Overview
- Walt Disney Imagineering filed a new Notice of Commencement on January 7 to “install set elements” at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.
- This is the second recent permit centered on set installation, following an earlier filing in December as the retheme advances.
- Reports list the contractor as Job Richards Company in one account and Jon Richards Company in another, reflecting a naming discrepancy in coverage.
- The Aerosmith preshow is permanently closed and boarded up, and work is concentrated in that area while the coaster continues operating.
- The Aerosmith version runs through March 1, with closure starting March 2 and a planned summer 2026 reopening as Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, featuring a redesigned preshow with Muppet Audio‑Animatronics such as Scooter.
