Seems if they get a different theming than in Florida..

i have a pic (not on my computer) of construction goin down there! it looks really good. and i dont care if rnr is a clone, cause most of the people in france will not ride rnr at disney world.

That pic looks a lot like flordias version (not much to see though). I bet ya by not a clone is by its theaming, not layout.

You see, from the layout it is defenitly a clone. I didn´t say anything else and [url]www.dlp-guidebook.de[/url] didn´t also.

Why do Disney cover up their coasters like this?

I think that you are talking about making them enclosed and the do that caouse they don't want you to see a mass of track, cause will take a way from the theaming of the ride. Also coasters in the dark are so much better than ones in the light.

What they really said was: The track layout will be the same but the theming will be different...... Why don't you read the whole artical??

Covering the coasters keeps them open rain or shine and I hear that it rains a lot in Paris. That might be the reason.

1. So they can theme it extensively.
2. So rain (big factor in Florida) and snow (Paris) won't bother.

Sounds good up until the aerosmith part. Is this an arrow or vekoma or other?

its Vekoma and if it is anthing like the Flordia one it will be very smooth.

Huh? What are you talking about? There is a RnR clone at DLP. It opened in 1995 & is called "Space Mountain - From the Earth to the Moon."

Those photos are of RnR at MGM@DW. See how it has the square building around it. SM has a cone-shaped building.

Edit: I'm very confused, this [URL=http://www.coaster-network.com/bm/vekoma/rock.htm]page[/URL] on Fright Time lists it as a RnR Clone for '02. RCDb [URL=http://www.rcdb.com/installationdetail959.htm]lists[/URL] SM as an enclosed Vekoma triple looper built in '95. Yet the same site lists RnR at DLP as a [URL=http://www.rcdb.com/installationdetail1444.htm]clone[/URL] for '02. Lastly thispagecannotbedisplayed lists it as [URL=http://www.coasterpagecannotbedisplayed.net/coasters/coaster.asp?CoasterID=566]SM[/URL], a 1995 RnR clone.

Rock 'n' Roller coaster is nothing like Space Mountain! Let me list the coasters:

1. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Staring Aerosmith: Disney MGM Studios, Florida. It features 3 Inversion: 1 rollover(sea serpent) and a corkscrew. This is the same ride as "Superman: The Ride" at Six Flags Holland, only enclosed. It features a forward LSM/LIM launch from 0 to 57 mph in 2.8 seconds.

2. Rock 'n' Roller Coaster: Disneyland Paris, France. It is an exact clone of the one in Florida, and will open in 2002. The theming will be slightly diffrent, with less focus on Aerosmith.

3. Space Mountain-From the Earth to the Moon: Disneyland Paris, France. It features 2 inversions: a corkscrew and a sidewinder. The third inversion is actually a turn banked at 90 degrees, called a "tongue inversion". It features an upward launch at 40 mph into the main building, using a non-magnetic catapult system. It features a custom layout.

I hope this clears things up.

space monutain is far better than Rnr. Maybe the paris one will be better than the florida one.

Thanks Kraken, that makes sense. The SM building is not big enough for a RnR clone & on the Disney site the video shows an uphill launch. Sounds right for a 1995 coaster.

IMO that is dumb, they will have two enclosed launched triple loopers. Anyone agree?

Yeah! especially as space monutain,which is nearly 7 years old,will look better than the much younger rnr.

well if you have ever been to MGM you would know that there are no hills lik in that pic and no where in thoese pics show ToT or anything else that is at MGM.

Here is a super neat picture of Space Mountain in Paris!

Those were great pics of the ride. Thanks! Once a coaster gets covered up, it is hard to see what the original track looks like.
