No..it's just Piggy & Kermit doing what they did in the Rob Lake Magic show...Be there for a moment, tell a joke, and leave to the pre-recorded audio given to them..

Will Scooter's uncle be at the end of the ride of Rock 'n' roller Coaster Starring the Muppets?

If I recall they will have a portrait of him in the lobby..But, I think that is the only appearance you'll see..They'll probably be putting up a sign to explain who he is mostly.
I just wish Sweetums could become a MG character, and not just the one in a blue moon meet like he was at MuppetVision 3D

It's a no brainer for me too -- you have costume's, people would love it.
I would happily wait in line to meet Sweetums. Plus have a few pre recorded lines like talking Mickey, and boom.

It surprises me while Sea World/Busch parks have full bodied sesame street characters from Vee productions. The same company that does their live tours why can't Disney reconnect with them since they used them in their early years in the 90's to make a new set of characters..

Busch Entertainment has a long history with the Sesame Street brand. I worked at Sesame Place in Langhorne, PA back in the mid 80s. Being owned by AB, full time employees received a coupon for two cases of any AB product in every bi-weekly paycheck.

Do you have some update of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets let?

If the coaster is still open...I would think they won't announce the closure until the off season...
Probably a closing date in the next few days if they plan on closing Aerosmith after the holidays

Most definitely will. Adding lots of Sesame St and Muppets merch. Goodbye any merch outside of the new theming.

Disney doesn’t own Sesame Street, so they’re probably not going to just sell their merchandise.
And how is merchandise being within theme a bad thing?

lol, sesame st is not owned by Disney, so no, there won’t be any of that. My GUESS is plenty of muppet merch themed to the attraction as well as reg muppet merch, and I would expect many music things like drum sticks etc to still be sold. It’s a great ride merch shop and I think they’ll stock it nicely

Of course, I said merch themed to the Muppets will be added in. I wasn't aware that Dis had no rights to sell anything tied to the SS brand. You think they will still be selling things tied to Aerosmith after they are gone?

Sesame street is owned by Childrens Televison/Sesame Workshop
Fraggles and any other creature related are under The Henson company
Your pretty much in luck if going to a Sea World / Busch park for the Sesame merch since they have the lands in their Parks.
