![]() The guests on the attraction experience 4.5 Gs, more than an astronaut does on a space shuttle launch.Īerosmith band members Steve Tyler and Joe Perry rode the attraction twelve times in a row and made several changes primarily to the recording studio pre-show to make it more realistic including the location of the guitars. G-Force (with the “g” from “gravitational”) is a measurement of type of acceleration that causes weight like during a rocket launch. Today at G-Force many of the top recording stars can be found using the state of the art facilities. ![]() Over time G-Force as a business began to re-emerge and rebuilt the existing studio, adding a giant forty-foot Stratocaster as its icon. The hotel was closed and the public felt that somehow G-Force was responsible and their record sales plummeted. While throwing a party at the neighboring Hollywood Tower Hotel (Twilight Zone Tower of Terror), a strange incident occurred where lightning struck the building and five hotel guests mysteriously disappeared. Things however took a turn for the worse on Halloween night 1939. (The intercom calls for people are the names of Imagineers who worked on the attraction.) G-Force was known for attracting the best of the best in recording artists and became a growing force in the industry. The queue line is themed to G-Force records, a fictional record company that was supposedly started in the 1930s. To justify having such an attraction in an area themed to 1940s Hollywood, the Imagineers came up with an interesting storyline that neither the guests nor the cast ever adopted and has been largely ignored and forgotten. “So, 24 guests at a time,” stated lead designer Jim Shull, “we pile you, the fans, into an enormous stretch limo – and you’re off.” The members refuse to go to the show unless their loyal fans get to go as well. Suddenly, the group’s harried manager (actress Illeana Douglas) rushes in and announces that the band is running late. “The idea behind the ride is that guests just stepped into a recording studio where Aerosmith is rehearsing for an awards show. ![]() The attraction is a steel roller coaster created by the Vekoma Rides Manufacturing company that begins with powerful linear synchronous motors (LSM) that catapult the super stretch limo vehicle inspired by the design of a 1962 Cadillac from 0 to 57 miles per hour in just 2.8 seconds into a giant cobra roll and later a corkscrew inversion. Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster with Aerosmith opened at Disney’s Hollywood Studios July 29, 1999. “Coming up with a soundtrack for this Disney ride really brought the kid out in all of us and has given us the opportunity to play audio gymnastics with our music.” “When you’ve toured the world as much as we have, it’s a real thrill to find a new audience,” said lead singer of the band Aerosmith Steve Tyler in July 1999. ![]() Welcome back to Fridays with Jim Korkis!
