Disney Strips Aerosmith From Rock 'n' Roller Coaster as Muppets Retheme Accelerates

Disney signaled a swift pivot with an overnight swap to Muppets branding across guest maps, the app, signage plus the facade.

Overview

  • The Aerosmith version closed March 1 after 27 years, with crews removing the band's name from the marquee and the giant guitar within hours.
  • Construction walls now ring the entrance guitar, exterior posters are covered, and on-site signage references the Electric Mayhem takeover.
  • Disney’s updated Hollywood Studios guidemap and the My Disney Experience app identify the location as the “Future Home of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets.”
  • Disney says the high-speed launch and track remain as the ride gets a new Muppets storyline, soundtrack, queue, and facade for a summer 2026 reopening.
  • The courtyard opens around showtimes to maintain access to Disney Villains: Unfairly Ever After while retheming work continues.
