Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets — The Story and The Characters

The Muppets have moved to Sunset Boulevard and taken over what was Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith. The Muppets are the star of the show on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and have teamed up with some of “music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival.”

Listen up, music — umm, Muppet — fans: You’re going to be treated to a VIP tour of  G-Force Records, which is under new management by The Muppets!

Be prepared for G-Force Records’ snazzy new look now that Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse, is in charge.

Speaking of Scooter… here is a look at the first‑ever Audio‑Animatronics figure of Scooter in the attraction, which was created using motion-capture of the actual Scooter the Muppet!

And here are his trusty audio engineers… the penguins!

The thing is, Electric Mayhem is also lined up to headline their biggest Hollywood concert ever… but they’re WAY too busy groovin’ inside G-Force (to “the familiar tunes of Can You Picture That?“) and run the risk of being LATE for the big gig.

And now it’s up to Kermit, Miss Piggy and more pals from the Muppets to find a way to get Electric Mayhem to the concert!

And YOU are along for the rockin’ ride!

Members of Electric Mayhem can be seen throughout the attraction! Get ready to see Dr. Teeth.

He’s accompanied by Zoot.

Sgt. Floyd Pepper and Janice are in the Mayhem mix.

Lips is in the house!

And they’re joined by none other than Animal!

Throughout the coaster, you’ll see the iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown, but with a Muppet twist. Oh, and those super-stretch limos have stuck around, as Disney teased, “With the help from our friends at Muppet Labs and a very fast limousine, we’ll take a twisting, turning, and screamingly fun road trip across Hollywood to reach the concert in time.”

This is the first Disney ride to feature The Muppets and Disney promises “laughter, screams and new tunes for this attraction for fans to enjoy throughout the adventure.”

You’ll be attempting to reach that concert in time with the help of a Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.) as created by Muppet Labs.

The super-powered vehicle takes you through 3 inversions (2 rollover loops and 1 corkscrew) following a 0 to 57 mph launch in 2.8 seconds on this zany indoor dark roller coaster.

Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets — The Soundtrack

The Muppets in Disney’s Hollywood Studios

In August 2024, Disney revealed plans for a Monsters, Inc. land coming to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Then in November 2024, Disney confirmed the upcoming location of the new land. It was shared that Monsters, Inc. land will be taking over the Grand Avenue south side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. This area was also home to Muppets Courtyard. 

Muppets Courtyard hosted Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano and the Muppets-themed PizzeRizzo eatery. The Muppet*Vision 3D attraction, which opened in May of 1991 (when the area was named the Streets of America), was also located in Muppets Courtyard.

To make way for Monstropolis,  a phased closure in the area began in May 2025 and ended on June 8th, resulting in the permanent closure of Mama Melrose’s Ristorante Italiano, and PizzeRizzo, as well as Muppet*Vision 3D.

Along with the Monsters Inc. location announcement, Disney revealed that The Muppets would be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, ensuring that The Muppets will still have a presence in Hollywood Studios.
