LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. — Disney World revealed new details Thursday for the planned Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
Park officials in November announced the new theme for its popular Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster ride, which had been known for its Aerosmith storyline. This will be the first Disney ride to feature The Muppets, following their departure from the long-running Muppet*Vision 3D show, which closed earlier this year.
The roller coaster will open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in 2026, where the Electric Mayhem are set to headline “their biggest Hollywood concert ever,” according to a post on the official Disney Parks Blog.
“Anyone who’s anyone is in attendance to witness Animal, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of this groove-tastic group rock the house down. There’s just one little problem: the band is nowhere to be found!” Disney shared.
Guests will take a VIP tour of the rock and roll recording studio, G-Force Records, which is now under management of The Muppets. It’s been done with the help of Scooter’s uncle, “real estate tycoon” and Muppet Theatre owner J.P. Grosse.
The iconic guitar continues to serve as the anchor of the attraction, but with a new twist — the ruby red paint is being replaced with a “vibrant and psychedelic new design” on the bottom of the instrument, which Disney says is inspired by the appearance of a classic Muppet car. “The piano motif at the base will feature a golden key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader,” Disney revealed.

The roller coaster, a “very fast limousine,” will take riders on a road trip across Hollywood to make it to the concert in time, full of exciting twists and turns, while enjoying music from the Electric Mayhem in their ears.
“The iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown will feature a Muppet twist,” stated Disney.
Park officials said that more details for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will be announced soon.
