We just got back from DLP and there was no reference to Aerosmith on the Rock 'n Rollercoaster (apart from signage). The pre show wasn't running and there was no music on the ride. We seem to remember it was like that last year.
Are Aerosmith no longer connected with the ride?
There was rumour a while ago that Aerosmith were pulling out, however I would of thought it'd either go down for proper re-theme or have backup music.
How long did it not have anything for?
It was all still working first week of August!
It must have just been a bad day for the ride. The shop at the end of the ride that sells Aerosmith stuff was shut too.
This was the 12th.
I think the contract between the park and Aerosmith may have expired. It's a shame
I will be very, very disappointed if this happens during our visit.
I'd read about the contract ending, cant recall the date, but OMG it won't be the same ride AT ALL if they arent featured.
If Disney are discontinuing the connection then the ride should have already been changed to remove all Aerosmith branding etc...not just 'Oh let's wing it and to Hell with Guests thought on the matter' Grrrrr :evil:

What about the photo service? You should have asked someone. Maybe they would have given you a satisfying answer...
I really hope this was just a coincidence! I also can't imagine this to be planned! Visitors expect an Aerosmith themed ride. Contracts do not run out without not knowing..
I'll be honest I've never been on the ride as have a back problem that means the launch style roller coasters and I don't get along, I wish I could though as everytime I think do i?
You probably had bad luck. This even happened to us while riding RNRC in Florida.
Fear not! aerosmith theme was there yesterday including pre-show, music etc.
However, they really need to do something about the audio system! Our first ride the speakers sounded broken and were only playing the top end treble faintly, our 2nd ride it sounded fine and loud whilst it was working but cut out multiple times around the ride.
Rode it several times the week after and everything worked fine! The shop was closed though. But there were a few changes concerning opening times in general (although it was high season)- may be due to financial reasons?
The shop was already closed back in July! I do have some mixed experienes with RNRC as I've ridden it without music as well...
Our visit was 15th-18th and the pre show was working, the shop was open, the speakers were AOK.
However, the ride did break down once, that we know of.
The state of the trains in Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is a disgrace!
For the past year the Audio has been finicky on the majority of the trains not working more than they are working.
Some coasters would be able to get away with this, but Rock 'n' Roller Coaster completely realises on it's audio, experiencing it without sound makes it a pretty poor coaster. Just last week myself and Girlfriend went on it twice with no audio and was literally able to have a conversation for the entire ride after the launch sequence.
Each time I experience this I go to guest relations and write out a letter for them, the Cast Members said they pass on the message to the attractions management, it was not the first time reported to them that day and that the more people that complain on paper equals the more likely chance of anything being done about it.
I can understand an odd off day where one of the trains might be playing silly buggers but I have witnessed this consistently for the last year. On the other side of things, I have never once experienced this in Walt Disney World's (older) version of the ride and the on board audio on Space Mountain: Mission 2 seems to work consistently.
In my opinion, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster should not be operating in it's current state which is a shame as it got a great lighting upgrade not too long ago.
All the times I have been on this coaster, I had audio, light effects and preshow working perfectly fine, the only öproblem I ever had was after my last go, the security bar wouldn't open, so the CM had ev eryboda except me and my poor seat neighbour exit and then use the fppt pedal at the back of the train to unlock the bar.
Last time I went June, the audio was off, it was really disappointing after riding it several times in a row on a previous holiday and loving it every time.
Only managed to ride it once last visit as the three other times we were waiting it broken down so just had a disappointing experience of it last time (and most of the holiday to be honest but i wont go into it)
Hopefully it'll be all systems go when we go again in December and it doesn't turn into Space Mountain where Iv just come to expect the audio not to work properly.
(I really wish they would sort that out, it was the worlds first rollercoaster with on board Audio but now it doesn't work)
We were there from 28th Oct to 1st November, went on this ride at least 3 times a day and the audio only worked the first time we went on :'( it is still a good ride but the audio makes sooo much difference!!
Pre show was working last week, but no music on ride and the shop was shut too.

I went on it last weekend (Sunday March 16th) and the music was working fine.
The shop has been closed for months and is completely empty. It's not re-opening for a while.
On my visit I rode twice on 20th march and music was on I remember singing along throughout :)
Allthough the ride experienced a few technical problems and was closed 18-19th and luckily opend on our last day! But last year there was no music at all all 3 times I had gone on. Who knows!?
Just checked the week we are going & rock n roller coaster is shut the whole week. nooooo :'(
last time i was there, they had some technical issues...after standing in line vor 30 minutes:(
Everything worked perfectly last Thursday! It was brilliant!! I love Aerosmith!!! 😁
I rode this last weds and no music :( not good!
It does make all the difference!

Well let's face it, without the Rock 'n' Roll, it's just a 'Coaster. We can ride those in lots of other parks; it's the music that makes this ride (hence the name!?!)
