DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

I guess Patrick Mahomes was probably too expensive.

Really? A football player is more qualified to do Kermit than a professional puppeteer?

And I keep hoping they get Peter Linz to stop playing as Walter and take over as Kermit since his Ernie sounds so much better.

I never cared for Walter or his human side characters so he'd be no loss to me

I believe they were making a joke about how his voice sounds like Kermit

Sorry if this has been answered already, but do we know if the entrance area is getting an update? The Aerosmith lettering would have to be removed but do we know if the inverted car is going to get repainted?

This is my hope for the inverted car at the entrance:

Honestly, at this point, I think even if Peter Linz had taken over as Kermit, people would still be complaining about Kermit "sounding wrong".

Peter would probably be able to hold the voice while doing the Kermit yell/frustrated voice unlike Matt, who noticeably loses the voice at several points in the like minute above

question, what are the odds they move a majority of the MUPPET3D animatronics into the ride? Plus a few new ones

I also kind of thought this and why they might holding up the last animatronics reveal - because it's the kiss of death to MV3D ever returning if they use them.

Honestly, I think they would probably just use new audio animatronics that are easier to maintain anyway.

Yes but could see them throw in the older AA's in certain areas your moving quick. Plus could always skin them to put on new AA's. ie I still feel a lot of props and stuff from Muppetvision could be reused. im more just grateful there actually using/putting AA's (more then one) in an attraction that's never had them

Summer 2026 will be an awesome year for the Muppets to open Rock 'n' roller coaster Starring the Muppets! I love the new poster and I hope to buy this poster.

Noticing on Bioreconstruct's new photos that both Pizza Rizzo signs are still intact as of this moment...I do wonder if there are planning to add the signs to the ride or Queue..Because I'm sure they will probably do a Food truck outside in the plaza.

Maybe I’m wrong here, but I always thought the styling of Gonzo’s stunt performance stage name was “Gonzo the Great” not “The Great Gonzo”?!

This poster seems to indicate i was wrong about that and yet…

It has been both over the years.

In the first episode of the original Muppet Show (Juliet Prowse) Kermit introduces Gonzo as “Gonzo The Great.” By episode nine (Charles Aznavour) he refers to himself as “the Great Gonzo.”

I admire the fact that he's been performed a half century by Dave Goelz.

Frank and Steve would be in the same group if Disney wasn’t Disney. Haha

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Ya know…. There’s a huge life lesson there. Who do I respect more?

Frank and Steve for calling out Disney when they were handling the muppets poorly

Or

Dave for being easy to work with and continuing for all these years?

Hmmm deep thoughts…….

But I love them all and the characters they create!
