Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets Will Be a Tier 1 Lightning Lane Attraction

Apparently, it doesn’t matter which band books studio time at G-Force Records. Whether it’s Aerosmith or Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, the crowds will still line up outside the door. So it’s not surprising that Disney is keeping Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets as a Tier 1 Lightning Lane Multi Pass attraction when it opens this summer at Hollywood Studios.

That means the Muppets are joining the following attractions in the top tier:

Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway
Millennium Falcon: Smugglers Run
Slinky Dog Dash

And here are the Tier 2 options:

Alien Swirling Saucers
Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage
For the First Time in Forever: A Frozen Sing-Along Celebration
Indiana Jones Epic Stunt Spectacular
The Little Mermaid – A Musical Adventure
Star Tours – The Adventures Continue
Toy Story Mania!
The Twilight Zone Tower of Terror

When pre-booking Lightning Lane Multi Pass selections, guests may choose one attraction from Tier 1 and two from Tier 2. Three Walt Disney World parks use this tiered system. Animal Kingdom, with fewer attractions, does not.

It makes sense. It’s still going to be a great coaster, no matter who’s at the wheel. Disney could’ve pushed the Muppets into the Single Pass category with Star Wars: Rise of the Resistance. Thankfully, they didn’t. Statler and Waldorf will still complain, but at least they won’t have to pay even more for the privilege.
