Statler and Waldorf, the beloved and curmudgeonly Muppets, have found a new home at Disney's Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets. This move marks a significant development for the iconic duo, who have been a staple of Disney's Hollywood Studios since the opening of MuppetVision 3D in 1991. Their presence at the ride's unload station adds a layer of humor and nostalgia for fans, as they continue to deliver their signature heckling jokes. The video showcasing their new location highlights two of their classic one-liners, including a clever reference to the ride's downhill section and a witty comment about the lack of bathroom breaks. This transition to a new setting is a testament to the enduring appeal of Statler and Waldorf's humor, which has transcended the confines of MuppetVision 3D and now enriches the experience at Rock 'n' Roller Coaster. The ride's opening for Annual Passholders on May 21, followed by DVC Member priority access and the public opening on May 26, 2026, promises to be a celebration of Disney's rich Muppet history. This move not only showcases the creativity and adaptability of Disney's entertainment offerings but also underscores the enduring popularity of Statler and Waldorf's comedic presence, ensuring their continued relevance in the ever-evolving world of theme park attractions.
