Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is an indoor launched roller coaster located at Disney's Hollywood Studios within Walt Disney World. Manufactured by Vekoma, the roller coaster opened to the public on July 29, 1999. It uses linear motor electromagnetic technology for acceleration, which propels riders from 0 to 57 mph (92 km/h) in 2.8 seconds. Riders experience up to 5 Gs and travel through three inversions, which include a rollover and a corkscrew. The attraction also features recorded music and appearances from American rock band Aerosmith.
A second installation with an identical track layout opened as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith at Walt Disney Studios Park within Disneyland Paris on March 16, 2002. It closed in September 2019 for a planned transformation, reopening as Avengers Assemble: Flight Force in 2022 as part of the new Avengers Campus themed land at the park.
In November 2024, Disney announced that the attraction would be re-themed to the Muppets following the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D and the Muppet Courtyard.[1]
