In Just ONE Month, Disney's Hollywood Studios Is Going to Look Very Different

In just one month, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is about to look a lot different! We are in the final countdown before some BIG changes hit the park, and we are counting down the days.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

One of the changes we are looking forward to is Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets! We are just one month away from its opening on May 26th, 2026, and we are eagerly awaiting the chance to hop into a limo and jam out with The Muppets.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is a re-theme of the previous Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. G-Force Records, now run by stage manager Scooter with help from Kermit, Miss Piggy, and more, will be working with The Electric Mayhem Band on their biggest show. The ride starts with a VIP pass to see Electric Mayhem at G-Force Records with Kermit and Miss Piggy. There’s just one big problem: the band has been rocking out so hard that they lost track of time and are running late for their big show! So it’s up to you to help them get there with the help of a L.I.M.O., aka Lengthy Immediate Motion Objects.

Similar to the previous Aerosmith version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, you will get to jam out to classic rock songs during the roller coaster ride. Here is a look at the song options:

“Song 2” — The Electric Mayhem
“Born To Be Wild” — The Electric Mayhem featuring Camilla the Chicken
“Love Rollercoaster” – The Electric Mayhem ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove
“Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)” – The Electric Mayhem ft. Def Leppard
“Walking on Sunshine” – The Electric Mayhem ft. Kelly Clarkson

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is looking different!

We have been keeping a close eye on the progress at G-Force Records. The iconic upside-down car has gotten a new paint job, and the entryway arch is now dark gray, featuring new G-Force Records logo signs. As well, inside the courtyard, the ride building has been painted a dark gray, almost black. Back in April, Disney also announced that there would be previews for cast members, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members, and Annual Passholders. We are still waiting for more details about the previews, but we will keep you updated as we learn more!

The new paint!

Disney also recently gave us a peek inside the queue for the attraction, and we can’t wait to see it in person! In the video released by Disney, Imagineer Ben Conway, who is an Associate Set Director on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets, is shown working on some details in the queue. The video showed some of the hidden details in the queue, including a big box labeled “The Great Gonzo Weird Stuff,” rubber chickens, a Gonzo statue, and more. We can’t wait to get inside and see what else we can spot!
