Disney Removes Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster’s Aerosmith Preshow Without Notice, Drawing Fan Outcry

Overview

• Guests discovered the preshow had quietly disappeared, with some learning of the change only during their visit or after returning home.
• Fans criticized the lack of communication, saying they were denied a chance to plan a final experience or say goodbye.
• Reaction focused less on the retheme itself and more on how the update was handled without prior acknowledgment.
• Disney has confirmed the attraction will be reimagined as Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets with a target debut in summer 2026.
• Supporters of the update cite the Muppets’ broader appeal, though many still fault Disney for not announcing the preshow’s end in advance.
