Muppets Poster and Stratocaster at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster
Posted: Wednesday May 6, 2026 11:06am ET by WDWMAGIC Staff

The exterior transformation of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is nearly finished.

Construction walls came down earlier this week, giving the first clear view of the completed courtyard, and the large Muppets poster is now installed on the side of the building alongside the Stratocaster guitar.

The attraction opens to Annual Passholders for previews on May 21, with the public opening on May 26, 2026.

The large poster hanging on the building wall next to the Stratocaster features the full Muppets cast riding in the flame-painted limousine against a vibrant colorful backdrop. Animal is front and center on drums, with Miss Piggy, Kermit, Gonzo, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, and Lips all featured in the artwork.

The poster's license plate reads "MUPPETS," a fun detail visible on close inspection.

Construction walls that have surrounded the stratocaster since March 1 are now gone, opening up a clear erview of the completed exterior for the first time.

With construction walls removed, the completed Stratocaster guitar is now fully visible from Sunset Boulevard. The 40-foot guitar features vibrant pink, blue, red, orange, yellow, and teal swirling colors with gold stars scattered across the body.

The white pickguard and chrome hardware remain, and the piano keyboard motif at the base includes the golden key nod to Dr. Teeth as previously announced.

The only major exterior element still to be completed is the Muppets name text on the Stratocaster guitar and the entrance archway. The "Starring The Muppets" branding visible in Disney's concept art has not yet been applied to the guitar body.

The attraction's merchandise location has also received new branding. A colorful new sign reading "Rock Around the Shop" is now visible on the exterior wall.

The psychedelic-style sign features bold red, yellow, orange, blue, and green lettering in a retro circular design, matching the overall Electric Mayhem aesthetic. The shop will sell Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets merchandise when the attraction opens.

With Annual Passholder previews beginning May 21 and DVC Member priority access on May 24, the remaining Muppets text installation on the guitar will likely be completed in the next few days.

The public opening follows on May 26, when Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets joins Soarin' Across America, Bluey's Wild World, Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live!, and The Walt Disney Studios courtyard as part of Disney's Memorial Day weekend launch.

Is that a new logo for Rock Around the Shop? It looks fantastic. THIS is evocative of psychedelic art in a way the guitar is not, especially that font choice! 😍

If it isn’t the old guys, I’d take Gonzo somewhere like Groot in MB.

How dare he try to get Big Bird cooked and eaten. I don't know what Camilla saw in that turkey.

I think they’re treating this as a new attraction, whereas they did not treat BTMRR that way. And I’d say they’re right in that assessment. This will be a fundamentally different experience, BTMRR was not. That said, I do not expect this VQ to last long. A week at most.

but was closed for much longer.. and is more popular overall. And even BTMRR waits easily eased once the initial surge was over..

Mr. Sullivan2 hours ago

I don’t see that as odd, really. BTMRR didn’t go through nearly as much of a change as this did.

flynnibus2 hours ago

wouldn't that be odd if they used VQ here while they opened BTMRR without? I guess ride density differences between the parks.. but..

There appears to be a Virtual Queue ready in MDE's data feed for Muppets RnRC.

The roller coaster cars all line up next to each other at the end like Ellen's Energy Adventure, and we're finally treated to the 45-minute concert we were promised!
