After announcing last year that the long-running Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith would be flipped to a Muppets theme, Disney World has quietly removed the Aerosmith branding from the thrill ride located at its Hollywood Studios park in Orlando, Florida.
As Entertainment Weekly reports, an Aerosmith video pre-show that was shown to riders as they entered the loading area has been permanently removed and boarded up as construction commences on the new Muppets theme. The Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is expected to launch in Summer 2026, focusing on the fictional band The Electric Mayhem featuring Animal on drums.
The Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith launched in 1999. The ride will continue to run as construction continues on the new Muppets theme, and the giant guitar that rests in the courtyard of the ride will remain, but will be rebranded with Muppets artwork.
