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).
Along the way, expect:
- 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:
