Disney Files Construction Permit for Recently Re‑themed Muppets Coaster

Overview

• Disney’s Sourcing & Procurement filed a construction permit on August 26, 2026 that contracts Buena Vista Construction Company to provide labor, materials and/or electrical work for Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.
• The permit covers a one‑year window and does not specify scope, and Disney has not issued a public statement clarifying whether the work is minor or substantial.
• The ride only recently completed a full conversion from its long‑running Aerosmith theme to a Muppets storyline with a new soundtrack, reworked queue and updated on‑ride effects.
• Industry observers note that public permit filings often cover routine punch‑list items, final touch‑ups or maintenance after a reopening, which is a plausible explanation for this document.
• The filing arrives as Hollywood Studios continues a wider Redevelopment program near the coaster, including a Monsters, Inc. land with a partial 2027 opening, and fans should watch for any official Disney updates or future closures that would signal bigger changes.
