Overview
- Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith operated for the last time on March 1, with closure now in effect at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
- Guests formed lines before opening and waited up to roughly three hours, with Sunset Boulevard congestion, backstage overflow queues, and the single rider line reaching capacity.
- Nearby operations felt the squeeze as Tower of Terror absorbed spillover and a Villains stage show released waves of guests into already packed walkways.
- Disney says the ride will reopen in summer 2026 as Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, featuring the Electric Mayhem, a new soundtrack and scenes, and Scooter’s first Muppet Audio‑Animatronics role.
- The launch system and track remain unchanged, and industry watchers project a most likely mid‑July to early‑August window for reopening if the accelerated retheme stays on schedule.
