Disney Closes Rock 'n' Roller Coaster’s Aerosmith Pre-Show as Muppets Retheme Work Starts

The move lets Imagineers begin a phased transformation inside the queue while keeping the coaster running ahead of a planned Summer 2026 debut.

Overview

  • New G-Force Records–themed panels now cover the recording studio windows, and guests are routed directly from the pre-show room to the load area.
  • Disney and multiple outlets report that interior work has begun to minimize downtime, and the company has not announced a full-ride closure date.
  • The reimagined experience will introduce an Electric Mayhem pre-show with Scooter as an Audio-Animatronics figure, penguin audio engineers, and appearances by Kermit and Miss Piggy.
  • Concept art shows a psychedelic refresh of the iconic guitar outside, including a golden piano key nod to Dr. Teeth.
  • Cast Members and visitors described the removal as unannounced, and the coaster continues to operate for now with the Muppets version slated to open in Summer 2026.
