Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios has received updated theming on its giant piano motif, including a gold-painted key inspired by Dr. Teeth's signature gold tooth. The reimagined attraction opens on 26th May 2026, with Annual Passholder previews scheduled earlier that month.
Construction walls around the area came down several days ago, revealing the updated piano design beneath the attraction's guitar. All but one of the black keys have been reinstalled on the oversized instrument, with one white key now painted gold as a character-specific detail.
What changes have been made to the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster piano?
The most notable update is the gold-painted white key, directly referencing Dr. Teeth's distinctive gold tooth from The Muppet Show. This represents the first visible sign of how Disney plans to integrate Muppets theming into the former Aerosmith attraction's exterior elements.
One black key remains absent from the piano, positioned where it would cross over the newly painted gold key. It's unconfirmed whether this missing key has since been installed or if this represents the final design choice.
When will Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets open to guests?
The attraction officially opens to all guests on 26th May 2026. Annual Passholders will have exclusive preview opportunities in May 2026, though specific dates remain unconfirmed.
Disney has confirmed that the public opening will not require a virtual queue. However, Passholder previews will use the virtual queue system to manage capacity during these special sessions.
How does this affect Disney's Hollywood Studios visitors?
The piano modifications offer guests their first glimpse of the Muppets theming being incorporated into the high-speed indoor coaster. The Dr. Teeth-inspired gold key suggests character details will extend throughout the attraction experience.
Other changes to the attraction beyond the piano updates remain unconfirmed. Disney has not revealed details about modifications to the queue, pre-show areas, or the onboard soundtrack and experience.
When Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets opens in May 2026, it will offer a fresh take on the popular Disney's Hollywood Studios attraction, blending the existing thrill ride with the irreverent humour of the Muppets characters.
