Rock n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith

The G-Force records bring home the thrill, speed, and rock on Rock n’ Roller featuring Aerosmith! If you love rock, particularly Aerosmith, this ride will blow your mind. From the queue to the ride itself, it keeps the excitement of its visitors rolling. On this ride, you will speed through town in your V.I.P super-stretch vehicle while listening to Aerosmith’s original hits!

Location

Rock n’ Roller Coaster is located at Walt Disney’s Hollywood Studios. To get there, you must walk towards the Tower of Terror, but before you turn right to find the line, take a left. You will see an upside-down car riding on guitar strings.

What Age is it Best for?

I recommend this ride for 11 year olds and up for two reasons. One, the ride may be too loud and intense for the younger crowd. Two, younger kids do not appreciate the greatness of rock ‘n roll as much as the older crowd.

How to Ride

There are three ways to ride Rock n’ Roller Coaster. First through the standby line. For this ride, it is usually one of the longer waits at Hollywood Studios. I wouldn’t recommend waiting more than 100 minutes for this attraction (the wait usually goes down). Warning, part of the wait is in the sun, so it can get very hot on a Florida summer day. Good news, it gets better once you are in the shade and under the fans, or even better inside in the air conditioning.

Will I get Motion Sickness on this Ride?

This ride is super fast, and is constantly whizzing past glow-in-the-dark objects… so you most likely will get motion sickness. In fact, my brother who doesn’t usually get motion sickness got a bit light-headed after doing it two times.

What Items Can I Take on This Ride?

Honestly, they are very loose about what you can bring onto this ride. I have always brought my mini backpack onto the ride with no problem. For bags (even full-size backpacks) you will stow them at your feet. I would usually wrap the straps around my legs for extra protection. They will ask you to remove any loose items like glasses, ears, and hats, and stow them in the pouch in front of you. This pouch is not very big, so if you are able I would recommend bringing a bag to put these small items in.

How Many People Fit it a Row?

Two people fit in a row on Rock n’ Roller coaster. There are 12 rows to one “super-stretch” limo, so your party will be in the same limo unless you have for then 24 people in your party. I would not recommend going into the single rider line, because your group will be split up. The wait is not guaranteed to be much short, in fact, it may be even longer.

Are there Ride Photos Available?

There are ride photos available. The picture is taken right at the start as you speed off. Me, my brother, and my sister usually come up with a pose to do in the line. For this ride we do our best funny pose or… we look simply bored. I will warn you that posing is much harder than it looks, especially when you go from speed 0 to 57 mph in 3 seconds for the boost off.

Accessibility

For wheelchair users, you are able to go through both the standby line or the lighting lane. You should be cautious with this ride, the style of it may worsen your condition. If your condition won’t be worsened, you must transition into the ride cart. Cast members will provide help for you as you are loading and unloading the ride.

Insider Tips

There are several things you should know before getting on this ride:

  • There is a studio where you will see Aerosmith and their manager get ready to leave for a concert. However, they are devastated to leave their fans (us) abruptly. During this time, most people push forward to get a better view of the crew, but I would recommend moving to the far left towards the door. If you do this, you will bypass the group of people as you form a line again.
  • I seriously recommend doing a group pose as the ride boosts off! Purchasing the ride photo will keep the memory of this rock adventure alive!

Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear Sharing some of my favorite AMAZON dresses to wear to the Disney parks! I like wearing lightweight dresses that feel casual but also a little bit princessy. And why not!? All linked in my Amazon shop. Find it in my stories and in my profile.
Comments overhead while walking around the Polynes Comments overhead while walking around the Polynesian Resort with 40th birthday balloons: “40 was ok. 50 killed me.” “No way! 40?” “4 was a good year. Oh, there’s a zero!” “Have a magical day!” and “Wait, when is your birthday again?” (said by my 15 year old son). Happy birthday to me! I’m officially 40!! 😆🥳
Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel Why should you choose to stay at @grandlegacyhotel while visiting Disneyland?? Here’s a few reasons we love it:

💜 Walkability - We did not rent a car while we were in Anaheim. Grand Legacy is literally across the street from Disneyland, and just a couple blocks away from countless shops and restaurants. 
💜 Value - You can’t beat the price when you look at all you get while staying at Grand Legacy compared to other area hotels.
💜 Amenities - Our luxury plus room included a mini fridge, coffee maker and microwave, which is almost a necessity when staying multiple days. There are also beverages and snacks in the lobby, a pool, hot tub, and laundry facilities.
💜 Great for Families - We have stayed here with our family as well. There are lots of great options for families, including connecting rooms.
💜 View - There are many spots on property where you can view the Disneyland fireworks at night. Even though our room was not advertised as a firework view room, we were still able to catch a glimpse of them. There are rooms available with even better views of the theme parks and fireworks. We also enjoyed watching the fireworks from up top at @thefifthoc where they dim the lights and play Disneyland music during the show.

I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home I felt like this footage deserved a permanent home in my feed 😆 Pay close attention to Jay’s face as he prepares to ride Rise of the Resistance for the first time!! This ride has remained my favorite ride at Disney World since it opened but I have never been able to convince Jay to ride it. He does tend to get motion sickness on rides, and had said he would ride it if the wait was less than 10 minutes. I figured that meant he would never get to ride it, but the other night after a storm, the park had cleared out and we saw a 10 minute wait right before closing!! Jay now says it’s his favorite ride ever - his previous favorite was Frozen 😁

Thank you @disneyparks for hosting us at an awesome Ahsoka Tano fan event last night to celebrate the release of @ahsokaofficial on @disneyplus 

We bounded as some of our favorite characters, built a droid and rode the best ride in the galaxy (Rise of the Resistance), before grabbing some blue milk and screening the first two episodes of Ahsoka, the new series coming to Disney Plus August 23rd. You are going to LOVE this show! 

To end the night, we all gathered in front of the Millennium Falcon to light up our Ahsoka sabers! 🧡

First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everyt First time in Vegas! It’s been fun to see everything, but in reality, we came for the cheap flights and close proximity to the National Parks 😆 We’re celebrating our anniversary today with dinner at the (Vegas) Eiffel Tower, but we’ve been on the go everyday seeing the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree, and Zion National Park! The heat is no joke, it has actually made me appreciate the weather in Florida 🤣

Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a g Our 20th anniversary trip is officially off to a great start!! We are so thankful to be here together. When we first started talking about going away for our anniversary, we were coming out of an incredibly challenging time in our life and barely making ends meet. Our best idea was to attend a timeshare presentation to get a free hotel stay (anyone else been there? 🙋🏻‍♀️). We’re grateful for some very special people in our life that encouraged us to make plans and helped make it possible to think a little bit bigger. We will be packing in as much fun as we can, with a road trip to Palm Springs, Vegas, the Grand Canyon, Joshua Tree and Zion National Park. We added on a stop at Disneyland and are proud to be partnering with the @grandlegacyhotel for the next couple days. This is our second time staying here, but the first time without kids!! We love the Grand Legacy because it is stylish and modern, but also affordable. It’s located RIGHT across the street from Disneyland and just a block from all kinds of shopping and entertainment. They had a beautiful anniversary basket waiting for us when we arrived and we enjoyed dinner with a fireworks view last night at @thefifthoc ✨
We tried the infamous dill pickle milkshake at the We tried the infamous dill pickle milkshake at the EPCOT International Food and Wine Festival! It’s one of those things that you just have to try! We were surprised how NOT disgusting it was. It started sweet and has an interesting flavor, but it wasn’t terrible. Find it at the Brew-Wing Lab at the Odyssey. Which is a cute, Muppet, themed food lab with all kinds of tasty concoctions!
