Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opened May 26 at Disney's Hollywood Studios, replacing the Aerosmith version with The Electric Mayhem and a race to the band's concert.
The ride is still the same high-speed indoor coaster at its core. The changed part is the show: Scooter, Muppet Labs chaos, new queue details, Electric Mayhem music, and a finale built around the band.
Ride story
The setup keeps the limo rush but changes the destination. Guests are trying to reach The Electric Mayhem's show, with Scooter and Muppet Labs pushing the backstage mess forward before the launch.
That is the right use of the Muppets. The story does not need a complicated explanation. It needs a deadline, a band, a fast car, and enough weird little details to reward repeat rides.
Music and queue details
The Electric Mayhem soundtrack is the obvious headline, but the smaller queue pieces matter too. Muppet*Vision 3D props and references give the retheme some sentimental weight after that show closed at Hollywood Studios.
Look for visual jokes before the preshow instead of treating the queue like dead time. This version is built for fans who want to catch signs, props, and background gags on later rides.
Food and merchandise
FØØD by Swedish Chef opened near the coaster with Muppets-themed snacks, including Wocka Wocking Nachos. Rock Around the Shop carries attraction merchandise at the ride exit, with apparel, accessories, and souvenirs tied to the new version.
Handle food and merch before the late-night rush if either is important. The exit shop can get tight when ride groups spill out together.
