Overview
- The attraction replaces the Aerosmith theme with The Muppets but retains the original high‑speed launch, track layout, and inversions to preserve ride performance.
- Disney ran controlled previews for cast members, Annual Passholders and DVC members and allowed multiple soft openings for regular guests over the weekend, continuing into May 25 ahead of the official May 26 opening.
- Walt Disney Imagineering released a behind‑the‑scenes Easter Egg Tour showing dense Muppet callbacks, preserved props from Muppet*Vision 3D, motion‑capture animatronics and more than 30 minutes of new queue and preshow media.
- The onboard soundtrack is randomized from a lineup selected after testing 100+ songs and features Electric Mayhem performances plus guest collaborations with artists such as Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Questlove and members of Def Leppard.
- A coordinated retail and marketing push has rolled out new Muppets merchandise in dedicated shops and a viral promotional video featuring “Joe from Legal,” all timed to support opening‑week crowds and operational tuning.
