaster that has stood the test of time.
Yes indeed it has! :D
Lol they really responded. He probably can’t even see it
@@toplonghorn831 Rude. And since Martin obviously commented on the video, your comment doesn’t even make sense. Delete it and stop embarrassing yourself.
I meant he responded to someone who probably wouldn’t see it, chill
@@toplonghorn831My screenreader lets me read notifications and replies. plus there are some lights on videos where people are commenting on what they come across, especially during "in show exits." TPM vids is good for those, very audio heavy in all their videos. also, I was with someone who could see when I was riding the coaster. we went round twice, and the second time they were able to focus on the theming a bit more and describe it to me off ride. even with no theming, EG how I experienced the ride as a rider who is blind, it's still a really good coaster.
this ride is a vibe. obviously the camera does no justice but this is one of my favorites because of the feeling they give you. excited before the excitement. you're not even nervous just excited
that countdown is just so different then any other launch coaster ive been on. The theming on this ride is INCREDIBLE . Disney, never EVER retheme this because omg. this. is. my. fav. coaster. ever!
sad that this is like the only coaster with an inversion at disneyworld
True, even the new guardians coaster is not to have any inversions
There’s a coaster with a inversion in Tokyo disney
Max Thrills which ride?
Zachary Tannenbaum at Disneyland Paris there are 3 rides with inversions, this, Indiana Jones and space mountain.
Rock'n'roller coaster at Disneyland Paris has been closed a few months ago now
First launched coaster was this one. Something about how violent the launch was really stuck with me - even going on TTD, Accelerator, etc - I can still remember how the launch on this one took my breath away
Nice
57 mph in 2.8 seconds, roughly as fast as a Mclaren Senna.
THANK YOU! I love launching coasters, mainly due to this one, but it's very forceful. People really underestimate it.
lies. no one just flies like that thru LA traffic. LIES, I tell you.
Zachary Scott u absolutely right.L.A traffic is like one of the worst in a west coast city and freeways are always shutdown
Well at that speed, you'd probably cause like 500 or so wrecks and a lawsuit at best. Realism isn't Disney's specialty.
Experiencing that in the pitch darkness was amazing! Especially hitting that first loop right away after the blast off! The inertia was awesome!
With the lights on, it looks smaller than I imagined it would be.

Well, I'll tell you that it's a very different case if you were to ride it yourself with the lights on. also, the link is to a somewhat direct "clone" (not sure, might be the original version of the spaghetti bowl vekoma coaster, it simply had a later opening date).
I see now why the lights are off, the ride is boring as sin without that part
If you think this coaster is boring, you must consider 99% of Disney World's rides and attractions as dogshit lmao. I mean this is literally their best coaster, and all it is it a clone of Xpress by Vekoma.
RemixedVoice I’m just talking about the layout, it doesn’t really do anything, when not doing an inversion, it just meanders around, plus the mid course kills the momentum so hard
@@Specialguy29 It's still fast as hell.
With the lights on, the building looks like a trash dump with all the signs and set pieces cluttering the place.
@@RemixedVoice he means the layout is boring, which it is
This is a pretty simple coaster and feels soooo different when seeing it in the lights! With all the lights, music, and dark, it is sooo thrilling!
me and my family had fast passes to this ride but my grandma and mom didn’t want to go so me and my aunt did. we had 2 extra passes since they didn’t want to go but i didn’t go on it a second time:( i really regret that
Jesus Loved you to die for your sins, was buried for you, and rose again 3 days later, ALL FOR YOU. will you live for Him?
That is one well designed coaster. The pre-show is pretty cool too.
This is my favorite ride in Disney, IT NEVER GETS OLD regardless of how many times I ride it! I love gettting launched into the darkened freeways of Los Angeles.
The legendary Bill St James at the beginning, now running Time Warp on select radio stations Saturdays and Sundays!
Thank you! I found him! Yayyyyyyyyyyyyyy!
Just rode it, really fun. I was nervous about it going upside down but I actually loved that part. I would highly recommend this to anyone scared of going upside down, it will change your view of that.
THANK YOU, I REALLY NEEDED THIS COMMENT
Does it have drops
Pretty small ones, maybe 10ft drops
Can’t remember too well bc I went 2 months ago though
I’m scared of going upside down and me and my family might go so I’m trying this ride!
I love riding this thing. it’s one of my favorites attractions at disney, can’t wait to ride it again once everything is back to normal!
I love this coaster. So good. It's definitely better with the lights off but impressive to see how well it's built.
The lights are usually off when you’re on the ride. Everything is neon! So cool!
i would definitely recommend to try and go on Space Mountain with the lights on. it’s absolutely insane how tightly packed everything
Always afraid of losing top of my head
@@mk84ldb same but for some reason im not scared on rock and rollercoaster
I like it dark cuz you don’t know what happens next so you don’t expect anything.
Yeah this is only for employees. Imagineers, and inspectors. This was footage taken by inspectors
I went on this when I was little with my family. My dad will never let me forget my reaction. I was so scared to get on this thing. Terrified. I went on it finally and oh my god. I loved it! We got off and I just basically screamed, "that was AWESOME!" everyone on the coaster had a good laugh at that. Can't wait to ride again some day.
I went to Hollywood studios yesterday and went straight on rock n roller coaster and it was actually so much fun I loved it!! ❤
this is my favorite coaster. even though ive been on it multiple times, my gut still drops when the countdown starts and you see the people in front of you get slingshotted off. it's one of the best rides Disney has at their parks, and i would be devastated if they threw it away.
I honestly think its more intense then cheetah hunt. no clue what it is? search: cheetah hunt busch gardens.
@@rollercoasterbros-fh3gzI seriously doubt that
the countdown gives me chills🤩
Some say bill saint James still checks out Steven Tyler’s hat
After my annual trip I can confirm he does indeed
If Bill-Saint James was there during Aerosmith’s visit to the ride *whole crowd goes wild* Bill-saint: it’s official Aerosmith is visiting their classic attraction. I’m Bill-Saint James on LARS (Las Angeles Rock Station)
I rode this the other day on my 22nd birthday and they only rollercoaster I had ever been on previously (in my entire life) was slinky dog dash, like 20 minutes before i got on this one. My friend turned to me when we entered the loading area and said "don't look" but unfortunately she didn't say it soon enough, and watching the ride shoot off into that tunnel was terrifying lol. I ended up loving it though!
It's also your first ride with inversions
This has to be one the coolest roller coasters I’ve ever ride!
The countdown to launch
The music
The inversion
The theme
This was my first ever real roller coaster (because I was too scared and I was 12) and I loved it! I’m afraid of heights and when I rode it with the darkness around I didn’t mind the ride after, I also love Aerosmith so it made it incredibly fun!
@CJA2268 I’m also 12 and in the park today to ride it for the first time and I’m scared
Me: I wonder how Rock n rollercoaster is with the lights on
This video comes up
Me: starts screaming and dose flips in in the loops
i already love aerosmith and being able to go on ROCK N ROLLER COASTER makes me feel so special
Great to have this P.O.V. video as we are still stuck with the dismay of having to cancel all of our Disney World plans for this Spring Break and supposedly the Summer, too. Thanks, ProjectSunset! We all owe you one, as Aerosmith/Disney World/Music fans!!!!!!
The launch and the countdown by Steven Tyler it was the only thing that made me nervous but the rest I love it (in the dark of course)
For this being one of my very first rollercoasters that had inversions I enjoyed it. Scared to death to go on it but after I rode with a British guy since I was on the single riders line that dude helped me get through that ride wonder where he is now tbh. That guy helped me see the fun in those rollercoasters and he was right after the first time they aren't so bad. I wanted to ride it again, still do.
When did you sit next to this British guy? I remember being in single riders reassuring someone lol. And I am also British! Chances are pretty slim though, let's be honest...
@@paulkedwards4023 it was around March 25-27 sometime around there and I got on rock n rollercoaster
This was the best ride I have ever been on, I’ve been on it like 50 times
There is a copy of this coaster in Walibi Holland, exact same layout but complete outside. It is called: Express platform 13
Ah yes Xpress platform 13. Looks like a great variant
My club at my school went to Disney world last year and rode this with the lights on for a class, and also space mountain, it was very cool.
The waiting for that green light is what worked me up the most !
THATS AWESOME! I love that ride and I got ride front seat on my birthday before the parks closed! The countdown hypes me up every time
I remember my first time going on this my dad lied to me and said "It doesn't go upside down" and when it did in the middle of the ride I was yelling at him- We ended up going on it twice and this is the ride that got me brave enough to go on the Hulk ride FIVE TIMES IN A ROW and Rip Ride Rockit
I mean while i was at the line there was a voice message that said "Remember this has dark areas, fast speed and upside downs" (i was terrified while hearing it)
Love it! I held my iPhone straight to my eyes pretending I was at Disney. The 45 seconds or so was a nice break of reality during this shit storm the world is going through.
Ozzie Alarcon Me: ok, Corona, we're going on a rooooooollller coooaster!
Corona(scared) I don't wanna go the roller coaster!
Me: you should have thought about that when shutting down the earth!
@@wii1245 covid cancelled my grad grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr
Well now I know it’s just the start of this ride that freaks me out awesome video
I rode this as a kid and shut my eyes the entire ride. I was/still am afraid of roller coasters but this one always seemed tame. Now I know why! Thanks to the OP!
Such a fun ride, even better with the lights off.
I remember riding this as a cast member with the lights on and remembering how we all thought it looked so much more bland but it’s STILL a rush!
Me watching this to convince myself “it’s not gonna be that bad”
Edit: I ended up riding the roller coaster was rlly fun the only part I didn’t like was the beginning
It won’t be. After the launch it’s smooth sailing. Not even really that intense.
Me I would be screaming let’s get this show on the road. I love Aerosmith and Disney
Best part is the initial takeoff and first loop, that and the music the whole time. Great ride!
Been thinking about doing this one. Thanks for posting it
This was the first looping coaster I ever road! So much fun, and the theming was excellent
This is a pretty intense roller coaster. If you can handle this, you could definitely handle Busch Gardens!
@@bobbyc1120 Bush Gardens What? I know it's in Tampa Bay, but there's another one in Williamsburg, Virginia. People reading the message are probably confused if they only know the Bush Gardens in Williamsburg.
Tripped me out b/c that "going dowwwwwnn" at 1:38 plays on x2 at magic mountain when you hit the first drop
The Magic Boy except on x2 you actually “go down”
@@wyattandrew438 lmao
Rock n' roller coaster with lights on is being called Xpress platform 13
Oh boy is it faster than it looks one of the best rides I’ve ever ridden
It’s nice to watch it with light ..My son and I got on that ride . It was really good ..and fast 💨 . Can’t wait to go back to Disney world , these places bring out my inner child.
I still remember getting on this, this was the first time I had ever been on a Roller Coaster that went upside down. I had until then been scared of that. Since this is inside a building, I didn't know that it went upside down until I got strapped into the seat and the announcement said something about keeping your hands inside because the track has loops and I was like WHAT! NO lol. But I did it anyway and loved it, been on as many roller coasters that have loops as much as I could since then.
Same here. I first rode when I was six, This ride pretty much shaped me into an enthusiast
Same, this ride was the first ride I ever went on with inversions, I’m from the UK so a few months when we came back we went to Alton towers for my brothers birthday. I rode the smiler 3 times that day.
This is the type of roller coaster where you can never put your hands up or out of the cart
I’ve done it.
Here's something even more terrifying to do for some people: Don't hold onto the restraint. It's amazing especially on the inversions
@@bt2149 For me it’s an instinct lol
Aerosmith bring my favorite band and this being my favorite roller coaster, 10/10
I've rode this ride with the lights on and it's a pretty damn cool experience, probably one of my favorite rides of all time
This is definitely on my top 3 Disney world rides!! It’s awesome😆
You can also watch an Xpress platform 13 onride walibi holland because they are the same because they are not custom tracks
Mostly, I don't believe XP13 has the split unloading/loading stations? But otherwise the course is the same.
@@DT-hg7te true, well 't has but is not used becouse it operates with a max of 2 trains (rnr with a max of 6)
@@miwer1000 You can't run 6 trains et once on RNRC, max 5, and for the one in paris you'll never see the 5 running, only 4.
@@LoskLive my bad. But still the Xpress in walibi holland wich is a copy of this one can only run 2
@@miwer1000 Yes, bc Xpress dosen't have as much bloc sections as Disney's RNRC.
And Walibi make it clear that, for some coasters to be enjoyable, they *need* scenery.
This was probably the best rollercoaster I have ever been on or at least top 3. That Aerosmith stitch was also awesome
If any of you are first time riders, listen to this. I just went on the ride today (it was my first time) and it was probably one of the best rides at Disney world!! I know it seems scary jetting off like that in the beginning, but trust me you won’t regret it. The flips, you barely feel and after the first flip you’ll just want to keep doing it over and over again!! Just have fun, relax, take deep breaths, and enjoy the ride!
any drops ?
@@smokeyrodri8450hell yea
@@smokeyrodri8450 I remember only one somewhat noticeable drop, but it wasn’t intense at all! (This is coming from someone who despises drops lol)
Splash mountain gave me nightmares as a kid, but this isn’t so bad. Give it a try!
@@GuitarHorse98 I absolutely hate drops too. but I'm scared of roller coasters in general. so I don't know how I'd react to the Gs from the corkscrews etc. and it goes upside down too. sucks bc I wanna ride it. 🙃
I love this roller coaster the music the velocity and the decoration In my case is the best. I having the opportunity to ride this roller coaster in february 2023.
First I went on it I was nervous, even though I’d been on bigger and equally as fast launch’s. When I got in there was an immediate delay then we went round the corner. Bro the count down made my heart race so fast. No cap the launch is just too good and the music is legendary
Yes. I remember in 09 the launch was random there wasn't a countdown. But at some point they put that countdown in. I went again in 15. However they did make the launch happen at 1 instead of 0 or go to still keep it a bit surprising. Glad they didn't completely ruin the launch aspect
I keep my eyes closed pretty much the whole time on this ride lol
Girlfriend did that on Test Track once we roared outside. I said honey, you drive like this all the time anyway. My stitches come out soon.
I love this ride so much. I hope they never close it!
Ok so I just rode this for the first time, and it was.. FANTASTIC! I eventually rode it another time. Honestly, I regret not riding this sooner But this is my first looping coaster so I’m glad I waited till I was fully ready. The loops were surprisingly not bad at all. It feels like your flying yet being pushed in/out of your seat and you take a HUGE turn to the sides. This definitely bumped up to be my second favorite ride at Disney and I’m so excited to ride it again! :D
Glad you enjoyed the ride! It’s a great experience. And yes Coaster inversions usually aren’t bad. They’re designed with G forces in mind so you stay in your seat and it doesn’t make you sick. If you look at an average vertical loop you’ll notice it’s not a perfect circle but shaped more Ike an upside down teardrop. This is to accommodate for the forces and gravity.
Drops make my stomach turn. You are in the loop for less than a second so by the time you realize your upside down its already over
one time at disneyland paris my brother took his phone out to record so mid countdown they stopped the ride and told him to put it away. basically, the whole ride was now out of sync so we launched completely unexpectedly then rode the rest of the ride with zero music. i already had so much adrenaline from the out of the blue launch but the creepiness of a silent rollercoaster which is normally upbeat and rockin just added to it. best rollercoaster experience of my life.
Oh yes! What you experienced is called a launch inhibit. The launch sequence is manually activated by a cast member in the control booth. However if they see someone with their phone out or other loose items they will inhibit the ride and tell you to put the item away. However usually the music still works so that’s an odd glitch.
Thank god this exists cause I was so disoriented the whole time and had my eyes closed from the speed
I had no clue what year I was in
one time i went and we waited in line for like an hour and a half and right when we got to the part where we get on, i had a panic attack and didnt get on. so, i waited an hour and a half for nothing 😁
[clicks on the video] Damn, that's a short roller-coaster!
[ride doesn't begin until 1/3 into the video] That's a REALLY short roller-coaster!
yea and neither does cheetah hunt, and that ride still has a good length timewise and literally.
My heart was beating fast even tho I wasn’t even there
This is my favorite ride at Disney, and last year it was my very first in show exit! That's one item off my Disney bucket list.
In show exit on Rock N Rollercoaster? How did that work?
@@caseykauffman1006 the ride had just finished, but we were not moving. A cast member came by and hung out with us for about 5 - 10 minutes. Then it was announced that we had to evacuate, so row by row they released the restraints and got everyone out in an orderly fashion. We then had to walk through the are where the ride takes place with the lights on. It was awesome to see that ride is in such a small place. (It's also used for storage lol.) We pretty much walked backwards to the entrance. So cool.
I love this ride so much. I go to Disney with my family every year. Great ride
Imagine waiting 12 hours for a rollercoaster with lights on
You’ve waited 12 hours for rides before? What parks are you going to?
You’re welcome (; it’s Charlie on my RNRC channel btw)
I forgot to mention you found it lol
ProjectSunset it’s ok
I went on this when I was 7 years old having no clue what it was and it was the worst experience of my life 😭😂
the seats in this ride are actually rlly comforting
one of the best rides I've ever been on. I love everything down to the line queue
My husband and I just went on this a couple months ago and he loved it but I almost threw up 😂 Dark rides that go upside down arent my thing! 😂
stay home
I would love to ride RRC with the lights on
It would be an interesting experience
@@Theme_parchive there is a coaster in the netherlands called Xpress platform 13 and it is the rock n rollercoaster in open air. its in a park called walibi holland (former six flags)
CEO OF SLEEPING yeah didn’t it open in 2000 as Superman?
Soooo the people I was with lied to me and said this was a gentle simulator where you just drive around a city. They were like “oh no it’s fine it’s really gentle and you don’t go upside down or anything.” (I didn’t own a phone yet, otherwise I would’ve totally looked it up). No one told me to put my head back so it slammed into the seat when we accelerated and I was out. I came back around the 1:15 part of the ride. I had to lay down for 10 minutes after going on the ride because I have a condition that makes it too dangerous for me to go on a ride with inversions. So yeah I have fond memories of this... not 😂
Yeah a ride called “ Rock N Roller Coaster” is definitely not a simulation lol. That’s a mean trick your friends played on you
Take them to six flags and put a blindfold over their eyes. Tell them you're going to get some ice cream
Same thing happened to me but on avengers flight force
went on this a few weeks ago. I'm known in my family for backing out of rides/being scared of them. My sister said there weren't any inversions, just a super fast coaster and in all fairness i believed her. after going on it i would do it again super fun for tourists (like myself) would reccomend especially if you don't go to WDW very often. A must see definetely a large wait but well worth
I just watch these videos for fun who does to? And also, this is the BEST Hollywood coaster I’ve ever seen!
