The newly revealed Rock 'n' Roller Coaster guitar design contains a clever Easter egg that pays homage to one of the most beloved vehicles in Muppets history. This intricate detail not only showcases Disney's attention to nostalgia but may also hint at the upcoming attraction's soundtrack.
What Easter Egg is Hidden in the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Guitar Design?
Eagle-eyed Muppets fans will immediately recognise the swirling stars and psychedelic patterns adorning the bottom of the guitar in the concept art. These distinctive markings are a direct tribute to Fozzie Bear's iconic Studebaker from the 1979 classic film The Muppet Movie.
The original Studebaker's wild paint job was created by The Electric Mayhem band within the film's storyline, explaining its groovy, far-out appearance. This same aesthetic has been lovingly recreated on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster guitar, creating a seamless connection between the classic Muppets film and the upcoming Disney's Hollywood Studios attraction.
Could This Design Hint at the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Song List?
With the full song list announcement scheduled for 16th April, this Muppet Movie reference has sparked speculation about potential track inclusions. The Electric Mayhem's signature song from the 1979 film was "Can You Picture That?", which could make for an excellent high-energy coaster soundtrack.
Whilst "Rainbow Connection" remains the most cherished song from The Muppet Movie, the specific reference to The Electric Mayhem's handiwork suggests Disney may be dropping subtle hints about the musical direction of the revamped attraction.
What Do We Know About the New Muppets Attraction Songs?
Disney has already confirmed that "Song 2" will feature on the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets soundtrack. This appears to be The Electric Mayhem's interpretation of Blur's 1997 hit, known for its driving energy and memorable "woo-hoo" vocals that would suit a thrilling coaster experience perfectly.
The announcement strategy involves revealing "one track at a time" leading up to the comprehensive song list disclosure. This approach builds anticipation amongst Disney World guests who are eagerly awaiting details about their favourite characters' musical offerings.
