Walt Disney World has shared a first look at its new Muppets-themed Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, opening at Disney's Hollywood Studios on 26 May.
As well as a glimpse at the ride vehicles, Disney has unveiled the attraction's updated guitar marquee, the first-ever audio-animatronics figure of Scooter, F&B created by Swedish Chef, and Statler and Waldorf's appearance in the ride.
Starting with the attraction's iconic guitar marquee in the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster courtyard, this now features a psychedelic design inspired by the classic Muppet car paint job.
Disney has also revealed the first-ever audio-animatronics figure of Scooter, brought to life using motion-capture technology of Scooter the actual Muppet.
Via a blog post, Walt Disney Imagineering built and programmed a figure that looks, moves and emotes exactly like Scooter should by recording and tracking the Muppet's performance.
Additionally, Disney has teased the super-powered ride vehicle, known as the Lengthy Immediate Motion Object (L.I.M.O.).
As for F&B, dishes and drinks created created by Swedish Chef including Wocka Wocking Nachos and Pond Water Limeade will be available at FØØD in the courtyard.
And, as previously revealed, the set list for the on-ride music is as follows:
- 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

Disney also previously announced several celebrity cameos throughout the ride experience, including Awkwafina, Danny Trejo, Darren Criss, John Stamos, Neil Patrick Harris, Travis Barker, Yvette Nicole Brown, Wayne Brady, and “Weird Al” Yankovic.
Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens on 26 May and replaces the park's former Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith.
