Disney has officially started showing off more of its upcoming Muppets coaster takeover at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and fans are finally getting a much clearer look at what this reimagined attraction is going to feel like once it opens later this month.Credit: DisneyOver the past several days, Disney Parks and Walt Disney World social accounts have released a wave of new photos, attraction details, and merchandise previews tied to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, which officially debuts May 26 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.And based on what Disney is teasing so far, this is shaping up to be far more than a simple character overlay.The Muppets are not just appearing inside the attraction. They are completely taking over the experience from the queue to the exit gift shop.Disney Is Giving the Coaster a Completely Different PersonalityWhen Disney first announced that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster would be rethemed around The Muppets, reactions were mixed. Some longtime fans worried the attraction would lose its edge, while others were excited to finally see the franchise receive a major new presence inside Walt Disney World.Now that Disney has started sharing official photos, the overall direction feels much clearer.The updated attraction keeps the high-speed thrills of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster intact, but visually, the experience has been transformed into a chaotic Electric Mayhem concert event.Disney Parks posted on X: “Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens May 26 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios ”Soon after, Disney followed up with another tease: “Final tune-up before the big show for The Muppets An updated look at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets ”Final tune-up before the big show for The Muppets An updated look at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets pic.twitter.com/lhoUZOR4ev— Disney Parks (@DisneyParks) May 15, 2026The attraction’s exterior guitar marquee now features a colorful psychedelic redesign inspired by The Electric Mayhem. Disney also added new thematic details throughout the courtyard area, including a golden piano key tribute connected to Dr. Teeth.It still feels loud, flashy, and over-the-top, but now with a distinctly Muppet-style sense of humor layered over everything.Rock out in style Check out the brand-new Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets merchandise collection https://t.co/c1ycDoFr8B pic.twitter.com/yn5plxz43h— Walt Disney World (@WaltDisneyWorld) May 15, 2026The Storyline Revolves Around a Massive Hollywood ConcertDisney also revealed new story details tied to the attraction’s queue and preshow experience.According to Disney, guests will enter G-Force Records, a famous recording studio preparing for what is supposed to be the biggest concert event in Hollywood.The Electric Mayhem is headlining the show, but naturally, there is a problem. The band has disappeared.That sends guests racing through Los Angeles aboard the coaster as the attraction turns into a frantic effort to make it to the concert on time.The featured Muppets include Dr. Teeth, Animal, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Lips, and Scooter, who Disney confirmed is receiving the first-ever Audio-Animatronics figure for the attraction.Imagineers reportedly used motion-capture technology to help create Scooter’s movements and facial expressions, allowing the figure to behave more naturally onscreen and in physical form.For longtime Muppets fans, that detail alone is getting a lot of attention online.Disney Photo Pass shared the new on-ride photos on Instagram stating, “We’re days away from the opening of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets! After rockin’ out with The Electric Mayhem, you’ll receive three concert-inspired versions of your attraction photo from #DisneyPhotoPass ” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Disney PhotoPass Service (@disneyphotopass)Celebrity Cameos Are Hidden Throughout the ExperienceOne unexpected surprise Disney revealed involves the number of celebrity appearances built into the attraction.Guests riding Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will reportedly encounter cameos from stars including Awkwafina, Danny Trejo, Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos, Wayne Brady, and Weird Al Yankovic woven throughout the queue, attraction scenes, and merchandise spaces.Disney has not explained exactly how extensive these cameos will be, but the company says guests should pay attention from the moment they enter the queue all the way through the attraction exit.That approach feels very consistent with The Muppets brand itself, which has always leaned heavily into celebrity humor and surprise appearances.The Ride’s Music Is Also Changing CompletelyOne of the biggest changes coming to the coaster involves the soundtrack.Disney confirmed that guests will experience different songs during the ride, all performed or reimagined by The Electric Mayhem alongside various musical collaborators.The announced set list includes:“Song 2”“Born To Be Wild”“Love Rollercoaster”“Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)”“Walking on Sunshine”Featured collaborators include Jennifer Hudson, Questlove, Kelly Clarkson, and Def Leppard.That rotating soundtrack setup could give the attraction strong repeat ride appeal, especially among fans hoping to experience every version.It also keeps the concert theme central to the attraction rather than treating the music like background noise.Disney Is Expanding the Muppets Experience Into the CourtyardThe transformation extends well beyond the coaster itself.Disney also previewed a new merchandise line inspired by the attraction, with apparel, accessories, and collectible items launching inside Rock Around the Shop.At the same time, the nearby dining location FØØD by Swedish Chef is receiving updated theming and menu additions tied directly to the new attraction.Disney has already teased snacks and beverages including the Electric Slushy and Churro Drum Stick as part of the refreshed experience.For guests visiting Walt Disney World Resort this summer, that means the entire corner of Sunset Boulevard may feel noticeably different once the attraction officially opens.This Could Change Crowd Patterns at Hollywood StudiosWhenever Disney launches a major attraction update, especially one connected to a recognizable franchise, crowd levels usually shift almost immediately.The opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets could draw significant demand at Disney’s Hollywood Studios throughout the summer travel season.That may impact Lightning Lane availability, attraction wait times, mobile order demand nearby, and even merchandise crowds during opening weeks.Guests planning Walt Disney World vacations around Memorial Day or summer break may want to prioritize Hollywood Studios earlier in the day if this attraction is high on their list.Disney also appears to be heavily marketing the retheme online, which usually signals confidence that the attraction will generate strong social media engagement once guests start posting ride videos and reactions.And honestly, it probably will.A high-speed roller coaster starring Animal, Dr. Teeth, and The Electric Mayhem feels exactly like the kind of chaotic Disney idea that could either completely fail or become an instant fan favorite.Right now, Disney seems very confident it is going to be the second option.The post Disney Drops Finalized Update on New IP Coaster Amid 85-Day Closure appeared first on Inside the Magic.
