Disney’s Hollywood Studios is adding another Muppets-themed update ahead of the May 26 opening of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. Walt Disney World has announced that FØØD by Swedish Chef will open in the attraction’s courtyard, replacing the former KRNR The Rock Station kiosk.
While smaller than the ride retheme itself, the new kiosk helps extend the Muppets theme beyond the attraction and adds another themed touch near the ride exit.
A Familiar Kiosk Gets a New Identity
FØØD by Swedish Chef will take over the existing snack stand located near the giant guitar and close to the Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster exit. Disney says the kiosk will feature a refreshed look and an updated menu of new snacks and drinks.
The full menu has not been released yet. Disney has said more details will arrive in an official Foodie Guide, so the current focus is on the concept rather than specific items.
By giving the location a Swedish Chef theme, Disney is connecting even the food stand to the larger Muppets courtyard.
Part of a Larger Courtyard Refresh
The kiosk is one part of a broader update happening around Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster. Recent changes in the area have included new signage and added Muppets-themed design elements, all helping shape the new identity of the courtyard.
The snack stand also gives non-riders and waiting guests a reason to spend time in the area, which supports the overall retheme in a practical way.
Conclusion
FØØD by Swedish Chef is a small but effective addition to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. By retheming a familiar kiosk in the Muppets courtyard, Disney is creating a more cohesive experience around Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets and giving the area another clear dose of character.
