Disney World Confirms the Fate of the Muppets
Get Ready for a Whole New Experience
The Muppets are making a triumphant comeback to Disney World in a way that no one saw coming.
The Muppets Are Heading Back to Disney World in a Shocking Way
It’s pandemonium in the recording studio—Animal is smashing the drums, Scooter is sprinting around trying to get the Electric Mayhem in order, and a high-speed limousine is weaving through Hollywood streets with one goal: get the band to the concert on time. It’s chaotic, hilarious, and 100% Muppet energy.
Fans have been buzzing for a major refresh to Disney’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, and the Muppets overlay promises to deliver an experience that’s bigger, louder, and more colorful than ever. Set to debut in 2026 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this update blends high-octane thrills with the whimsical chaos that only the Muppets can bring.
But the excitement goes beyond the roller coaster itself. Every element—from the redesign of the iconic red guitar to hidden piano nods honoring Dr. Teeth—has been crafted to immerse visitors in Muppet-style storytelling. Disney is transforming a fan-favorite coaster into a full-blown, music-filled adventure.
What’s Happening at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster
The headline act? The Electric Mayhem is performing their biggest concert ever… but they’re missing! Guests will embark on a VIP tour of G-Force Records, now run by the Muppets themselves, where hilarity and music collide at every turn. Scooter, J.P. Grosse, and the gang are orchestrating a storyline filled with humor, suspense, and adrenaline-pumping moments that keep visitors hooked.
The ride entrance is getting a major visual update. The signature red guitar is now vibrant and psychedelic, and subtle nods to the Muppets, like golden piano keys, reward sharp-eyed fans. Even penguin audio engineers make the experience extra whimsical, creating layers of detail that enhance the storytelling.
How to Maximize Your Experience
Plan your visit strategically—early park entry days are the best way to beat lines and fully enjoy the Muppet transformation. Use the My Disney Experience app for up-to-date wait times and virtual queue options.

Frequent visitors know that entering via the Sunset Boulevard side can significantly cut wait times. The ride’s mid-journey scenes are perfect for photo ops, so keep your camera ready. Look out for hidden Muppet Easter eggs, like tiny instruments scattered throughout the studio and Hollywood streets.
Even snacks could become part of the experience—rumors suggest Electric Mayhem-inspired treats may appear in nearby food carts, offering a tasty, musical twist to your day in the park.
