The five members of rock band Aerosmith, Steven Tyler, vocals; Joe Perry,
guitars; Brad Whitford, guitars; Tom Hamilton, bass; and Joey Kramer,
drums, have teamed with Walt Disney Imagineering to create a high-speed
thrill ride for Walt Disney World Resort in Orlando, Florida, called Rock
'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith. It debuts this summer at Disney-MGM
Studios. The indoor roller coaster features a high-speed launch of 0-60 mph
in 2.8 seconds, three inversions, rock-concert lighting and a specially
created Aerosmith soundtrack blasting from 120 onboard speakers in each
coaster train. Formed in the early 1970s in Boston, Aerosmith's songs
include "Nine Lives" and "A Little South of Sanity," and "I Don't Want to
Miss a Thing" from the ARMAGGEDON soundtrack.
