Disney's Hollywood Studios Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Refurbishment: Muppets Take Over!
Exciting news has been revealed at Disney's Hollywood Studios regarding the closure of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster for refurbishment. The current version of the ride starring Aerosmith will be closing on March 2nd, 2026, to make way for a new Muppets overlay. The last day to experience Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith will be on March 1st, 2026. The new version of the coaster is set to debut in Summer 2026, with a complete overhaul of the theming both inside and out. The ride system will remain the same, but the attraction will feature a first-of-its-kind Muppet Animatronic, Scooter, who will be part of the experience.
Guests will embark on a VIP tour of G-Force Records, now managed by The Muppets, under the ownership of J.P. Grosse, Scooter's uncle. The attraction will showcase the Electric Mayhem band, along with popular Muppet characters like Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo. The reimagined ride promises to be a vibrant and entertaining experience for visitors. With the closure of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, Hollywood Studios is expected to be extremely busy on the final day, so guests are advised to plan ahead and secure park reservations in advance to avoid crowds.
While the departure of Aerosmith from the attraction may be bittersweet for some fans, the introduction of the Muppets overlay is generating excitement among park visitors. The Muppets will finally receive the recognition they deserve in the parks, and fans can look forward to a fresh and engaging experience on the revamped Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.
