AceShowbiz - Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Orlando is set to launch an exciting replacement for the classic Aerosmith Rock n' Roller Coaster. Starting May 26, guests will experience the all-new Muppets Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, an attraction promising "high-speed thrills, zany comedy and an electrifying soundtrack."
Similar to the original ride, music remains at the core of this revamped experience, but now with a fun Muppets twist. Visitors waiting in line will hear the iconic Electric Mayhem band rehearsing their hit "Can You Picture That?," setting the tone for the wild, comedic rock show about to unfold.
The soundtrack features energetic covers of rock and pop classics performed by the Electric Mayhem. Notable tracks include their take on Blur’s energetic "Song 2," a collaboration with Kelly Clarkson on Katrina and the Waves’ "Walking on Sunshine," and a version of "Love Rollercoaster," featuring Jennifer Hudson and Questlove of The Roots. Fans of classic rock will also hear Def Leppard’s 1983 hit "Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)" and a spirited rendition of Steppenwolf’s "Born to Be Wild," performed by Camilla the Chicken and the house band.
Adding to the excitement, the queue area will entertain guests with surprise cameos from a variety of well-known performers and actors. Among the star-studded lineup are Awkwafina, Danny Trejo, Darren Criss, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, Travis Barker, Yvette Nicole Brown, Wayne Brady, and "Weird Al" Yankovic. These appearances add layers of humor and charm while guests await their turn.
The ride’s story begins in the courtyard, where visitors will learn about the fictional Muppet tycoon J.P. Grosse, who recently acquired G-Force Records. He appoints his nephew Scooter to manage the label, leading to a psychedelic makeover of the coaster’s famous giant guitar. This guitar now sports a vibrant paint job, while the piano motif beneath it is adorned with a single gold key as a tribute to Dr. Teeth’s legendary 14K tooth.
While in line, guests will observe the Electric Mayhem band recording new tracks in the studio, with Scooter urging them to finish quickly so everyone can board the limousines and race through Hollywood to the big concert. This immersive storytelling adds depth to the ride experience, blending music and humor seamlessly.
After the ride, visitors can catch the Electric Mayhem performing a post-ride show, with Animal teasing details about the coaster’s soundtrack. The combination of nostalgic Muppet charm and modern rock elements promises a unique theme park adventure for all ages.
This new attraction honors the spirit of its predecessor while injecting fresh energy and star power, making it a must-visit for both Muppets fans and thrill seekers alike. The blend of classic rock covers, celebrity cameos, and Muppet antics is sure to create an unforgettable experience for Disney guests.
With the official opening just weeks away, anticipation is building for the Muppets Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. From the vibrant set design to the dynamic soundtrack and surprise celebrity moments, this ride is poised to become a standout new addition to the park’s lineup.
