Red Hot Chili Peppers To Rock Disneyland Resort

[ihatemisssly]

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.
