Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Located?
|
| On Sunset Boulevard, across from
the Tower of Terror. |
| What
are the heigh requirements? |
| Guests must be at
least 48" tall to ride. |
| How bad/scary/intense
is the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster? |
| There is no definite answer as
it varies from person to person. Your shot from 0-60 mph
in around 4 or 5 seconds. That stat might scare you, but
most people agree that the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is
one of the smoothest coasters. Unlike Space Mountain where
your whipped around corners at a moments notice, the Rock
'n' Roller Coaster is much more fluid in its motion. There
are however loops and corkscrews. Again, many don't complain
about it. If your just scared of the entire notion, or
one part of it, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is a great way
to overcome that fear. |
| Is there
anyway to see the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster but not actually
ride it? |
| Yes, there is a "chicken
exit" right as you are to board the coaster. When
the Cast Member asks you how many in your party, indicate
you do not wish to ride and they will escort you through
a door that leads to the gift shop. |
| What
Aerosmith Songs can be heard on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster? |
| Dude (Looks Like a Lady), Walk
this Way, Love in an Elevator(which has been changed to
'Love in a Roller Coaster' as you pull in to the station
at the end of the ride), Sweet Emotion, Young Lust, F.I.N.E.,
Back in the Saddle, and Nine Lives have been heard. Plus,
What Kind of Love are You On? is played in the event of
a failure. |

| What
is the seating arrangement? |
| There are
2 seats per row, 4 seats per car and 6 cars per train(24
seats total). |
| How many
G-forces are experienced during launch? |
| According
to published specifications, guests are subjected to between
4 and 5 Gs entering the first inversion. The range is
mostly due to variations in seat location and partly due
to train weight and friction. |
| Is there
a place to stowe my stuff? |
| A
Cast Member said because of the G force (centrifugal)
that bags will not fall out if you place them at the bottom.
A good idea may be to place your items in a bag, place
it on the floor and then put one of the bag harnesses
through your leg. |
| How is
the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster launhed? |
| The
Rockin' Roller Coaster is a LSM launched coaster, which

train itself. |
