Overview
- Guests have until March 1 to ride the Aerosmith version before closure begins March 2, with Disney targeting a summer 2026 reopening.
- Phased work is already underway as the original preshow has been removed and a December 18 permit naming Mecca Productions covers on‑site set installation.
- The new narrative centers on Electric Mayhem with Scooter as band manager, penguin audio engineers in the studio, and appearances by Kermit, Miss Piggy, and Gonzo.
- Disney says the coaster’s track and ride system will remain while exterior elements, including the giant guitar, are redesigned to match the Muppets theme.
- Crowds are expected to swell for last‑chance rides, and park reporters note the single rider line is often as long as standby, making Lightning Lane a potentially quicker option.
