Big changes are coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and now we officially have a date to mark on the calendar. Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open May 26th, bringing a high-energy reimagining of the iconic attraction to Sunset Boulevard.

This update is part of a larger transformation at the park, including the future arrival of a Monsters, Inc. land. But for now, all eyes are on The Muppets as they take over one of Disney’s most thrilling attractions with a brand-new story, soundtrack, and experience!


Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Opening Date

Disney has confirmed that the reimagined attraction will officially debut on May 26th at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

Guests will once again race through Los Angeles in a super-stretch limo, but this time, the experience is centered around The Electric Mayhem and their biggest concert yet.

Leading up to the opening, Disney has also confirmed that preview opportunities will be available for:

  • Disney Vacation Club Members
  • Annual Passholders
  • Cast Members

More details on how to access previews are expected soon.


What Is the New Muppets Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster About?

The reimagined attraction drops guests into the middle of a chaotic, music-filled adventure as The Electric Mayhem prepares for a massive concert event.

Your experience begins inside G-Force Records, where the band is rehearsing but nowhere near ready to make it to the stage. From there, guests are recruited into a high-speed dash across the city in a new ride vehicle known as the L.I.M.O. (Lengthy Immediate Motion Object).

  • A full Muppets storyline with signature humor
  • The first-ever Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter
  • Celebrity cameos integrated throughout the queue and ride
  • A reimagined queue filled with posters, music references, and Easter eggs

This version leans heavily into storytelling and comedy while keeping the same high-speed thrills that define the original coaster.


Full Setlist for Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

Music plays a central role in the new experience, and Disney has officially revealed the attraction’s setlist.

Guests can expect a mix of classic rock energy and Muppets-style performances, including:

  • Born To Be Wild – The Electric Mayhem featuring Camilla the Chicken
  • Love Rollercoaster – featuring Jennifer Hudson and Questlove
  • Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) – featuring Def Leppard
  • Walking on Sunshine – featuring Kelly Clarkson
