First Visible Star Added to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Guitar at Disney’s Hollywood Studios

As work continues on the refurbishment of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, we noticed that crews are still hard at work painting the iconic guitar outside. Today, that included adding a star(s) to the guitar’s body.

As you can see above, we've circled the outline of what appears to be a yellowish star. The concept art for the reimagining of the guitar has several yellow stars on it, so this could be the one star that is planned to be on this upper portion of the guitar.

In addition to that star, there are others of varying sizes anticipated to be on the guitar, as seen in the concept art above.

With the entire guitar covered in scrim, painting has been ongoing. A few days ago, we mentioned that colorful stripes have been added, and the whole building is now a fresh shade of dark grey.

Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will open on May 26, 2026.

Though dates haven’t been announced, Disney confirmed Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster previews for Cast Members, Disney Vacation Club Members, and Annual Passholders.

Disney recently launched an official webpage for the revamped ride. They released the complete tracklist, announced celebrity cameos, and shared The Electric Mayhem posters. The celebrities and posters will appear in the queue, likely alongside MuppetVision 3D props.

The Muppets band jams in a studio as fans watch and snap photos—like concept art come to life.

Guests will meet The Electric Mayhem in the recording booth of G-Force Records, which was purchased by Scooter’s uncle, J.P. Grosse. To make it to The Electric Mayhem’s concert across town, guests will board Muppet Labs’ Lengthy Immediate Motion Object – L.I.M.O.
