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?
