Every Easter Egg, secret inside Disney's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Hollywood Studios
LAKE BUENA VISTA, Fla. - It is almost time to rock out with The Muppets at Walt Disney World's Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Hollywood Studios! The fan-favorite coaster has ditched the Aerosmith music for The Muppets band, The Electric Mayhem.
There are a ton of new updates to know about: a new storyline, five new songs, celebrity cameos, Easter eggs, and subtle nods to Disney Parks' connection to The Muppets.
We went behind the scenes! FOX 35’s Ashley Carter stepped inside the reimagined coaster to bring you the ultimate guide for Disney fans and Muppet lovers alike (warning: spoilers below).
When does the ride open to the public?
While Cast Members and Annual Passholders have early previews, the ride officially opens to theme park guests on Friday, May 22, 2026.
G-Force Records under new management + celebrity cameos
The Muppets, who were previously featured in the MuppetVision 3D, which closed in 2025 to make way for a "Monsters, Inc."-themed area, have a new home at G-Force Records.
Before boarding the ride, they will travel through the recording studio, where they find digital posters featuring cameos from celebrities like Weird Al Yankovic, Yvette Nicole Brown, John Stamos and Darren Criss.
Don't miss these Muppet memories inside the queue
As you enter the G-Force lobby, there are several Muppets items on display, including Miss Piggy's famous pink polka dot dress and Kermit's iconic banjo. You can also see Animal's famous drum set.

A brand-new preshow
The attraction's new storyline kicks in during the preshow. The Muppets house band, The Electric Mayhem, featuring Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Janice, Zoot, Lips and Animal, are rehearsing for their concert as Scooter tries to get them to pack up so they can get to the venue on time.

Scooter appears as a brand-new audio-animatronic figure that Disney Imagineers brought to life using motion capture technology. Fans of MuppetVision, will also see the penguin animatronics from that show.
Looking for Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo? Don't worry, you'll see them too.
Riding in a very fast L.I.M.O.
For the revamped storyline, riders will still travel through Hollywood to the concert in a very fast limo. But this isn't your standard limousine. Guests will board a Muppets Lab creation called the Lengthy Immediate Motion Object, or L.I.M.O, to make it to the show on time.
Disney used the same ride vehicles from the Aerosmith days, but they've been redesigned, given a psychedelic color scheme to match the Electric Mayhem. The track is also the same, but look for different Hollywood landmarks and characters along the route, like Gonzo and Camilla the Chicken.
Here are the songs you can rock out to
Once the countdown begins, you'll experience one of five different tracks:
- "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
The songs will be randomized for each vehicle, similar to the set-up at Guardians of the Galaxy: Cosmic Rewind at EPCOT.
Secrets are out – don't miss these Easter eggs
We spotted a few Easter eggs in Disney's revamped Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Some are nods to the Aerosmith version of the ride, but others pay tribute to Disney's MuppetVision 3D.
- It's all about those backstage passes: During the preshow, Kermit suggests giving guests "some backstage passes," a line uttered by Steven Tyler during the Rock ‘n’ Roll Aerosmith version.
- RIP MuppetVision 3D: Look for a large red crate labeled "The Great Gonzo Weird Stuff" in the loading area before boarding the ride. That's a prop from the now-closed MuppetVision 3D show.
- An Easter egg right at the end: Don't miss a tribute to Muppets creator, Jim Henson, as soon as you get off the ride.
Why the Muppets?
Since its opening in 1999, Rock 'n' Roller Coaster featured Aerosmith and the band's famous songs like "Walk This Way" and "Love in a Elevator."
But it was time for a change and Disney went with the Muppets. Why?
Disney Imagineers said the Muppets fit perfectly with the ride's energy.
"The Muppets are just a really fun, quirky, silly group that just matches the energy that was already here with the high-speed thrill attraction," said Vanessa Huber, project manager with Walt Disney Imagineering.
More attractions on the way
There are numerous projects happening within Disney World's theme parks:
- Big Thunder Mountain Railroad recently reopened at Magic Kingdom after being closed for nearly 16 months for an extended renovation.
- Inside Hollywood Studios, MuppetVision 3D and The Muppets Courtyard were closed for a Monsters Inc.-themed land and Disney's first-ever suspended coaster.
- Inside Animal Kingdom, Dinoland U.S.A. closed for the construction of Tropical Americas, which will feature a new Indian Jones ride and Encanto-themed area.
- At Magic Kingdom, Piston Peak, a new Cars-themed land, is under construction where Tom Sawyer Island was.
- Right behind Big Thunder, Disney Imagineers are designing and building an entirely new land dedicated to Disney's infamous villains.
