Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Avec Aerosmith
Disney Adventure World Paris · Backlot
Overview
Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Avec Aerosmith was the park's signature launch coaster, sending riders from a standstill to 92 km/h in 2.8 seconds — a stretch limousine racing through Los Angeles to an Aerosmith concert — before looping through inversions and corkscrews in near-total darkness, synced to the band's music blasting through onboard speakers. For 17 years it was the park's thrill-coaster centerpiece.
ParksLog verdict
Widely missed by fans of the original theme, even though the same track lives on as Avengers Assemble: Flight Force — and its launch-and-inversion combo, synced tightly to Aerosmith's music, is still brought up by longtime guests as a genuine high point of the original park.
