It's Official: Muppets Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Opens May 26 — With a Set List
Disney has confirmed the opening date for Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Hollywood Studios — and revealed the full track lineup to go with it.
The wait is over: Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets officially opens at Disney's Hollywood Studios on May 26, 2026 — Memorial Day weekend. Disney announced both the date and the attraction's complete music set list this morning, giving fans their first full picture of what to expect from the reimagined ride. The original Aerosmith coaster closed last year for the conversion, and the Muppets theme has been one of the most anticipated rethemes in recent Disney Parks history. May 26 marks the beginning of what shaping up to be a loaded summer at Hollywood Studios.
