Did you know firefighting used to be an Olympic event? The 1900 Olympic Games in Paris were organized as part of the 1900 World’s Fair and included firefighting. These were only the second modern Olympic Games and much more informal than the games are today with a mix of traditional and novelty events. If you’ve been to the LEGOLAND Florida park you know one of the most fun group activities is the Rescue Academy firefighting attraction, sometimes also referred to as Fire Brigade or Fire Academy at other parks. In this attraction you use pumping action to propel your firefighting vehicle, spray water on a target and then race back to the finish line. It can be quite a workout and get competitive, but it also mimics several aspects of the 125 year old Olympic event.

The great Muppet band, Electric Mayhem, will be taking to the stage at Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starting in 2026. Disney has released this information along with some concept art of the pre-show area and the building exterior. The pre-show looks amazing with what appears to be Scooter as a director and penguins as audio engineers. The ride descriptions seem quite similar to the current Aerosmith version, but with an exciting Muppet twist to everything.
