Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Reopening as New Muppets Coaster in 2026
Disney has officially announced a closing timeframe for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, providing a clearer timeline for its anticipated transformation into a new attraction starring The Muppets.
According to a new Disney press release, the iconic indoor roller coaster is now officially set to close sometime in 2026. While a specific date was not provided, the release also stated that the rethemed version of the coaster starring The Muppets is slated to open by the end of that same year, suggesting a relatively fast-paced project.
This announcement confirms that guests will still have plenty of time to experience the current super-stretch limo ride to an Aerosmith concert before it closes for its reimagining. As of now, the Walt Disney World website has not been updated with this new information.

The new attraction will mark the first-ever Disney ride centered on The Muppets. As depicted on a previously released poster, the storyline will feature Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy teaming up with Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem – Floyd Pepper, Janice, Lips, Animal, and Zoot – for a “rockin’ music festival.” It is possible other Muppet characters could appear in the attraction’s pre-show or during the ride experience.
Further details confirm that the transformation will extend beyond the ride itself, as The Muppets will also take over the Rock Around the Shop merchandise location currently attached to the coaster’s show building.
This announcement comes on the final day of operation for MuppetVision 3D, which is set to close permanently on June 7, 2025. While one Muppet experience ends, fans can now look forward to the gang returning to the park in a major new E-ticket attraction in 2026.
