Preview rides for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets begin ahead of the May 26 public opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
Disney Vacation Club preview access was set for the days leading into opening week, while Disney's public attraction page continued to point guests toward the May 26 debut. The result is a narrow preview window, not a normal standby opening.
The retheme keeps the indoor launched coaster layout and moves the story to G-Force Records, where Scooter tries to get Dr. Teeth and The Electric Mayhem to a concert on time.
What changes for riders
Disney's opening-week materials put The Electric Mayhem, new Muppets props, Scooter, and a new soundtrack at the center of the ride. The coaster still launches from Sunset Boulevard and still uses the same thrill-ride footprint.
For guests watching the calendar, the practical date remains May 26. Preview rides can pause or change, so they should be treated as bonus access for eligible guests.
