The magic is reaching new heights today at Walt Disney World as the resort is debuting seven major attractions sure to keep guests entertained all summer long.
Disney World is bringing something new to all four theme parks today, May 26, including the reimagining of some previously beloved attractions as well as some completely new offerings.
The biggest changes are coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios where Rock ‘n' Roller Coaster is making a return following a more than two-month closure for retheming. The ride, which previously starred Aerosmith, had its final day of operation on March 1. But now, the Muppets are taking over G-Force studios as they rush to get Animal and the Electric Mayhem band to their biggest Hollywood concert ever.

On the ride, guests will be jamming out to one of five selections from The Electric Mayhem's extensive catalog including “Song 2,” “Born to Be Wild” featuring Camilla the Chicken, “Love Rollercoaster” with Jennifer Hudson and Questlove, “Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop)” accompanied by Def Leppard and “Walking on Sunshine” with Kelly Clarkson.
The queue also features an adorable encounter with the world's first audio-animatronic Scooter, who attempts to convince the band to stop grooving and leave to make their concert on time.
Elsewhere in the park, Disney is also reopening Walt Disney Studios Courtyard, previously Animation Courtyard. The reimagined space takes inspiration from the real Walt Disney Studios lot in Burbank, Calif. Throughout the area, guests can find landscaping, studio-inspired architecture and Easter eggs from the company's beloved animated feature films, including Chinese Theater-style hand and footprints in the cement and statues of animated animals.

Guests will also find the larger-than-life Sorcerer Mickey's hat that previously graced the park. On top of the new Magic of Disney Animation attraction, the hat stands tall on top of another future attraction set to debut later this summer. Inside, guests can meet six of their favorite characters and try the new Animation Academy experience with Olaf Draws!
