After winding through a shaded outdoor queue, guests enter the offices and recording studios of record label G-Force Records, whose lobby is decorated with posters of real acts signed to labels owned by The Walt Disney Company.
Next, guests are led into a room looking into the recording studio where the five members of Aerosmith are shown finishing a recording session. The group's manager (Illeana Douglas) enters and informs them that they're late for a concert. Lead singer Steven Tyler expresses regret at being forced to leave the band's fans and requests backstage passes for the entire group. The band then departs by limousine "to the Forum" (a reference to a famous Los Angeles concert venue). The harried manager summons a "super stretch" limo to carry guests to the concert and directs them outside.
Guests exit the recording studio and emerge in an alley where they board the waiting 24 seat stretch limos for the trip across town to the concert.
After loading passengers, the "limo" stops at the entrance to a tunnel. Music is played, and an overhead variable message sign displays a series of several different messages until a countdown. After the countdown, the car is then shot into the tunnel at 55 mph, and the souvenir photo is taken. The roller coaster goes through three inversions (a Roll-Over and a corkscrew) on a winding track intended to represent Interstate 5, as evident by the street signs on the side of the coaster.
The attraction ends when the limo arrives at Aerosmith's concert backstage, letting guests off onto a red carpet.

There are five speakers per seat, a total of 120 per limo.
