Hollywood Studios Faces Capacity Squeeze With Muppet Area Closed and Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Set to Shut in Early 2026

Disney has not detailed how it will manage crowding during the overlapping outages.

Overview

The Muppet-themed courtyard and Muppet Vision 3D are closed to clear space for the planned Monstropolis project.
Disney has confirmed Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will close in early 2026 for a full Muppet retheme.
Reporters warn the overlap will cut both attraction capacity and guest circulation in one of Disney World’s most compact parks.
The closure removed a theater, nearby dining, and shaded rest areas that previously helped disperse visitors.
Coverage notes no public mitigation plan from Disney and suggests interim steps such as extended show schedules, small-scale entertainment, pop-up dining, and Lightning Lane adjustments.
