Disney has announced that Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will officially open in Summer 2026 at Disney's Hollywood Studios. The reimagined attraction will feature the Electric Mayhem band in a brand-new high-speed adventure packed with music, comedy, and Muppet chaos.

A Rock and Roll Ride with The Muppets

The new storyline puts guests in the middle of the Electric Mayhem's biggest concert ever - if only the band could make it on time. Inside G-Force Records, now under Muppet management, Scooter is doing everything he can to get the band moving while a team of penguin audio engineers keeps the studio running.

This version of the attraction will include a brand-new Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter, marking the first time the character has been represented in that form. Disney also hinted that other Muppet figures could appear throughout the experience, though details have not yet been revealed.

The coaster will take guests on a high-speed limousine ride through a reimagined Hollywood, filled with landmarks and backstage moments touched by Muppet humor. The Electric Mayhem's rock soundtrack will accompany riders throughout the journey.

Outside, the attraction's familiar red guitar will receive a psychedelic makeover inspired by the band's style, including a golden piano key nodding to Dr. Teeth.

New Poster and Wallpaper

Disney also released the first attraction poster for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, showcasing the Electric Mayhem in action.

No, this is the theatre next to Rock 'n' Roller Coaster built in the early 2010s. Currently home to Villains Unfairly Ever After.

Is that where Beauty and the Beast is now?

It's gonna reflect on the Humans rather than The Muppets like they seem to be doing lately..

This is probably the Electric Mayhem concert for Sunset Showcase that @lentesta had alluded to in the past.

Bit unrelated but felt it was at least worth bringing up. Something about a second muppets attraction unlrelated to rnrc was posted on the boardwalk times quarterly thing. How true or false it is I dunno, but here you go I guess https://boardwalktimes.net/before-disneys-q4-2025-mailbag-impossible-creatures-lilo-stitch-2-the-hunt-for-ben-5bc0fb46b4b1

I wish they would but doubtful.

It’s anyone’s guess right now but I feel like it’s getting pretty late in 2025 for a January closure. Of course they can close it tomorrow if they want with no notice, but the recent “norm” has been at least 2-3 months out.

Funniest show I've ever seen on stage. And that character is basically Miss Piggy X rated.

My working theory seems to be after Marathon Weekend (Jan 7-11) I think based on this year where Marathon Weekend was Jan 8-12 and TriceraTop Spin closed on Jan 13

Might be going to Florida to visit my sister after the holidays and am thinking about working in a day at DHS in to do Rock N before it closes (Never got to ride it last trip) . Right now the plan is around Jan 15th for her birthday, what're the odds Rnrc is still open then? If it's down for the overhaul I may do an AK day for Dinosaur

Is there any possibility they’ll update aspects of the seats or restraints to make the headbanging less bad? If so, that would probably be among this update’s biggest improvements to the experience.

So, is this movie gonna have the Muppets in it themselves? Because I have this mental image of either Emma Stone in a Miss Piggy costume or a hyper-realistic CGI pig in a dress a la the live action remakes, with Emma Stone's voice.
