Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open on May 26! For those already making plans, that’s the day after Memorial Day. (It’s also the day that Soarin’ Across America will open, and the first day of Cool Kids’ Summer.) There is a lot of new information on this fun twist on the classic ride at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Here are the details (including news on previews) from Malory Heinz Ledet, Alex González, and Disney Parks Blog.

Crank the volume and warm up those air guitars because Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is officially ready to take center stage at Disney’s Hollywood Studios!
Starting May 26, the legendary ride roars back to life with a rock-charged remix that drops guests straight into the middle of The Electric Mayhem’s biggest night yet. With high-speed thrills, a pulse pounding soundtrack, and a VIP list like no other, this reimagined attraction hits all the right notes.
The Electric Mayhem: One Night Only!
The Electric Mayhem is headlining the most buzzworthy concert Hollywood has ever seen. Dr. Teeth, Animal, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, and Lips are ready to rock the house – and everyone who’s anyone will be there.
There’s just one little problem – the band is nowhere to be found!
Your VIP tour kicks off inside G-Force Records—an iconic rock-and-roll recording studio where the magic (and mayhem) is just getting started.
A Courtyard of Mayhem
Out in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster courtyard, the attraction’s iconic guitar marquee will be making a bold new statement.
The Electric Mayhem has put their own spin on that ruby-red guitar, featuring a vibrant, psychedelic design inspired by the classic Muppet car paint job. The piano motif at the base will feature a golden key as a nod to a certain far-out band leader.
Star-Studded Halls of Rock
G-Force Records is opening its legendary doors, giving you a peek at where the melodic magic takes place. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management!
We’re happy to say that our colorful crew has landed some new digs… with just a little help from Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse (he really puts the G in G-Force).
With posters in every corner highlighting the iconic band’s larger-than-life career, you’ll have plenty of groovy backgrounds to strike your best pose.
And while you’re taking it all in, keep your eyes open. Sharp-eyed guests will spot celebrity cameos woven throughout the experience, starting in the queue and continuing all the way through the merch shop. You might get to spot:
- Awkwafina
- Danny Trejo
- Darren Criss
- John Stamos
- Neil Patrick Harris
- Travis Barker
- Yvette Nicole Brown
- Wayne Brady
- “Weird Al” Yankovic
Welcome to G-Force Records
With your VIP passes, you’ll be welcomed inside the recording studio, where – wouldn’t you know it – you’ll find The Electric Mayhem cranking out the familiar tunes of Can You Picture That? as they rehearse for their big concert. You’ll be immersed in the story with the first-ever Audio-Animatronics figure of Scooter, who’s joined by the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course). They’re doing their best to convince The Electric Mayhem to stop jamming and get to their increasingly restless fans, but will it be enough to get the band across town and on stage in time?
Thanks to the newest technological advancements from Muppets Labs, we’ll board a super-powered vehicle in the alleyway just behind Studio C known as the Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.)!
Cue the Music: The Set List Is Locked
What’s a rock show without a killer set list? For Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, the music takes center stage. The Electric Mayhem teamed up with some of rock’s biggest names to deliver a lineup of tracks designed to crank the adrenaline from the loading zone to the final brake run.
Here’s what’s on the set list:
- Song 2 – The Electric Mayhem
- Born To Be Wild – The Electric Mayhem ft. Camilla the Chicken
- Love Rollercoaster – The Electric Mayhem ft. Jennifer Hudson & Questlove
- Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) – The Electric Mayhem ft. Def Leppard
- Walking on Sunshine – The Electric Mayhem ft. Kelly Clarkson
Each song brings its own energy, tempo, and attitude, creating a concert style experience where the soundtrack doesn’t just play – it goes from zero to sixty in three… two… one! And like any great show, the fun doesn’t stop with the final note. We heard the band’s been working on some bonus tracks…
With the opening date officially set for May 26, the band is warming up and the L.I.M.O. engines are revving. So grab your shades. Prepare those vocal cords. This concert is about to go from rehearsal to headline act.
And this is just the beginning – stay tuned for even more surprises still to come, including previews for cast members, eligible Disney Vacation Club Members and Annual Passholders!
