At Rock 'n Roller Coaster, it's no secret that you are touring the famous G-Force Record studio just as Aerosmith is wrapping up recording their next record. The entire building is themed to be the working recording studio that is home to Aerosmith, as well as other Disney-approved bands (as seen in the posters that you see when you enter the building). The name G-Force Records may seem fairly straight forward as a gag name that Imagineers came up with that plays on the theme of the ride where you will experience a few g-forces of your own. While that's true, there's a hidden meaning in the name that most guests may not pick up on.

The name of the fictitious company G-Force Records plays off not only the g-forces you may experience on the ride, but also on Aerosmith's real recording studio. Aerosmith started out on the Columbia Records brand but after a bout of drugs in the 1970's, Aerosmith cleaned up and in 1984 signed a record contract with Geffen Records. G-Force records sounds an awfully lot like Geffen Records. If you want even more proof, look no further than the logo of G-Force Records and the Geffen Record label and you'll notice a very similar design.
