Disney’s Hollywood Studios is preparing to welcome the reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets this summer. As part of its reopening, Disney has confirmed that the attraction will be classified as a Tier One Lightning Lane ride, making it one of the park’s most in-demand experiences. Here’s what you need to know about this new update.
What Is a Tier One Lightning Lane Ride?
At Walt Disney World, Lightning Lane attractions are divided into tiers to help manage demand and provide guests with a variety of options. Tier One rides are typically the most popular and sought-after experiences in each park. Guests using the Disney Genie+ service can select one Tier One attraction per day, ensuring access to some of the park’s headline offerings.
With its new Muppets-themed storyline and immersive updates, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is set to become a must-ride attraction for visitors to Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
The New Muppets-Themed Experience
The reimagined Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster invites guests to join The Electric Mayhem, the iconic Muppets band, on their biggest Hollywood concert yet. However, there’s a twist—the band is missing, and it’s up to guests to help track them down. The adventure begins at G-Force Records, now under the management of The Muppets, where guests embark on a high-speed journey through the streets of Hollywood to reunite the band in time for their performance.
Key Features of the Attraction
- Immersive Pre-Show: Guests are treated to a behind-the-scenes look at G-Force Records, complete with Muppets humor and surprises.
- High-Speed Thrills: The coaster retains its signature fast-paced ride experience, enhanced with new visuals and music from The Electric Mayhem.
- Thematic Updates: The attraction’s queue and exterior have been redesigned to reflect The Muppets’ quirky and colorful style.
What This Means for Guests
As a Tier One Lightning Lane ride, Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets will likely see high demand, especially during its initial reopening period. Guests planning to visit Disney’s Hollywood Studios should consider using the Disney Genie+ service to secure a Lightning Lane reservation for this attraction. Early planning will be key to ensuring a smooth and enjoyable experience.
Conclusion
The addition of The Muppets to Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster brings a fresh and entertaining twist to this classic attraction. With its new storyline, updated visuals, and Tier One Lightning Lane status, the ride is poised to become a highlight of any visit to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Be sure to add it to your must-do list for your trips after it reopens later this year!
