Located at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is a high-speed indoor roller coaster that launches guests from 0 to 57 mph in just 2.8 seconds—all to the soundtrack of Aerosmith’s greatest hits. As the story goes, you’re visiting the band in their music studio when they suddenly invite you to a VIP concert across town. With no time to waste, you’re rushed into a “super-stretch” limo and sent on a wild ride through the neon streets of Los Angeles.
Just before entering the ride, guests are greeted by a weathered pirate ship sail draped from a towering mast, fluttering above the entrance like a warning. Faded by sea air and sun, the sail bears the iconic skull and crossbones, setting the tone for the swashbuckling adventure inside. Paired with aged wood, lanterns, and nautical rigging, it instantly immerses you in the world of pirates before you even step in.
Although the upholstery and soft goods have probably been refreshed since then (Disney tends to update things every few years), the feel of the room was pure turn-of-the-century charm. Think floral prints, carved wood furniture, and a subtle Victorian elegance that somehow felt Grand!
The Bodie Island Lighthouse is a black-and-white striped lighthouse located on the Outer Banks of North Carolina, near Nags Head. Standing 156 feet tall, it was built in 1872 and still operates today, guiding ships along the treacherous stretch of coast known as the Graveyard of the Atlantic. Unlike many lighthouses, it remains in its original location and is open to the public for climbing during the warmer months.
Wind, sand, and a dream of flight brought Wilbur and Orville Wright to Kitty Hawk, North Carolina where, after four years of scientific experimentation, they achieved the first successful airplane flights on December 17, 1903. From 1900 to 1903, Wilbur and Orville Wright came to North Carolina from Dayton, Ohio, based on information from the U.S. Weather Bureau about the area’s steady winds. They also valued the privacy provided by this location, which in the early twentieth century was remote from major population centers.
