Peeling Paint Appears in New Muppets Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Queue Days After Reopening

Visible stripping of paint has prompted spot repairs with no public plan for full restoration.

Overview

Disney reopened the attraction as Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets on May 26, 2026 after months of refurbishment.
Within days guests posted photos showing large strips of outer paint removed from columns and walls in the newly refreshed queue, exposing underlayers.
Cast Members have spot-repainted several damaged areas but many peeled sections and noticeable color mismatches remain across multiple columns.
Online reaction is divided between viewers who say visitors deliberately peeled the paint and those who question the paint’s durability or surface preparation.
Opening-week crowding at Disney’s Hollywood Studios added pressure to operations and fans say the incident raises broader concerns about guest conduct and how Disney will handle ongoing repairs.
