 Review of Rockn Roller Coaster @ Disney-MGM Studios

Date Ridden: 1-1-2008 Times RIdden - Once in the back seat. Hmmmmm.....this ride seems to receive either outstanding reviews or poor reviews so Ill try to shed a little light on why I think its pretty good. First, the launch is excellent. I prefer the back part of the train (limo in this instance) on launched coasters because to me it makes the launch seem longer and faster. The launch compares favorable to that of the Flight of Fear rides at KD and KI in that you are blasted into darkness. Entering the trains and beginning the ride builds up a great deal of anticipation for what is a very good launch. The ride itself is solid with only a few cases of minor head or ear banging. I once again used what I call "The Turtle Method" to avoid getting my ears bashed too badly. The ride theme is excellent, the soundtrack is outstanding (if you like Aerosmith obviously....the song I heard on my ride was Dude Looks Like a Lady) and the entire experience is a pleasurable one. I felt the pre-show was lacking as the band performs much better as musicians than they do as actors. However, at least there is an attempt made to theme the ride and it does rate as well above average. Ill give this an 8 but I do not think it is on par with Everest or California Screamin. It is more of a 7.5 type of ride but Ill go with an 8. Make sure to get your fast pass or make use of the single rider line. With this ride being close to Tower of Terror it is easy to knock off both of these attractions at once. I would recommend getting your fast pass for this ride (the wait is usually longer here) and then riding TOT which I think is better anyway. Just a suggestion that we found worked well. Thanks for reading....Im headed back to Orlando/Tampa to visit Busch, IOA and Sea World over MLK weekend. I should have some reviews of those rides with hopefully a review of what I think is the best woodie in Florida. And I also have a big review to write up later on concerning a superb theme park attraction. I need some time for it though......

Well i can see why you gave it an 8... you rode it in the back. If (when) you go back, ask for the front.

I unfortunately have never experienced the back on this coaster since last week while I was there it had a horrid standby wait (70+ minutes) so I used the single rider line and got assigned a seat towards the front.
