From LiveDaily:
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. ...
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.
Rejected by the Disneyland people: Wax dummies of all four Chili Peppers, wearing nothing but socks, greeting visitors to "It's A Small World."

SIGH. Yet another reason to avoid the place.
Nothing like a 18-year-old remake of a 34-year-old to song to appeal to the "kids". This is the worst idea they had since they added in Gilbert Gottfried's voice to the "Enchanted Tiki Room".
WTF with the tie. Panic! At The Peppers, next?
"Rockin' Space Mountain"? Who came up with the name, Rikki Rachman?
Why not "Love Rollercoaster" instead?
