What is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster?

The attraction begins with guests getting a glimpse into the sound booth at the fictional G-Force Records. There you see the classic rock band Aerosmith finishing up a studio recording session. It seems as though the band is actually interacting with you –- and before you know it, you’ve been invited by lead singer Steven Tyler himself to a concert! The show starts soon — but don’t worry, they got you a really fast car.

From the pre-show area, you’re ushered into what appears to be a darkened back alleyway, where you await a “Super Stretch” limo. The 24-passenger limo screeches to a halt in front of you and you board, securing yourself with a padded u-bar.

After a few moments of excruciating build-up, you are finally launched (0 to 60mph in 2.8 seconds!) into the wild ride, swiftly accelerating into the imagined Hollywood night to the pulsating Aerosmith music. The 90 second coaster features a corkscrew double twist, and an upside down loop. The  ride is quite dark, so that you can’t make out what twists or turns are ahead of you, but it does feature individually lit Southern California landmarks, such as signs for Hollywood and the famous Roxy Theatre. After just a few minutes, you find yourself at the “concert”, your destination, where you disembark into the gift shop.

Will Rock ‘n’ Roller Cause Motion Sickness?

The ride features high speeds, sharp turns, and fully going upside down. If a high speed roller coaster causes you motion sickness, this is likely not the ride for you.
