Disney4me Posted May 21 Report Posted May 21 The time has finally arrived, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is getting ready to open at Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Let’s ride Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! When the Muppets Courtyard closed in June of 2025 to start construction on the all-new Monsters Inc. Land, there were lots of thoughts. Then, when Disney announced that the Muppets would be taking over the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster as a new retheme, there were even more thoughts. Now that we’ve had the chance to ride the brand-new attraction and share some coverage of the attraction online, our fans have new thoughts to share…and we’re breaking them down! Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially opens on May 26th, but many folks have already had the chance to ride it due to Cast Member and Annual Passholder previews, as well as the pre-opening media event. We’ve shared some pictures and videos of the ride, its queue, and its pre-show online, and people have been commenting their very strong opinions! Let’s dive in to some of the big notes. “This Is 100% Better” Several comments from our Instagram followers were positive! When we shared a clip of the new launch, one person said, “Why would anyone complain about this? This is 100% better.” Another commented, “Love a genuine glow-up!” Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets We know that many Muppets fans are just excited to continue the Muppet legacy in Hollywood Studios. And if you’re dedicated to the Muppet fandom, the ride and the queue have TONS of Easter eggs and little nods to leave you satisfied. You’ll get to see some of your favorite characters along the way, as well! 26 Hidden Details on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets “This Doesn’t Vibe!” However, just like there were people who loved the idea of this update, there were several who are not fans of the changes. One person commented “This doesn’t vibe!” while another said, “Nope. Just no. I need my Aerosmith circa 1998.” A third person said, “Sorry but this just doesn’t work.” Ready to rock! Now, keep in mind that these comments come from folks who saw a few seconds of the ride in a clip on the internet. We encourage everyone to reserve full judgment until they check out the ride for themselves! We will certainly admit that it’s a big change — the ride has less of the “hard rock ‘n’ roll” feel and more of the “silly Muppets” vibe, which can contrast with the actual thrill level. The coaster is just as fast, just as jerky, and still has the same inversions. Get a First Look Inside the Ride Here! Questions About the Ride The third kind of comments we got were mostly just questions about the ride and its experience. Note that it officially opens to the public on May 26th, though Annual Passholder previews happen starting May 21st. It will be available with Lightning Lane Multi Pass access as a tier one attraction when it opens, and there WILL be a single rider queue still. The preshow! There’s a test seat near the boarding area of the attraction, and there’s a “chicken” exit still for those who want to check out the queue and the pre-show with some of their favorite characters, but don’t wish to ride. The ride track hasn’t changed at all — it follows the same route as before and it’s still a little herky-jerky. However, the sights and signs along the ride have been updated to feature Muppets-specific nods, going along with the new storyline.
