A long Disney World refurbishment has FINALLY ended!
Rock is BACK!
Hollywood Studios’ Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith bid adieu for a long maintenance and refurbishment project in January, and remained closed for the duration of the year since. Initially, the coaster was listed as reopening in the “summer of 2024.” In late spring, Walt Disney World’s calendar was updated to show the ride would first be operating on July 27th. Last week, that changed to July 1st, which was the date we were “sure” of… until this weekend.
