The Muppets to replace Aerosmith at Disney's Rock ’N’ Roller Coaster

The new musicians won’t have to travel too far for their new gig — they’ve been at Disney’s Hollywood Studios since 1991.

ORLANDO, Fla. — Step aside, Steven Tyler. A new group of world-famous musicians is taking over Walt Disney World’s Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster.

After 25 years, The Muppets will be replacing Aerosmith on the high-speed coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.

The news came on Saturday in an announcement from Kermit the Frog himself.

“The Muppets are eagerly preparing for our upcoming relocation to Sunset Boulevard at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World,” he mentioned. “We’re thrilled to be part of the Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster — the first Muppet-themed roller coaster in the world!”

The good news is, The Muppets won’t have to travel too far for their new gig. 

By coincidence or design, Saturday was the final operating day for Muppet*Vision 3D, an attraction located on the opposite side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, mimicking the Muppet Theater from the beloved television show.

Muppet*Vision 3D debuted at the park 34 years ago, specifically on May 16, 1991. It is closing down to make space for the upcoming Monsters, Inc. Land at Hollywood Studios.

Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster, on the other hand, has taken fans along on Aerosmith’s high-speed stretch-limo ride to their concert since the ride opened on July 29, 1999.

People certainly had mixed feelings about the changes, with some questioning whether young fans of The Muppets are even tall enough to ride the roller coaster. However, when Disney first hinted at the plans in January, it said, “We know so many of you share our love for The Muppets and know their energy will be a perfect fit for this coaster.”

It’s not clear if the new Muppet version of Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster will go from 0 to 60 miles per hour in 2.8 seconds, or if the two rollover loops and one corkscrew are here to stay. But we do know that fans can enjoy the ride with Aerosmith through the end of 2025.

The revamped Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster starring The Muppets is set to open in 2026.
