The Muppets have officially taken over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and it’s a wild ride. The new version of the attraction, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, features The Electric Mayhem as the headliner instead of Aerosmith, and it’s a fun, colorful, and quirky transformation. Personally, I think the change is a breath of fresh air, bringing a new energy to the park. The ride is currently going through previews, but officially opens to guests on May 26, and I can’t wait to experience it. What makes this particularly fascinating is the attention to detail in the transformation. From the courtyard to the queue, the pre-show, and the ride itself, every element has been reimagined with a Muppet twist. The courtyard is now a vibrant, colorful space with an upside-down car and a giant guitar, both given a The Electric Mayhem-inspired makeover. The signage has been updated, and one of the piano keys below the guitar was painted gold as an homage to The Electric Mayhem frontman Dr. Teeth. The entrance archway, gate, and show building were all painted gray, a stark contrast to their previous beige shades. The snack kiosk has been transformed into FØØD by Swedish Chef, and the exit gift shop, Rock Around the Shop, has new signage with Dr. Teeth’s arm pointing to the store. The queue is a VIP tour of G-Force Records, now under the management of Scooter’s uncle, J.P. Grosse. The exterior queue is lined with new posters inspired by The Electric Mayhem, and the digital posters in the rotunda now feature the Muppets alongside celebrities like Weird Al Yankovic and Awkwafina. The pre-show is a delightful blend of Muppet Labs and music, with The Electric Mayhem rehearsing their original song ‘Can You Picture That?’ from The Muppet Movie. Scooter is featured as an animatronic, and Beaker explodes through the wall with the band. The loading area is a colorful, fun space with new props, including a plethora of The Great Gonzo items. The limos have a new colorful design with music notes and stars, and their license plates now read ‘MUPP3TS.’ The ride itself is a high-speed, fun experience with songs performed by The Electric Mayhem, including ‘Song 2,’ ‘Born to be Wild’ ft. Camilla the Chicken, and ‘Love Rollercoaster’ ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove. The on-ride photo frames feature The Electric Mayhem members, Animal and Sergeant Floyd Pepper, and Miss Piggy and Kermit. The exit is a fun, quirky space with Statler and Waldorf in a trailer and a projection screen displaying The Electric Mayhem performing at their concert. In my opinion, the transformation of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster into Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is a brilliant move. It brings a new, fresh energy to the park, and the attention to detail in the transformation is impressive. The Muppets have a special place in the hearts of many, and this new attraction is a fun, nostalgic experience for fans of all ages.
