Disney’s Hollywood Studios is preparing for the official opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets on May 26. A private courtyard concert celebrated the event with The Electric Mayhem band, various Muppet characters, and celebrity guests including John Stamos. The celebration featured performances of classic rock songs, fireworks, and even some comedic interruptions from Joe the Legal Weasel. This revamped attraction replaces the previous Aerosmith theme with new queue scenes, celebrity cameos, and a soundtrack built around The Electric Mayhem’s rock style. The ride experience includes a VIP tour with the band and a super-powered L.I.M.O. transportation sequence. For Muppet fans, this retheme offers a chaotic and entertaining experience at the theme park.
