It hasn't had a sponsor since 2017 after the 10 year contract with Hanes ended ..Yeah! when the Rock and Roller coaster will close. And also The Sponsor of Rock and Roller coaster?

Meanwhile at DCA the Muppets are doing the preshow safety segment before the show starts.

I hate the outdoor queue for this ride. Any muppet themed props would be an improvement.

This is actually pretty tolerable new Muppets content. Even Vogel doesn't sound too bad in this one.
I'm still confused about how you gauge that 7DMT is just 2:00 minutes since your own standard is station-to-station. And doesn't the video show it's more than 3 minutes? At what point are you stopping the stop-watch?

:10 to 2:15.
I guess you are counting waiting for the train in front to unload as part of the attraction?

Ah.
Yes, I am counting that. A story-coaster stops to tell stories.
Would you have counted the time of Energy Adventure as only being when the audience vehicles were in motion? Or stop the stop watch every time TGMR stopped for a scene?

I don’t think that’s a fair comparison. You aren’t being told the story for that whole minute. Had there only been 1 train on the track. That entire scene would take 10 seconds at most.
Exactly. That show scene is there next to brake holding. It is like extending RnR time because you were parked at launch for longer due to delay ahead.
The designed ride time on Test Track is not longer because people are taking longer to check your seatbelts at the checkpoint.

Do we think they'll announce the closure for RnRc in advance or will it just suddenly close. It'd be nice to know when making summer plans how short our day at HS will be lol
I don't think it is closing for awhile.
I also would not put it past to be one of the things cut back.

So it’s been a while since this has been announced, and I have to admit…
I’m stoked for this ride to open. Am I upset we’re losing MuppetVision? Yes. I know they’re preserving the footage somehow and we can watch recordings of it on youtube anytime we want, but it’s a shame we’re losing the little details like the queue, showroom, etc.
BUT… this is a going to be a great thing for the Muppets IP in the long run. ever since Splash has gone to Tiana, despite its quality/reception, Tiana has been EVERYWHERE in Disney marketing and merch. I have a feeling this will have a similar effect, especially for younger generations. Now they’ll be raving about “I went on the Muppets ride!” to refer to RNRC. I also think the current RNRC layout is a perfect transition to a Muppets overlay- wouldn’t be surprised if they reuse a lot of the props and theming from MV for the queue/end of the ride. It’s not like it’ll be as obvious that another ride existed there before since RNRC had almost no fantastical theming.
Whatever happens, when this opens, expect to see a LOT more emphasis on the Muppets in WDW since this ride overlay will be the “next big thing” for a few years until Cars/Villains opens (in 2035 at this rate /s).

It'd be a shocker if they did. I'm sure they don't want a bunch of Steven Tyler groupies wailing and moaning at the load/unload stations.
I can't quite put my finger on it, but I have a very strong feeling about this.
