Let’s find out from you if you think the Muppets re-theme going to be worth all the commotion, or if it’s another questionable Disney decision.Just in case you missed it, Disney’s Hollywood Studios is getting another major re-theme, and this time, it’s the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster that’s taking center stage — meaning it’s time to say goodbye to Aerosmith and hello to the Muppets.

Yes, the Muppets are taking over the high-speed coaster, and as you might expect, Disney fans have some very strong opinions about it. So, let’s talk about what’s really going on here. Is the Muppets re-theme going to be worth all the commotion, or is it another questionable Disney decision? Here’s what some of our readers had to say.

Some Fans Think It’s a Total Disaster

For some Disney die-hards, the idea of swapping Aerosmith for the Muppets is not just disappointing—it’s downright tragic. For example, Bill was not shy about his feelings, saying, “This sucks!! Disneys destruction of the parks is underway – just see EPCOT.” That’s a bold take, but it echoes a growing sentiment among those who feel that Disney’s recent park changes have been less about preserving nostalgia and more about making big shifts that don’t always land well.

Ron took a different approach, joking (or maybe not?) about how long it might take for this project to actually happen: “2035, 40 if you’re lucky.” Given Disney’s track record with ride closures and lengthy refurbishments, this is not an entirely unfounded concern.

Meanwhile, some fans are worried that the Muppets aren’t the best choice for a ride of this scale. DFB reader Celine wrote, “I think this is a terrible idea. I like the muppets but they are very much outdated. Much of today’s younger people have no idea who they are.” This has been an ongoing debate—are the Muppets still relevant? While they hold a special place in many Disney fans’ hearts, there’s no denying that they don’t have the same mainstream appeal they once did.

Others Are Just Confused About the Match-Up

It’s not just about the Muppets themselves—it’s about how they fit with a high-speed, looping roller coaster. Kim put it bluntly: “Terrible decision. Guess they are trying to keep adults from coming who don’t have kids. I do love the Muppets, but to put with a legit high-speed roller coaster in the dark that even has inversions, and one that only adults and kids tall enough (who would not be familiar with the Muppets) can go on as it is?”

That’s a fair point. The Muppets have mostly been associated with family-friendly, all-ages attractions, like Muppet*Vision 3D. But a roller coaster that goes from 0 to 57 mph in less than three seconds? That’s a whole different energy. Some fans are struggling to see how the Muppets fit in with that thrill factor. Ashley shared similar skepticism: “While I do love Muppets 3D…THIS is what they land on for the re-theming of Rockin Roller Coaster? I hope it’s great, but I’m feeling super skeptical at the moment.” It’s safe to say that many Disney fans are in wait-and-see mode.

Some Fans Have High Hopes

Of course, not everyone is against the change. Some readers are cautiously optimistic and hoping that Disney really goes all out with this re-theme. Hank had this to say: “Hoping Disney raises the bar with this retheme and does not just swap things. They could do amazing things with this!!” That’s an important distinction. A simple re-skin with a few Muppet cutouts and some new music might not be enough. But if Disney really invests in making this a full-scale, immersive Muppets experience, it could be something special.

Andrew even threw out a fun suggestion: “I’d love a Sweetums meet and greet near the coaster.” Now THAT would be a fun addition. Imagine a full-on Muppets takeover of the area around the ride, complete with character interactions, themed snacks, and maybe even some live entertainment. If Disney is going to do this, they should go all in.

The Big Question: Is This the Right Move?

At the end of the day, the reactions to the Muppets re-theme are as mixed as they come. Some fans are excited, some are furious, and others are just confused about how it’s all going to work. Donna brought up another valid concern: “Awful news for people like me and children who can’t ride Rock n Roller Coaster. We won’t get to see the Muppets. It’s so sad.” This is another tricky aspect—if you’re a Muppets fan but not a roller coaster fan, you might end up feeling left out.

So, is the Muppets roller coaster going to be worth all the commotion? That’s still up for debate. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see what Disney cooks up for us.
