Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will soon be Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Previously, it was known that this transformation would be sometime in 2026. Already, the transformation has begun with the preshow being closed off. Now, the final day for the current version of this attraction is known. The final day for guests to ride the attraction as it is now will be on March 1, 2026.

After the attraction closes, work will continue for The Muppets takeover. This is set to open at Walt Disney World Resort in Disney’s Hollywood Studios in the summer of 2026. When it does, guests will not only go on a rock’n ride with The Muppets, but there will also be new Audio-Animatronics in the pre-show. Disney has shared that Scooter will be appearing for the first time in Audio-Animatronic form. There will also be penguins on hand as well in the pre-show. Disney has teased that there could be even more figures making appearances as well.

2026 will be a big year for The Muppets. There will be a 50th anniversary special of The Muppet Show arriving on Disney+. Disney has released the following official information about Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets:

The Electric Mayhem: One Night Only! 

The Electric Mayhem are headlining their biggest Hollywood concert ever! 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! 

Across town at G-Force Records, we’re treated to a VIP tour of the legendary rock and roll recording studio. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management – The Muppets!  We’re happy to say that our colorful crew has landed some new digs… with just a little help from Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse (he really puts the G in G-Force). Just wait until you see how they’ve made these hallowed halls their own, creating the perfect place to make sweet, sweet Muppet music together! 

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Courtyard

For fans of that big – really big – hilariously big guitar, you’ll be stoked to know that the newest residents of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster are putting their own spin on that ruby red paint job. 

A vibrant and psychedelic new design will grace the bottom of the guitar (inspired by a classic Muppet car paint job), and the piano motif at the base will feature a golden key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader. 

Welcome to the Studio

With your VIP passes, you’ll be welcomed inside the recording studio, where – wouldn’t you know it – you’ll find the Electric Mayhem are cranking out some seriously rocking tunes. Along with the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course)we’ll see Scooter doing his best to convince Electric Mayhem to stop jamming and get to their increasingly restless fans. But will it be enough to get the band across town and onstage in time?

A Rock ‘n’ Roll Roadtrip

With the help from our friends at Muppet Labs and a very fast limousine, we’ll take a twisting, turning, and screamingly fun road trip across Hollywood to reach the concert in time. The iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown will feature a Muppet twist.

And throughout the journey, you’ll hear the Electric Mayhem playing some of the most iconic, rockin’ hits in your ears to keep the music and adrenaline pumping. I’m sure G Force Records will release a concert setlist soon.
