WOW! Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney World will close for a very long time
The closure is expected to last several months. Yikes!
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
Many people love to ride this thrilling coaster, which launches guests in a "stretch limo" from 0 to 60 in a matter of seconds.
Inside their Hollywood music studio, legendary rock band Aerosmith is wrapping up a recording session. When their manager tells them they're late for a concert across town, the band invites you to ride along.
Hop into their gleaming limousine and speed off into the night as Aerosmith's hard-rock harmonies fill the air. Buckle up before zooming through the city on this roller-coaster style attraction.
Speed through iconic Hollywood landmarks. Maneuver past traffic jams and swoop into 3 thrilling inversions-2 rollover loops and one corkscrew-as the wind races across your face.
Closure
The attraction will for several months beginning in February 2023. It will close on February 20, 2023, but so far we do not have an exact reopening date. However, the closure is expected to last into the summer of 2023.
We hope that provides a little information so you can plan your spring and summer trips.
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will close on February 20, 2023 for several months. No reopening date is known at this time.
Issues with the ride?
You may be wondering why Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will undergo such a long closure. There is no indication from Disney that this is a reimagining or retheme of the ride, so we can all collectively breathe a sigh of relief.
However, the ride does experience downtime quite often. For example, it was closed for almost a week at the beginning of 2021! Some type of fire also occurred just over a year ago.
It's quite obvious the work needed will be extensive, so prepare to not be able to ride it in just a few months. You can also expect wait times for other attractions to increase as well with one less ride up and going.
What do you think of this closure? Does this affect your plans at Hollywood Studios at all? Let us know in the comments below and on Facebook.
I referenced that is the the worst at all parks. I am well aware where the ride is located....
I think Disney is going off the deep end. Too many changes & negativity. Prices are skyrocketing that I can’t afford to take my family there as I was going to in late 2024. My 1st grandson will not experience the fun I had the times I was there. So sad.
Maybe they ran out of back stage passes
Wonder if this will be re-themed in light of Stephen Tyler's alleged sexual assault claim.
Coming in March 2023. This is the first I've heard of this closure. I am truly disappointed, Rock n' Roller Coaster is one of my favorites at WDW. Also, this is the first trip for my younger daughter to WDW and I was really hoping that she could experience this ride. Major bummer Disney. You folks need to get your act together, especially for the high prices you're charging!
Cosmic Rewind is now my new favorite but I hope they don’t change the theme.
What political issues? Do you mean that Disney tries to make everyone comfortable no matter what race, religion or how they identify. That’s your issue?
Sad it is closing down it is one of my favorite attractions. With that being said I will probably not be visiting Disney anytime soon because of all the political issues. I feel Disney should concentrate on family and kids only.
It's not even at DL/CA lmao
GOOD! This is one of the worst attractions at WDW and DL/CA.
Honestly, when was Aerosmith relevant. Hit it with a shot of something with some meaning that people will actually want to ride. So much you can do with the IP's and a dark coaster....DIE HARD - ALIENS - PREDATOR put some grown up magic in there!
Disney please don’t re- theme this ride!! Disney to me has always been” something for everyone” kind of place but has become less of that in the past few years! Stop the insanity!!
I am coming to WDW for my 50th birthday 5 days after it closes. It is one of my favorite rides. Sad I won't be able to ride it on my birthday.
I am coming to Walt Disney world in February 2023 .I'm sad I won't be able to ride RnR this upcoming visit.
It's one of my favorite rides as well!
