VIDEO: Disney Reveals First Full Look at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Pre-Show
The curtain is finally rising on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, and Disney has released the first full video preview of the attraction’s brand-new pre-show at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The footage gives fans their first real look at Scooter and The Electric Mayhem in action inside the reimagined queue experience ahead of the coaster’s official opening on May 26. And yes, things immediately spiral into pure Muppet chaos.
The scene begins with guests arriving for their VIP tour while Scooter attempts to wrangle The Electric Mayhem during what appears to be an extremely unproductive band rehearsal. Scooter reassures Kermit that the band will absolutely make it to their concert on time, despite having no actual transportation plan in place. Naturally, that is the exact moment Beaker suddenly bursts into the scene, because this is Muppet Labs and workplace safety is apparently just a suggestion.
Disney also confirmed the new Scooter Audio-Animatronic was developed using motion-capture technology based on the real Scooter Muppet performance. Imagineers tracked the character’s movements and expressions to create a figure that moves and emotes with remarkably lifelike accuracy. The result looks much closer to seeing an actual Muppet performing inside the attraction rather than a traditional animatronic figure.
Alongside the pre-show video, Disney shared another look at the attraction’s updated exterior, which continues leaning hard into Electric Mayhem concert energy. The iconic giant guitar outside the attraction has been fully repainted, while a new Muppets concert poster now hangs above the entrance. Guests walking through the exterior queue will also spot individual band posters for each member of The Electric Mayhem.

Even the upside-down limo outside the attraction has gotten a full Muppet makeover, complete with colorful paint splatters, musical notes, stars, and the now-famous “MUPP3TS” license plate.
Rock Around the Shop has also received refreshed theming, including a new Dr. Teeth-inspired sign that looks like it came straight out of a psychedelic backstage dressing room from 1978.
Disney has spent the past several days rapidly unveiling more details from the reimagined attraction, including first looks at the updated ride vehicles, new on-ride photo designs, themed merchandise, and the FØØD by Swedish Chef snack location.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially opens May 26 at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
