Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith Closing Date Announced. Disney parks are known for magic, music, and memories — but sometimes that magic comes with goodbyes. After more than 25 years of high-octane thrills, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios is officially closing its doors to make way for a new adventure on this coaster.
According to the Walt Disney World website, the iconic indoor roller coasters last day guests can ride is March 1, 2026.
Since opening on July 29th, 1999, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has been a staple of Hollywood Studios’ Sunset Boulevard. The ride’s premise — blasting off from a recording studio in a super-stretch limo to make it to an Aerosmith concert on time — has entertained several generations of Disney thrill-seekers.
So what is next for the coaster? Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will start to welcome guests in the summer of 2026.
The Electric Mayhem are headlining their biggest Hollywood concert ever! Anyone who’s anyone is in attendance to witness Animal, Dr. Teeth, and the rest of this groove-tastic group rock the house down. There’s just one little problem: the band is nowhere to be found!
Across town at G-Force Records, we’re treated to a VIP tour of the legendary rock and roll recording studio. Things might look a little different around this Hollywood institution, as the label has recently come under new management – The Muppets! We’re happy to say that our colorful crew has landed some new digs… with just a little help from Scooter’s uncle, real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse (he really puts the G in G-Force). Just wait until you see how they’ve made these hallowed halls their own, creating the perfect place to make sweet, sweet Muppet music together!
With your VIP passes, you’ll be welcomed inside the recording studio, where – wouldn’t you know it – you’ll find the Electric Mayhem are cranking out some seriously rocking tunes. Along with the finest audio engineers (all penguins, of course) we’ll see Scooter doing his best to convince Electric Mayhem to stop jamming and get to their increasingly restless fans. But will it be enough to get the band across town and onstage in time?
With the help from our friends at Muppet Labs and a very fast limousine, we’ll take a twisting, turning, and screamingly fun road trip across Hollywood to reach the concert in time. The iconic scenery and landmarks of Tinseltown will feature a Muppet twist when the attraction debuts in summer 2026.
And throughout the journey, you’ll hear the Electric Mayhem playing some of the most iconic, rockin’ hits in your ears to keep the music and adrenaline pumping. I’m sure G Force Records will release a concert setlist soon.
As of today we don’t have an exact date of the opening of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, but as soon as we do we will share it with all.
As a life long fan of the Muppets, I’m pretty excited for the Muppets to take over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster?
