As another iconic Disney attraction sets closing dates for some much-needed refurbishment, another round of rumors about its future has emerged and been debunked.
This time it is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios who is joining several others of its kin in Magic Kingdom Park, EPCOT, and Disney’s Animal Kingdom in a temporary closure and is becoming the subject of rumors.

The iconic indoor roller coaster starring Aerosmith is expected to close in late February 2023 and is expected to reopen again in the Summer of 2023. But the state of the coaster has been in question, especially after its variant at the Disneyland Paris Resort was converted into a brand new attraction for Marvel’s Avengers Campus at Walt Disney Studios Park.
Rumors of Aerosmith’s departure have been a recurring theme of Disney Fan discussions for some time, but once again, it appears that Disney has once again put those rumors to bed.
Disney World states on its website:
Beginning February 20, 2023, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will be temporarily closed for refurbishment. This rocktastic attraction will resume its super-stretch limo rides in summer 2023.
Positioned on Sunset Boulevard next to The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is one of the oldest attractions still in operation at Disney’s rapidly changing Theme Park. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is also the only roller coaster on Walt Disney World property that goes upside down.
