Good Morning MW!!! I saw this picture inside the Lincoln Theater area, Can anyone please tell Me about this ride ?
Very short-lived fast ride that ran along the old People Mover track. Went really fast in short bursts but, in my opinion, fell just short of being a good ride. - Experiment818

Opening on May 22, 1998 as part of the New Tomorrowland, attraction ran on the former PeopleMover track. The Rocket Rods closed on September 25, 2000 for a refurbishment that was to last until Spring 2001, but no work was ever seen on the attraction. - BalooTBear

The rocket rods! I remember when they were installing this ride, could not wait to ride it! Never got a chance cause it was always broken down. - PartOfYourWorld

Rocket Rods!! I remember this so much. It was weird...like it was almost fun. Right when you started to think 'wow this is pretty fun' it would slow down. - Jillian

Ugh, my least favorite attraction. I went on it soon after it opened. Very long wait in the rain, and the ride was disappointing. Fast then slow then fast then slow. And the queue was horrible. It took us back behind a building and up a very narrow staircase with bare plywood on the walls. I was embarrassed for Disney. - PrincessKristin

Like 1998-2000 is all it lasted. Broke down more than its up time. Buzz is now where the entrance was. - Aleestalker

It did! Remember all the switchbacks it did inside the circle vision theatre room! - BettyPoop 232.0 #1217 11:55AM
Had the privilege of experiencing Rocket Rods several times. Really enjoyed the look of the cars, initial hot rod acceleration and sounds - MelodyMouse

I remember seeing it as a little girl and asking my parents if we could go on but they'd be like "the line is way too long!" lol - SarahJoshDisney

I had always wanted to go on this so badly as a kid, and finally when I was tall enough it wasn't there anymore. LOL - CarmenINwonderlanD
