No Closing Date Announced for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster as Muppets Prepare To Take the Spotlight
Disney fans are bracing for some big changes at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, but the fate of one iconic attraction remains up in the air. While Disney has confirmed that the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will be re-themed into a Muppets-inspired coaster, no closing date has been announced for the high-speed ride starring Aerosmith. With the other impacted attractions already slated for closure to make way for Monstropolis and new Muppets-themed offerings, fans are left speculating about when they’ll take their last ride in a super stretch limo.
Plans for the transformation of the current Muppets area are already underway, with Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano set to serve its final plate of pasta on May 10, and MuppetVision 3D and PizzeRizzo closing their doors on June 7. These closures are paving the way for a major overhaul that will introduce a new Monsters, Inc.-themed land alongside exciting updates to the Muppets’ presence in the park. While this is thrilling news for fans of both franchises, it leaves Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster enthusiasts holding their breath for an official timeline.
Historically, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster undergoes routine refurbishments around January each year, leading many to speculate that the ride could close in early 2026 for its transformation. However, without an official announcement, the exact timing remains a mystery. The absence of a closing date feels particularly uncertain when compared to Disney’s recent update that Dinosaur at Disney’s Animal Kingdom will remain open through 2025 before it undergoes its own transformation.
As for what’s coming, the Muppets re-theme to Rock N Roller Coaster promises to be a show-stopper, taking guests on a zany and musical journey through a brand-new storyline. Over in the current Muppets land, the expansion will include a thrilling suspended coaster recreating the heart-pounding door vault scene from Monsters, Inc., along with themed dining, shopping, and a unique theater experience. While Disney hasn’t provided an opening date for Monstropolis, current speculation suggests the new land will debut in 2027.
