Rockin Roller Coaster in DCA?

[Gaston]

I like Rockn, but it made me sick to my stomach, only ridden it twice. So I wouldn't want to see it in DCA or any other thrill rides. I'd rather see something inventive, not fast.

Driving in the car makes you sick to your stomach.

See, I don't think that is a fair analogy though. A more apt comparison would be Screamin' vs a RnRC clone, in which case I would take Screamin' since it leaves unique coasters at MGM and DCA.

RnRC or Screamin'. May as well compare a Dodge Viper to a Ford Escort. RnRC is unique and exotic sports car. Screamin' is a generic sedan.

I'd take RnRC, a unique, highly themed, emersive Disney style ride with a story over another off-the-shelf, coaster-themed-coaster with cement and pipe-rail queue. Go to Six Flags for $25 if you like coaster-themed-coasters with unthemed pipe-rail queues. I want, imaginative, unique, emersive, exotic highly themed rides, and I'm willing to pay $45+ for them. I can't find these anywhere but Disney(well, IOA has some cool rides I guess, but I've not been there).

everyone mentioned the track layout similarities, but when I actually rode Dino, I got skeptical when there was no giant chamber ala Mara's lava room of death. is there any kind of drawing or map of the layout out there?

Dino seemed to be half as long to me. Maybe I'm crazy, but I know Indy crosses over itself. I saw no such twists and turns and cross overs on Dino.

Dino-Snore!

Dinosaur is about 1/10th as immersive as Indy. The soundtrack (what there is of it SUX) A bunch of dark rooms with cheap silk plants tacked up everywhere. BORING!

I wouldn't mind RnRC at DCA, but would prefer something new/original/cutting edge.

why couldn't they take the concept for RnRC and redo the track and other such things? kinda like our space mountains are different?

The whole point of building a clone is that it costs 30-50% less bacause of no R&D. To redo the track would be as expensive as building a totally unique ride.

They could retheme the ride with little extra cost, but the basic track layout is more expensive to rework.

Screamin' is like 3x better then Rockin Rollercoaster. It is a unique smooth coaster and it is a lot longer. Rockin Rollercoaster has a neat design and also unique, but is too turbulent and is over before you know it (sounds more like Six Flags to me). Screamin' is a lot more beautiful at night to. I'm very happy that the best Disney coaster is in California.

I'm so glad I went to WDW, it makes me like DCA even more.

The you must LOVE Six Flags parks. They are PACKED with coaster-themed-coasters. Dozens of cement and pipe-rail queues too. GO ride Goliath. It's is smooth, and even longer that Screamin'.

Beauty at night, from a distance, is not how I judge the quality of a ride.

I don't think Disney should try to compete with Six Flags for the best coaster-themed-coasters. They sure as heck shouldn't try to charge twice as much for them.

No, keep the unthemed, generic amusemtn park crap at Six Flags. I want, and am willing to pay for, unique, highly themed, emersive rides from Disney.

No, I don't like Six Flags. I do like good Disney parks though, which is why I like DCA

WoW, Paradise Pier is so beautiful. I'm so happy I get to see it later today!

That sounds like many of WDW's queues to, I was happy to find out. I don't care that I see them in DCA that much anymore!
