Back at D23, Disney announced that an official Monsters, Inc. themed land would be coming to Hollywood Studios. Well, we officially got confirmation on where this new land will be going, but we also got some news we weren’t expecting AT ALL!

The new Monsters, Inc. land will be taking over the Muppets area of Disney’s Hollywood Studios, BUT this isn’t the end of The Muppets in Hollywood Studios. In fact, The Muppets are being moved elsewhere in Hollywood Studios.
Disney announced that The Muppets will be moving to Sunset Boulevard and taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! You read that right, The Muppets (!) will be the star of the show on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster and will be teaming up with some of “music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival.”

We are thinking no one probably had a Muppets retheme of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster on their 2024 bingo card, but here we are! This will be the first Disney ride to feature The Muppets and there are sure to be “laughter, screams and new tunes for this attraction for fans to enjoy throughout the adventure.” Additionally, Disney teased that there will be plenty of Muppets-themed merchandise on Sunset Boulevard.

Disney said that there is still plenty of time to watch Muppet*Vision 3D and take a limo ride with Aerosmith on Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster though. Disney hasn’t announced yet when construction will begin on the Monsters, Inc. land. We’ll be on the lookout for any and all updates leading up to the start of construction at Hollywood Studios so stay tuned with us here at DFB!

What in the world are they thinking with this?? I’m old and loved the muppets as a kid. But, if this is more than just changing the movie scene before the ride, it will be an absolutely horrible idea. My kids/nieces/nephews ranging in all ages couldn’t care less about the muppets. I really think it’s a dying brand. There is definitely a younger audience for them, like the 3d muppets show. But this? Who wants this ? Again as a fan I don’t. And my god I certainly don’t want to hear muppet stuff blasted in my ears during a thrill ride. I dont get this news at all.
If the plan was to get rid of RRC they probably should have put the Cars attractions there and left Rivers of America alone
Amazing! I often think the Muppets aren’t as popular and worry they might be axed at the parks. This confirms that Disney feels they are still worth throwing money at. I’m pleased with this, however, I haven’t been on RNR on my last 2 trips as I didn’t feel up to it because of a medical condition. Now I’m going to force myself to get on. I hope they make it a little less jerky whilst refurbing.
Its a shame for youngsters who aren’t tall enough to ride or people that have got to an age that they no longer go on coasters. I want everyone to enjoy the Muppets.
