Overview
- The attraction officially opened to all guests Tuesday as Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, keeping the coaster’s launch and track intact while replacing the preshow, queue, soundtrack and visual identity with Electric Mayhem theming.
- Disney completed the digital rebrand by updating the My Disney Experience map icon to a psychedelic Electric Mayhem guitar, a move outlets reported as signaling a permanent identity change rather than a temporary overlay.
- Within hours of park opening posted standby waits climbed into triple digits—around 110 minutes—funneling large crowds onto Sunset Boulevard and stretching Lightning Lane return windows.
- Concerns about operational readiness grew after several major attractions experienced extended outages the day before opening, with Haunted Mansion, Big Thunder Mountain and Kali River Rapids reported offline for several hours.
- The coaster’s public debut followed staged previews for cast, press, Annual Passholders and DVC members and arrived the same day Animal Kingdom opened Bluey’s Wild World, a timing that concentrated families and shifted crowd patterns across the resort.
