Overview
- The Electric Mayhem performed outside the reimagined attraction during a media grand opening on Wednesday, with fireworks and appearances by Darren Criss and John Stamos.
- Annual Passholder previews began the same day and the ride remains in limited preview before a planned public opening on May 26, 2026.
- Walt Disney Imagineering kept the original launch, track and inversions but added motion‑capture animatronics, Statler and Waldorf screen bits, Scooter audio, and many Muppet Easter eggs in the queue and plaza.
- Disney released a rotating soundtrack of cover songs tied to the ride, introduced nearby food and retail concepts such as FØØD by Swedish Chef, and staged live bits that mixed prerecorded screens with onstage performers.
- High demand for staged previews and limited virtual‑queue slots has strained preview access and could affect operations during opening week as cast, passholder and Disney Vacation Club previews continue.
