bringing a new twist to the classic attraction in 2026!!

Hold on to your rubber chicken – Disney just dropped a Muppet-flavoured bombshell! The legendary Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is saying goodbye to Aerosmith and hello to the most chaotic band in history: Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem. Opening in 2026, this new retheme is about to crank up the fun, the funk, and the furry mayhem.

from aerosmith to animal

Since 1999, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has been all about the cool, guitar-shredding vibe of Aerosmith. but Disney is turning the amps to ridiculous by handing the keys to the Muppets. For the first time ever, the Muppets will headline a full-throttle thrill ride, and honestly, it feels like destiny.

The storyline: Pure muppet madness

Guests are invited into a revamped version of G-Force Records, now under Muppet management (because apparently Scooter’s uncle, J.P. Grosse, signed the papers without reading the fine print). Inside, the preshow, you’ll find the Electric Mayhem band jamming away – while penguin audio engineers scurry around and Scooter desperately tries to wrangle the band for their big Hollywood concert.

Of course, the band is nowhere to be found. In true muppet fashion, everything goes sideways, and the only solution? Stuff guest into a tricked-out Muppet limo and rocket them across town to make the show on time.

The coaster launches you into high-speed chaos through Hollywood landmarks – each one hilariously “Muppet-ified.” And blasting through your ride vehicles speakers? A custom soundtrack of Electric Mayhem hits. Expect big riffs, wild grooves, and probably Animal screaming “FASTER!” at least once.

a funky new look

The iconic giant red guitar out front? Don’t worry, it’s not disappearing. Instead, it’s getting a psychedelic makeover inspired by the band’s groovy van, complete with trippy patterns, a piano motif at the base, and even a golden key – a nod to Dr. Teeth’s famous gold tooth. It’s the perfect mix of family and funky.

why fans are excited

This retheme comes right after the emotional closure of MuppetVision 3D in June 2025, which left long time fans heartbroken. The theatre had been running for 34 years, and saying goodbye wasn’t easy. But this new ride is proof that Disney isn’t letting the Muppets fade away – they’re giving them a bold, loud, and completely unhinged new stage.

It’s also something totally unique for the Muppets: They’ve done shows, movies, and parades, but never a thrill ride. The combination of slapstick comedy, a full-on rock concert, and coaster-level adrenaline is something Disney has never done before.

final thoughts

The Muppet Mayhem Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster isn’t just a ride – it’s a love letter to Jim Henson’s legacy and a reminder that the Muppets are still here to make us laugh, sing, and scream (sometimes all at once). It’s chaotic, it’s colourful, and its 100% Muppet magic.

So, whether you’re a diehard fan or just here for the thrills, start tuning your air guitar now. Come 2026, you’ll be racing through Hollywood with Dr. Teeth and the gang – Animal included.
