Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Adds Holiday Ride Photos
Published November 2, 2026
Live now: Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets wait & status
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets is now running with holiday-themed on-ride PhotoPass images at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, according to coverage published Monday, November 2, 2026. The reports describe seasonal theming applied to the ride photo itself; no change to the attraction, its queue, or its Lightning Lane was reported.
The coverage came from DISboards, WDWInfo, BlogMickey and WDWNT, all within a few hours on November 2.
More useful than the photo news: the ride is open and has been reliably open. As of Monday, November 2 at 5:20 PM ET, SupaPark’s live tracking showed Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster operating with a 35-minute posted wait. Over the last 30 days, it was open for 100.0% of SupaPark’s status checks during operating hours — so if you have seen “why is Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster closed” chatter, our tracking does not support it.
The posted number is also running high. SupaPark’s Real Wait model put the actual wait at about 18 minutes against that 35-minute posted figure on November 2, 2026.

What’s not confirmed

What our data shows
- SupaPark’s forecast model puts Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets’s typical predicted wait around 53 minutes across the day (checked 2026-11-02).
- Measured average wait over the last 7 tracked days: about 38 minutes.
What it means for your trip
- Ride it in the first hour. The 8 AM average of 18 minutes versus a 56-minute noon peak is a 38-minute swing — rope drop it or hit it right at park open and bank the time.
- Don’t trust the posted board here. With Real Wait at roughly 18 minutes against a 35-minute sign, a posted number in the 30s is often worth walking up to anyway.
- Book this Multi Pass selection early. It sold out on 13 of the last 17 tracked days at a median 2:34 PM, so an afternoon decision is usually too late. SupaPark can alert you when a Lightning Lane refills.
- Riding solo or splitting up? Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster has a single rider line — one of only a handful at Walt Disney World — which cuts the wait further if your group is fine being seated apart.
- Bringing kids? The 48-inch height minimum still applies, and this one is dark, loud, and goes upside down. Rider Switch is available if someone can’t ride.
