Walt Disney World offers guests so many exciting and thrilling attractions such as Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom, Expedition Everest in Animal Kingdom, and The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. And Speaking of Hollywood studios, this park has quite possibly the most thrilling roller coaster of all the four theme parks.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is an intense, fast-paced experience like no other on-property. Featuring multiple inversions and a nearly 0-60 miles per hour launch, this ride is a blast from beginning to end. However, aside from some lights and signs, the entire adventure takes place in complete darkness.
Getting to see a classic Disney ride/attraction with the work lights on is a point of pride for many die hard fans, though this rarely happens on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. With little time left to enjoy the ride before it closes, lots of fans may never get to see Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starting Aerosmith with the lights on. However, thanks to a couple of years-old fan submissions, we’ve got you covered.
Thanks to pictures and descriptions provided by Manny Goulart and Linda Martin following a breakdown and evacuation, we have some incredibly rare views of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster you just don’t get to see every day. Linda Martin explained exactly what happened:
On Monday Rock n roll roller coaster broke down. We did single rider. My husband’s car was stuck at the very top.(thankful it wasn’t me)and mine was stuck at the bottom. I still got to walk through the ride with the lights on. The first 2 pictures are his at the top the others are mine. Best part is we each got 2 multi experience passes.
Manny Goulart, another one of the many riders to get stuck, shared their take on what happened:
So this happened yesterday at HS, Aerosmithbroke down at the very top, interesting walk down to the bottom with the lights on…
Both guests were unsure of what caused the stop, but that didn’t deter them from taking some incredible photos and videos as they exited Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster.
This incident happened back in 2021. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has remained relatively untouched in the years since, but this all changes soon with Disney set to retheme the iconic coaster. The new version of the ride will feature the Muppets as they take riders on a familiar yet new high-speed musical adventure.
