Disney Speeds Muppets Overhaul of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster With New Permit and Visible Facade Work

The overhaul preserves the launch and track with reopening planned for summer 2026.

Overview

  • Walt Disney Imagineering filed a Notice of Commencement for the Shop ‘N’ Roll merchandise kiosk, contracting InterAmerica Stage for thematic construction.
  • Construction walls, scrim, and scaffolding now surround the giant guitar as exterior theming shifts to an Electric Mayhem–inspired design previewed on new concept art.
  • The upside-down entrance limousine is being repainted with red and orange flames, with overnight work expanding detailing across both sides.
  • Disney confirms a new Muppets storyline at G-Force Records featuring Scooter as an Audio-Animatronic, penguin audio engineers, and appearances by the Electric Mayhem.
  • The courtyard remains open for guests during early work, though one park Braille map still lists the attraction under the former Aerosmith name.
