They visited on January 27 to say a final farewell before the ride closes in March to become Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith will close on March 2, 2026. The last day to experience the ride is March 1, 2026.

WDWNT is saying goodbye to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith with the Sweet Emotional Farewell Tour this February. Get your tickets!

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

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.

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.
