Disney World will soon reveal the opening date and the full set list for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
In a social media post on Monday, Disney teased the reveals along with a countdown clock for April 16.
Disney also shared the first song from the set list, “Song 2” by Blur, which will be performed by the Electric Mayhem.
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is a revamped version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith, which closed on March 1.
As part of the Muppet makeover, the ride will get a tweaked storyline. Visitors will still get a V.I.P tour of G-Force Record, but instead of Aerosmith, they will find Dr. Teeth, Animal and other Electric Mayhem characters in the recording studio.
After stopping in on a jam session, visitors will board a “very fast limousine” to make to the Electric Mayhem concert across town. The Hollywood-inspired scenery and landmarks along the way will get a “Muppet twist,” Disney previously said.
Disney has not yet revealed how Kermit, Miss Piggy and Gonzo will be featured in the attraction, but a poster for the ride indicated they will be “special guests.”
The outside of the attraction will also get an update. The giant guitar near the entrance will get a psychedelic.
The large upside down car in the archway of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster sign has been painted in the psychedelic color scheme.
Other changes are coming to Hollywood Studios. The Magic of Disney Animation, which will feature a drawing experience with Olaf and character meet and greets, will open late summer.
Millenum Falcon: Smugglers Run will debut a new adventure on May 22.
And beyond that, Disney is adding a “Monsters, Inc.”-inspired land in the former Muppets Courtyard area. It will feature Disney’s first suspended coaster.
