Rock 'n' Roller Coaster 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 sea serpent and a corkscrew.
The first iteration, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, featured recorded music and appearances from American rock band Aerosmith. A second installation with an identical track layout opened within Disneyland Paris as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith in time for the opening of Walt Disney Studios Park on March 16, 2002. The attraction was later re-themed to Avengers Assemble: Flight Force as part of the new Avengers Campus at the park. The original iteration at Disney's Hollywood Studios closed on March 2, 2026.
The second iteration, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, featuring music from Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem from The Muppets, is set to open in Summer 2026.
