Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Pre-Show Quietly Covered as Early Muppet Madness Rolls In

It looks like G-Force Records has gone from “Walk This Way” to “Wocka Wocka” overnight, because the entire Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster pre-show has suddenly been blocked from view, and the change is giving some major Electric Mayhem energy. Guests walking into the attraction today found fresh G-Force Records screens sealing off the recording studio windows, and instead of the classic Aerosmith invitation to their concert, everyone is being walked straight through the hallway and right into load. No banter from Steven Tyler, no backstage studio antics, just a straight shot to your super-stretch limo.

Disney hasn’t said a peep about the shift, but the setup feels a little too polished to be standard downtime. These panels are clearly designed to hide whatever is happening inside, and with Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets debuting in Summer 2026, it sure looks like Imagineering has popped the earbuds in and started tuning up the space for Scooter, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of the Electric Mayhem. The pre-show was always expected to be one of the most heavily reworked areas, so beginning interior work now lets the coaster keep running while the mayhem quietly builds behind the scenes.

When the Muppets officially take over, guests will race through Hollywood with the Electric Mayhem as they scramble to make their biggest show yet. Inside the newly Muppet-managed G-Force Records, Scooter will attempt to wrangle the band while a crew of penguin audio engineers handles the gear, and yes, this will mark the debut of Scooter as an honest-to-goodness Audio-Animatronics figure. Outside, the big red guitar gets a groovy psychedelic makeover that leans into the band’s classic flair, complete with a golden piano key nod to Dr. Teeth. The track stays the same, but everything else gets turned up to eleven with that signature Muppet chaos.

For now, you can still rock out with Aerosmith through the end of 2025, even if the show intro has officially left the building. And with a fully covered studio popping up without warning, this little tweak might be our first backstage pass to the transformation already underway. The mayhem is warming up, and the countdown to 2026 just got a whole lot louder.
