Overview
- The entrance limousine now carries a near-finished psychedelic paint job with red‑orange swirls, yellow stars and blue music notes, as photo updates published Monday by WDWMAGIC, WDW Info and other outlets show.
- The giant Stratocaster guitar remains covered behind scaffolding, with reporting pointing to a rainbow redesign and new “Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets” branding when it is revealed.
- Inside the building, crews are installing a new preshow with animatronics featuring Scooter and other Muppet characters, and the ride audio is being swapped for Electric Mayhem performances.
- Disney confirms Early Theme Park Entry, Extended Evening Hours for deluxe resort guests and Tier 1 Lightning Lane access, which signals priority capacity for hotel guests and strong day‑of demand management.
- Reopening is slated for summer 2026, and while some outlets suggest a Memorial Day weekend target, Disney has not announced a date; the track and launch system stay the same, including the 0–57 mph start and inversions.
