And with a lore so deep, the attraction is rich with Easter eggs in the form of memorabilia, props and more that pay homage to former attractions (hello, Muppet*Vision 3D) and various television and film specials.
“It’s been an honor to figure out how to take the classic Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster attraction, which we want to honor and pay tribute to, and all the magic of the Muppets’ history in the park and put it together,” Dani Iglesias, creative director of The Muppets Studio, tells PARADE. “But also, do something new, because nobody really wants to walk through a museum.”

Kermit’s Banjo

Upon entering G-Force Records, you’ll pass a curated gallery case. Here, you’ll find a recreation of Kermit’s banjo from “The Rainbow Connection.” The original is sitting safely inside the Walt Disney Archives and was donated by The Muppets Studio.
PizzeRizzo

You know it, you love it. It’s affectionately called “Rat Pizza” and fans of the Muppets are still mourning the closure of Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ PizzeRizzo, the legendary quick service pizza joint inspired from the lovable Rizzo the Rat. Throughout the attraction, there’s several homages, including a branded pizza box in the pre-show and a “Now Hiring!” flier near the loading area. There’s also a PizzeRizzo apron in the queue and a towering neon sign during the roller coaster portion.
How about some backstage passes?

Fans of Aerosmith may be a little salty towards this refresh but don’t worry, there’s several homages to the original attraction, including script in the pre-show inspired by the very iconic lines from the Aerosmith version (“you know how we feel about our fans”). Also in the pre-show scene, you’ll find the “black Les Paul” from G-Force Records. And near the loading zone's queue for the front row, look for a small display case with fliers, including one referencing the line “make it a super stretch?”

Have you seen a lost bunny?

Muppet*Vision 3D was a beloved film-based attraction that marked Jim Henson’s final project before his passing. And the iconic attraction lives on with references throughout this new ride. Near the loading zone in the ride’s single rider queue, you might spot a missing persons’ flier for the “Lost Bunny,” a.k.a. Bean Bunny, an integral character in the much-missed attraction.
The Great Gonzo

One of the most famed props from Muppet*Vision 3D, the Great Gonzo’s cannon, played a major role in the attraction, famously blasting Swedish Chef. It’s now found a new home in the coaster’s queue, and you’ll spot it just before the loading zone in a section honoring the Great Gonzo himself.

The original, opening day name of the theme park was Disney-MGM Studios, and it’s quietly paid tribute within the attraction. Near the PhotoPass area at the end of the ride, you’ll spot a vintage spotlight engrained with MGM.
