Disney has packed the Rock n Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets with numerous hidden references and Easter eggs for observant guests. The attraction features a gallery case curated by Yolanda the rat containing a replica of Kermit’s original Rainbow Connection banjo. Various props from MuppetVision 3D have been recycled and repurposed throughout the queue, including the Great Gonzo banner and Statler and Waldorf’s theater seats. The alleyway displays Fozzie’s bowtie and a PizzeRizzo apron hanging from the laundry line. Several citations in the parking garage reference significant dates like Kermit’s TV debut on May 9 1955. The attraction also includes nods to classic Muppet moments such as Bean Bunny running away and the Swedish Chef being fired upon by penguins. Hidden details like the address of Walt Disney Imagineering headquarters and Jim Henson’s birth year on the Squeakeasy sign add layers of meaning. Even the Interpol car from Muppets Most Wanted appears as a test subject in the Muppet Labs Automotive Division. These clever references celebrate the rich history of The Muppets while enhancing the immersive experience of the ride.
