Muppets Retheme of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Enters Final Stage Before May 26 Reopening

The finishing touches point to Disney’s push to refresh existing rides with familiar characters instead of rebuilding from scratch.

Overview

  • The exterior, which gained a large Muppets attraction poster Wednesday, is now largely complete with construction walls removed and the repainted 40‑foot psychedelic guitar on view.
  • Disney added The Muppets name to the entrance arch and updated the upside‑down car’s license plate to MUPP3TS, extending the new look to the gateway icon.
  • The exit shop keeps the Rock Around the Shop name, now shown in a bright Electric Mayhem–style mural that matches the new color and concert‑tour theme.
  • Annual Passholder previews start May 21 with DVC priority access on May 24, and the public opening at Disney’s Hollywood Studios follows on May 26.
  • The coaster’s track and launch remain the same, while a new Electric Mayhem storyline brings fresh scenes, props, celebrity cameos, and a five‑song rotating soundtrack of rock covers.
