Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Reopens After 28‑Hour Shutdown at Hollywood Studios

An unexplained multi-day outage raises concerns about early reliability for the ride's complex launch system.

Overview

  • The attraction went offline Monday around 4:30 p.m. and did not return to service until about 8:30 p.m. the next day, creating roughly a 28-hour outage.
  • WDWMAGIC and other outlets reported the reopening on the evening of June 23 with no formal explanation from Disney.
  • Reporters and enthusiasts point to a probable technical fault in the ride's high-speed linear induction motor launch system as the most likely cause, though Disney has not confirmed this.
  • The shutdown came less than a month after the coaster's May 26 reopening and followed earlier visible finish and paint issues in the queue that required spot repairs.
  • Guests should check the My Disney Experience app for real-time status and expect that complex launch systems can need extended diagnostics when faults occur.
