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

[Pizza Moon]

I think it looks good. I honestly think the Muppets are a good fit for RnRC and I'm glad they'll still have a presence at DHS. I'm obviously sad about MV3D but I think there's an opportunity for Muppetizing this area further too.

It would be cool if they added props from the old Muppets Courtyard to RNRC’s courtyard.

Look at Fozzies Studebaker or the Electric Mayhem’s bus. That’s what this should look like. It doesn’t.

Heck, look at the old Muppets Courtyard, full of hand-painted, imperfect weirdness. That should be the look. Instead, this looks like something done at significant cost by a professional, which is about as far from looking “Muppet-y” as possible.

It’s lacking cool colors (literally the cool colors green-purple) why did they go with a red/yellow/grey palate. It needs some of those cool colors to make it pop and look muppetty.

RnRC logo colors are red and yellow. Muppet Mayhem uses similar colors.

Look at Fozzies studebaker. It has all colors of the rainbow, I’m not suggesting removing the reds or yellows, simply adding more.

Hopefully people realize they are jut painting the car backwards. They will likely be spraying a clear coat over all these flat colors that has pearl or metallic flake. In short it looks a little weird now but will tie together once the finish coat is applied.

Looking great!! It’s a nice slick looking paint job on the limo because it’s G-Force Records’ limo, which is now owned by Scooter’s uncle, yes?

Some crazed-lookin’ Muppet Mayhem Muppets need to be hangin’ out of it…!!!!!

Oh, Disney can definitely do things wrong but I tend to wait to actually see the final product before complaining about a project.

Oh and what flavor Kool-Aid do you drink in the morning??

Again with the “wait until the final product” comment. The announcement alone is enough to tarnish what Rockin Rollercoaster once was. The limo looks hideous. You can keep trying to polish the pig while your wait for the “final product”, but at the end of the day, rock band to puppets is a downgrade.

Youll always find at least one person who believes a closing attraction was the best on property .

Just curious if you're part of Aerosmith or you were a massive fan of the group?

I mean why this old version better?

 

[mattpeto]

Here you go @NelsonRD, this better?

I did find it to be the second best on property, and I too consider the Muppets to be large downgrade.
I get why they are doing it, and I hope it goes well - and it likely will, but losing Aerosmith to the Muppets?
Yeah, that's a tremendous downgrade for me and many others.

This is an insane take, but I'm also happy you think so. This world would be boring if everyone liked the same thing as much as the next person.

Still an insane take though.

 

[FigmentFan82]

Yeah I particularly find this to be a great re-theme, as a big fan of the Muppets. Fundamentally the experience with be nearly identical save. For some superficial things. This is nowhere near a Tiana level change. That altered the story of your journey. This will still be “get in the limo to get to the show!”

I just don’t know what better option exists to retheme this. You can’t really keep it Aerosmith forever because they only get less relevant with each passing day (do teens still listen to Love in an Elevator?)
There aren’t really any new major rock groups with a catalog well-known enough to anchor a ride. Nor is there a great fictional equivalent (no, Powerline is not better).
I think the best way to go is a randomized playlist of rock hits from all eras, which seems to basically be what we are getting only with a Muppet twist. I can’t be mad at this .

Could have been much worse, just look at Paris.
