The reopening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is coming up this summer, and while we just recently got a sneak peek at one of the new songs coming to the attraction, the end of this week will be a HUGE day for Muppet fans.
Rock ‘n Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets
Disney has announced that we’ll be getting more information about this upcoming attraction VERY soon on April 16th, and now we’re only a few days away. If you don’t have it marked on your calendar just yet, this is why you’ll want to pay close attention later this week!
April 16th will be a big day for Muppet fans, because that’s when Disney will be releasing more news about the rethemed ride. We know that the full tracklist for the attraction will be released on this day (so far we only know “Song 2” by Blur, but, of course, with The Electric Mayhem singing it instead of Blur), but it’s also possible we’ll hear even MORE news — perhaps even an opening date?

So far, we know that guests will still be treated to a VIP tour of G-Force Records, which is now owned by Scooter’s real-estate tycoon uncle. The Muppets will be teaming up with “music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival,” but similar to Aerosmith in the original attraction, they’re running behind, and it’s gonna take a super fast stretch limo (courtesy of Muppet Labs) to get everyone there on time.

Throughout the ride, we’ll get looks at Tinseltown, but with a Muppet twist, and Disney has promised “laughter, screams, and new tunes for this attraction for fans to enjoy throughout the adventure.”

While there’s been no news on whether a Virtual Queue will be used when this ride opens, we do know that it’ll be a Lightning Lane Multi Pass Tier 1 option. When you go to pre-book your three Lightning Lanes, you’re only able to select one Tier 1 ride at the start (once the day starts and you use up your pre-booked Lightning Lanes, you can book any included ride, no matter the tier), which means you’ll have to choose between Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run, Slinky Dog Dash, and Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
We can’t wait!
We’ll be sure to keep you updated on all the news about this upcoming ride, so stay tuned to DFB!
