Disney shared the first concept art, details, and logo for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
Muppets Rock n Roller Coaster Concept Art
The new version of the attraction will be named Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. A new version of the previously-released poster features the logo, with “Starring The Muppets” in a graffiti style. The artwork is also slightly updated, with a different design on the car.
The Muppets will replace Aerosmith as the attraction’s stars next year.
New concept art of the Muppets Rock n Roller Coaster’s exterior includes a psychedelic makeover for the giant guitar in Rock n Roller Coaster Courtyard. The piano motif at the base of the guitar will include one gold key as a nod to Dr. Teeth’s gold tooth. A permit was filed for paint work on the guitar in April. The concept art also includes the poster on the wall of the building.
Guests are on a VIP tour of G-Force Records. Though the Electric Mayhem have a concert across town, they’re delayed in the recording studio, which guests will see as part of the new pre-show.
In the booth is a team of penguin audio engineers. The penguins and Scooter are animatronics. Miss Piggy and Kermit appear on screens.
According to the backstory, Scooter’s uncle — real estate tycoon and owner of the Muppet Theatre, J.P. Grosse — purchased G-Force Records and put Scooter in charge.
After the pre-show, guests board the attraction. “With the help from our friends at Muppet Labs and a very fast limousine,” Disney describes, “we’ll take a twisting, turning, and screamingly fun road trip across Hollywood to reach the concert in time.”
The scenery and landmarks will feature a Muppet twist. Guests will also hear the Electric Mayhem playing iconic hits. Disney teased a setlist coming soon.
The Muppet takeover of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster comes after MuppetVision 3D closed permanently to make way for a Monsters, Inc. land on the other side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
