Disney has set the closing timeframe for the current version of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, giving fans a clearer window to take their remaining rides before the attraction begins its major reimagining.
The existing experience will remain open until spring 2026, allowing several more months for guests to enjoy the high-speed launch and classic Aerosmith soundtrack before the transition begins.
Note that a significant operational change already in effect: the preshow for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster is now permanently closed. The recording studio space has been walled off with G-Force Records-themed panels, and work has already begun inside the room to transform it into the new Muppet-driven preshow experience.
Once the attraction closes in spring, crews will move into full refurbishment mode as the ride prepares to reopen as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets in summer 2026.
What's Coming in Summer 2026
When the doors reopen, the Electric Mayhem will take center stage in a new storyline built around the band's biggest concert ever - if they can get there on time.
Inside the reimagined G-Force Records, now under Muppet management, guests will encounter Scooter trying to get the band moving while penguin audio engineers run the control room. The attraction will also feature a brand-new Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter, with Disney hinting that additional Muppets may appear throughout the experience.
The familiar high-speed limo ride will stay, but guests will race through updated scenes filled with Muppet humor, reworked Hollywood landmarks, and a new soundtrack performed by the Electric Mayhem.
Outside, the giant red guitar will receive a psychedelic makeover, including a golden piano key nod to Dr. Teeth.
