Closing Date announced for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, will take guests on a wild ride across Hollywood with the Electric Mayhem – complete with backstage chaos, high-speed thrills, that signature Muppet humor… and an all-new Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure. 

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will not be starring Aerosmith for much longer with the rock band to be replaced by The Muppets in summer 2026, and you don't have much longer to catch a limo with the iconic rock band Aerosmith, with Walt Disney World announcing the closure date ahead of the ride being transformed into a new Muppets attraction.

The indoor limo-themed roller coaster on Sunset Boulevard, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will close on March 2, 2026, with March 1, 2026, the last day to experience the ride in its current form.

The preshow of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith is already covered as Disney Imaginners prepare for the upcoming transition to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.

The roads will be rockin’ and the party won't be stoppin’ when Scooter, Kermit, Miss Piggy, Animal and the Muppets gang take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios next year, and Walt Disney World has revealed that Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will be opening in Summer 2026.

Check out the latest theme park news and updates from Walt Disney World, Universal Orlando, SeaWorld Orlando, LEGOLAND Florida, and Busch Gardens Tampa Bay.

The Muppets transformation begins in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Courtyard. Legendary Muppet tycoon and owner of The Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse, has purchased G-Force Records and has enlisted the help of his trusty nephew Scooter to run the place and completely transform the courtyard.

A new psychedelic wrap will give the iconic red guitar marquee a groovy twist (inspired by a classic Muppet car paint job), and the piano motif at the base of the guitar will feature one gold key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader’s gold tooth. 

Once inside the queue, VIP visitors will discover The Muppets band Electric Mayhem laying down new tracks inside the recording studio.

Side by side with a dedicated team of penguin audio engineers, Scooter, in his capacity as band manager, will be trying hard to convince the Electric Mayhem to stop laying down tracks so they won’t be late to their own concert.

This will be the first time Scooter has ever been imagined as an Audio-Animatronics figure, and Scotter will not be the only Muppet Audio-Animatronics figure joining the attraction… but we’ll have to wait to learn more about that. 

With help from Muppet Labs (and a very fast limousine), guests will take a twisting, turning, and screamingly fun road trip across Hollywood to reach the concert in time. The iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown will feature a Muppet twist while a soundtrack of iconic, rockin’ hits performed by Electric Mayhem keeps the adrenaline pumping. 

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open in Summer 2026
