Disney Shows Off Muppets Retheme of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Ahead of May 26 Opening

New videos of the animatronics show Disney moving into final prep for previews.

Overview

  • Disney released a first preshow video Friday that puts guests inside G‑Force Records, the in‑story recording studio, where a motion‑capture Scooter animatronic and penguin engineers try to rally The Electric Mayhem.
  • Statler and Waldorf were revealed Saturday as audio‑animatronics at the unload area, recycling their classic “bolted to the seats” gag as they heckle riders from a trailer.
  • Disney PhotoPass shared initial on‑ride images Friday, with three downloadable designs styled as a guest pass, a concert ticket, and a concert poster featuring The Electric Mayhem.
  • Walt Disney Imagineering showed the refreshed entrance, including a psychedelic repaint of the giant guitar and a piano key painted gold as a Dr. Teeth nod.
  • Cast previews are underway, Annual Passholder previews begin May 21, Disney Vacation Club access starts May 24, and the reimagined coaster opens to all guests on May 26.
