Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially opened May 26 at Disney's Hollywood Studios, giving Walt Disney World its full public debut for the rethemed indoor launch coaster.
Walt Disney World marked the opening Tuesday morning with an official X post, after Disney ran previews and a brief all-guest soft opening during the weekend.
The Muppets version keeps the coaster track and ride vehicles from the Aerosmith era, but G-Force Records now belongs to The Muppets. Guests enter the studio while The Electric Mayhem is running late for a concert across town, with Scooter trying to keep the band moving.
Riders must be at least 48 inches tall. The attraction still uses the indoor launch, three inversions, and the L.I.M.O. storyline, now paired with Muppet Labs audio work and covers from The Electric Mayhem.

The current set list includes "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.
The opening lands during one of Hollywood Studios' busier refresh windows. Disney Jr. Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live, The Walt Disney Studios courtyard, FØØD by Swedish Chef, and several Cool KIDS' SUMMER offerings also start around the same date.
Update: CrowdLevels recorded a 70-minute posted wait at 11:10 a.m. CDT on May 26, the first full public operating day for the rethemed coaster. The attraction is available during Early Theme Park Entry and regular park hours on opening day.
