Aerosmith Preshow Closes as Disney Kicks Off Muppets Retheme of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster

Disney will keep the coaster operating until spring 2026 by phasing work to shorten the full closure before a summer relaunch.

Overview

  • Disney confirms the Aerosmith pre-show is permanently closed and the room is walled off as early Muppets construction begins.
  • The current Aerosmith ride remains available to guests until spring 2026, with a full refurbishment to follow and reopening targeted for summer 2026.
  • Phased interior work allows Imagineering to start the transformation now while minimizing overall downtime for the attraction.
  • The new storyline centers on Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, with animatronic Scooter and penguin audio engineers in the preshow and appearances by Kermit and Miss Piggy on screens.
  • The exterior’s giant guitar will receive a vibrant psychedelic makeover, including a golden piano key nod to Dr. Teeth.
