Red Hot Chili Peppers To Rock Disneyland Resort

The Red Hot Chili Peppers will entertain visitors to California's Disneyland Resort during the first few months of 2007 by helping to transform two of the resort's most popular rides with their music.

As part of the Disneyland Resort's "Year Of A Million Dreams" promotion, both the venerable Space Mountain attraction in Disneyland and the California Screamin' roller coaster in neighboring Disney's California Adventure will be given makeovers, sporting new lighting technology and fresh soundtracks featuring the music of the Chili Peppers.

Space Mountain -- which opened in 1976 and was recently given an extensive rebuild from the bottom up -- will become Rockin' Space Mountain during the promotion's run, with the band's 1989 cover of Stevie Wonder's "Higher Ground" accompanying riders as they soar through the ride's virtual outer space setting.

Rockin' California Screamin' will also feature a new soundtrack in the form of the Chili Peppers' 1999 hit single "Around The World." The four-minute ride -- which takes guests from zero to 55 miles per hour in a mere four seconds -- is the world's longest steel-looping coaster, according to a press release.

[papersun87]

That roller coaster is amazing.

[fireoptic]

Higher Ground is ****ing awesome! Now I wanna go to Disney!

[KileManA7X]

Is it gonna be kinda like that Aerosmith roller coaster in Disney World? I used to live in LA, California. Wish I could go back

[theDOORS123]

cool i guess....im still bummed that they dont even come to new england on their 2nd tour

[Salzary]

I hope they come out at the disneyland resort with tube socks around their willies. That'd be sure to traumatize some little kids.

[Master Bait Her]

i went on california screaming 15 times straight and I got sick and threw up!
this is gonna be so cool cause I always get free tickets to disneyland and chili peppers is one of my favorite bands.

[cuige]

I never go on rollercoasters but I might make an exception...

[soul_power]

No west coast dates??? Oh well already saw em in August.

[whatamidoinhere]

Dammit! I'm goin there latee next year, so it'll probably be gone by then. It makes me so ANGRY!!!

[lukephillips000]

omg, that is AWSOME

[Kartman]

LOLZ RHCP IS SELLING OUTSZ

I'm just kidding. My favorite part about this article is that the songs the Chili's are going to be using are all post-2000 songs and no Stadium Arcadium songs. I'm sick of Stadium Arcadium.

Checked.

[gdrocks2230]

hahahaha... that is awesome!

but i was wondering... isn't around the world about sex? sex + kids at disneyland ???

haha, i love the chili peppers.

[kbass9267]

That would be so fun, two of my favorite things: Roller coasters and the RHCP.

[Soul on Ice]

:P U just gotta love the Red Hot ^^

[MESAexplorer]

They should go to Universal studios or cedar point...the rollercoasters there are 10x better than disney.

And its like $35 for a day at cedar point and like $50 for a day at 1 disney park, and each park only has like 2 good rides.

[axe_man]

awsum!

[runwiththesun]

I think disney is going crazy, when we went we heard ozzy osbourne was conducting a play.

awesome

[pitbull510]

lol I'm Still waiting for Cannibal Corpse to play on their Light Parade.

[guitarmansmitty]

Cannibal playing the Light Parade would screw some kids up for sure man.

checked

[wicrock]

Crap I live far away from disneyland, CA! Could they do it in the rest of disneyland parks? USA is just too far! Damn it! That would be so awesome to ride and listen to you favorite band!

[guitarkid2113]

that is so sweet. imagine going on a roller coaster with that music playing... kick ass!

[calej1753]

[CrossBack7]

Tickets In Cincy sold out about 3 months ago :-(

[shoebox_of_lies]

im suprised they didnt use the chili's love rollercoaster cover anywhere

[fanny whacker]

why dont they get more bands to do that! Can you imagine riding an insanely fast ride while listening to something like "god hates us all" by slayer?!

Hmm...what they should do is use Sir Pyscho Sexy. There's nothing in that!

[hiddeninromance]

"its on amerika's tortured brow that mickey mouse has grown up a cow"

[the_bi99man]

That's pretty damn sweet right there. And it is a shame they've got no west coast shows coming up. Not too bad, though, because I also saw them in August at Lollapalooza in Chicago. I was there for a wedding.

[KileManA7X]

That's right! I'm going on a fu**in airplane to ride this!

[Frusconbage]

Seems kind of weird... I never would have guessed a Disney-RHCP connection.

And why'd the Choose "around the World" for California Screamin?
