Disney Replaces Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster With Muppets‑Themed Ride

Overview

• The reimagined attraction opened to the public on May 26, 2026, transforming the long‑running Aerosmith Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster into a Muppets‑themed ride that keeps the same launch and track layout.
• Rides play a randomized five‑song Electric Mayhem soundtrack compressed to the coaster’s roughly 70‑second run, including a Muppets cover of Blur’s 'Song 2' and shortened versions of other classic rock tracks.
• High‑profile guest performances and cameos feature across the soundtrack and show scenes, with contributions from artists such as Def Leppard, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Questlove, Travis Barker and Weird Al Yankovic plus celebrity appearances by Darren Criss, Neil Patrick Harris, John Stamos and others.
• Imagineers added new preshow scenes, animatronics — including Disney’s first motion‑capture Audio‑Animatronic of Scooter — and reused some cast members from the Aerosmith era, and they staged previews and a virtual‑queue rollout to tune crowd flow and show timing.
• Public reaction is mixed: many guests praise the theming and celebrity soundtrack while some longtime fans express nostalgia for the Aerosmith overlay, and Disney continues operational adjustments based on preview feedback to improve staging and sightlines.
