The perks signal Disney’s plan to elevate the rethemed coaster as a top-priority draw for resort guests.
Overview
- Walt Disney World added Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets to Early Theme Park Entry and Extended Evening Hours, confirming access for on‑site guests once it reopens.
- The attraction remains a Tier 1 selection in the Lightning Lane Multi Pass system, underscoring Disney’s crowd‑management strategy at Hollywood Studios.
- Disney says the summer 2026 opening is coming without a set date, and multiple outlets report an official announcement is expected soon.
- The ride keeps its existing launch and track but introduces a new Muppet storyline, a high‑fidelity soundtrack, and audio‑animatronics including Scooter and penguin engineers.
- Construction progress is visible with scaffolding and scrim around the guitar facade and a repainted entrance limo, while demolition and build‑out continue for the Monstropolis land at the back of the park.
