Attention all Disney fans! A beloved attraction is about to undergo a radical transformation, and we're here to break it down for you. The Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, a staple at Disney's Hollywood Studios, is saying goodbye to its Aerosmith era and embracing a new, Muppet-filled adventure.
But here's where it gets controversial... Disney has announced that the iconic Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, known for its adrenaline-pumping launch and rockin' soundtrack, will be closing its doors on March 1, 2026, marking the end of an era. This attraction, which has thrilled guests since 1999, is now transitioning into a whole new experience, and we can't help but feel a mix of excitement and nostalgia.
The Aerosmith preshow, a beloved part of the ride, has already been removed, and the space is being transformed into a new Muppets-themed preshow. Imagine stepping into a world where the Electric Mayhem band is racing to their biggest concert, with updated visuals and a soundtrack that will have you grooving in your seat.
And this is the part most people miss... Disney has hinted at some exciting surprises for the new version. Get ready to meet Scooter, a Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure, and keep an eye out for other familiar faces popping up throughout the attraction. The iconic red guitar outside will also get a psychedelic makeover, inspired by the Electric Mayhem, with a golden piano key detail that pays homage to Dr. Teeth.
So, when can we expect to ride this new adventure? Disney has confirmed that Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open its doors in Summer 2026. Mark your calendars, because this is one transformation you won't want to miss!
