On the day of the MuppetVision 3D permanent closure, Walt Disney World has announced that The Muppets takeover of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster will debut in 2026. A more exact timeframe has not yet been announced. A closure date for the Aerosmith version of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has not yet been announced, but Walt Disney World has said that it will remain open through the end of 2025 (at least).
Muppets Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Opening in 2026
In terms of what to expect when The Muppets take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, we haven’t seen anything yet to suggest that it will be a substantial change. In terms of physical sets, there probably isn’t a huge need to demolish and create anything new of significance. We’d expect the same roller coaster layout, the same spacious gravity building – perhaps even the same black light flat scenes within the ride. There probably isn’t a huge need to change the load area or launch area theming – the vehicles can stay the same too. In fact, it’s possible that the switchover will require relatively minimal downtime, with the pre-show video and perhaps some simple props in display cases throughout the queue being swapped out.
I’m sure Imagineers have a detailed list of anything that says or resembles Aerosmith, and they probably have replacements in the works or thought up already.
