Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is opening on May 26th, and while we’re glad Muppets isn’t fully leaving Hollywood Studios, it doesn’t mean every fan is super happy about the changes.
Looking great!
This time, we’re turning to our readers and asking what they think about the changes coming to the attraction. Recently, Disney showed off the guitar’s paint job outside the attraction, and fans have… thoughts.
Before we get into the comments, let’s check out the paint job! It looks pretty similar to the concept art Disney showed off before, and yes, it totally looks like they let Animal go wild with the spray cans.
We can’t wait to ride
While we might love the bright colors, not everyone feels the same. One reader said, “It’s like watching the corpse of a loved one get beaten.”

A lot of commenters just said “sad” or “nope,” and hey, we get it. It’s not easy to have your favorite ride changed.

Someone else said, “This just ruined my day.” Another said, “Looks like a bad cotton candy sugar hangover. Not rock n roll.”

On a poll on our Instagram page, we asked what everyone thought of the changes. 73% clicked “Love it! Can’t wait for the new version!” and 27% said “Hate it! Why did they have to change it?” About 1,300 people responded to the survey, with many comments supporting both sides of the paint job.

The car outside the attraction has been painted to match, as well. It looks perfect for The Electric Mayhem, and considering it’s their ride, maybe they approve of the paint.

Disney also gave us a new look inside, where we got to see the queue and loading zone.

There are tons of hidden details and easter eggs that Muppet fans are going to be obsessed with. We already spot favorites from the movies, but we’re ready to climb inside and see it for ourselves.

They also shared a look at the animatronics coming, and they look so good! The whole band is represented.

What I’m looking forward to is the preshow, though. I can’t wait to see the penguins and Scooter.

Disney also shared the tracklist, which is also causing some opinions! The songs include:
- “Song 2” by The Electric Mayhem (made famous by Blur)
- “Born To Be Wild” by The Electric Mayhem featuring Camilla the Chicken (made famous by Steppenwolf)
- “Love Rollercoaster” – The Electric Mayhem ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove

I’m completely down with The Muppets takeover and the rainbow connection of colors. What I don’t like are the song choices. I think they could have picked better tunes. But I’m going to keep an open mind, because the Aerosmith version was getting dated (and yes, I do like Aerosmith’s music a lot.)
