Disney Made Sure To Repurpose Waldorf and Statler Into the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster With the Muppets

Disney is definitely trying to make sure that the old Muppet Theater and MuppetVision 3D are carried over into the new reskin of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. In a newly revealed clip, the snarky duo of Waldorf and Statler is now part of the ride queue, making jokes and being just as cringe as they were in the old MuppetVision theater.  Good!

Take a look!

 

I’m sure there will be more tie-ins to the now-gone MuppetVision 3D attraction in this newly rethemed coaster ride.

Disney needs to do this to soften the blow to fans who were upset about the closing.

I can honestly say I did not expect to see Statler and Waldorf at the new Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets, but I am really happy they are there.

Before you go, here is another look at the pre-show for the new ride.

 

Guests will be able to ride the newly rethemed coaster when it opens on May 26, 2026.
