New Paintwork Spotted as Rock n Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Takes Shape

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Gets a Fresh Coat as Muppets Take Over at Hollywood Studios

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is steadily transforming at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, and the latest construction progress shows this retheme is really starting to hit its groove. During a recent visit, even more gray paint had been added to the attraction’s exterior, continuing its shift from the original tan color to a cooler, more modern look, along with colorful paint that matches the recently updated car peaking through the scrim above the attraction entrance.

Another eye-catching update can be found on the attraction’s iconic upside-down stretch limo ride vehicle out front, which has now received a shiny new top coat. The refreshed finish gives the car a more polished, stage-ready appearance as it prepares to welcome a brand-new band. This follows the permanent closure of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith on March 1, as Disney moves full speed ahead with the Electric Mayhem taking over G-Force Records.

When the attraction reopens on May 26, 2026, guests will still step into the famous recording studio for a high-speed V.I.P. tour, but this time it is the Muppets running the show. Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem will headline the experience, joined by familiar faces like Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Scooter in the pre-show.

Disney has also revealed the ride’s full song lineup, featuring “Song 2,” “Born to be Wild” with Camilla the Chicken, “Love Rollercoaster” with Jennifer Hudson and Questlove, “Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)” with Def Leppard, and “Walking on Sunshine” with Kelly Clarkson. Guests can also expect to hear the band’s classic “Can You Picture That?” near the exit, rounding out what is shaping up to be a wild, music-filled ride.

Between the expanding gray repaint, newly polished ride vehicle, and those colorful details emerging behind the scrim, this transformation is quickly turning into one of the most fun rethemes at Walt Disney World. The countdown is officially on until the Muppets crank it up and take this coaster to eleven.
