Rock n' Roller Coaster was a steel roller coaster located at the now-defunct Opryland USA theme park in Nashville, Tennessee. Manufactured by Arrow Dynamics, the ride opened with the park in 1972. Originally named Timber Topper, the coaster was renamed Rock n' Roller Coaster in the late 1970s when Opryland rethemed the area the ride was located in to the 1950s.
After Opryland closed in 1997, the coaster was disassembled and sold to Premier Parks. After being stored at the Old Indiana Fun Park for several years, the ride was relocated to The Great Escape & Splashwater Kingdom in Lake George, New York, where it continues to operate today as the Canyon Blaster.
