Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Closed Since 7:05 PM Thursday
Published October 16, 2026
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been showing as closed continuously since 7:05 PM ET on Thursday, October 15, according to SupaPark’s live ride-status tracking. As of 8:17 PM ET that same evening, the coaster had been down for 1 hour 12 minutes straight, and the status had not changed.
This is measured from SupaPark’s own live park-operations sensors, which snapshot ride status every five minutes. The closure sits inside the ride’s own observed operating window for the day, so it is not a scheduled end-of-night shutdown.
For context from SupaPark’s tracking: the longest single continuous outage logged for the ride in the trailing 30 days was 2 hours 5 minutes, on October 1. The current downtime is shorter than that, but already longer than a routine brief stop.

What it means for your trip
- If you hold a Lightning Lane Multi Pass return window for Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster tonight, do not walk to Sunset Boulevard and wait it out. Handle the selection in My Disney Experience and spend the window on a ride that is actually cycling.
- Tower of Terror is the natural substitute — it is steps away on the same street, and it is the only other headliner-tier attraction in that corner of the park. Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway and Slinky Dog Dash are the better pivots if your group is not up for the drop tower.
- Expect the knock-on crowd. When a Sunset Boulevard headliner goes dark in the evening, that crowd does not leave the park — it redistributes into Tower of Terror, Slinky Dog Dash, and the Toy Story Land queues, so posted waits there can climb for a stretch.
- A down coaster is also a quiet green light for families still sorting out who rides what. Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster requires guests to be 48 inches tall and does go upside down, so if you were on the fence about a kid who just cleared the bar, use the pause to talk it through honestly rather than deciding in line.
- When it is running, the single rider line is the underused lever here, especially for a group that does not care about sitting together.
- SupaPark’s wait-drop alerts flag the moment a ride’s posted line craters to walk-on, which is worth having on a night when crowds are shuffling between attractions faster than the posted times keep up.
