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.

Dollywood has released new details about its much anticipated 2026 attraction. We now know it’s called “NightFlight Expedition” and it is a groundbreaking hybrid coaster and whitewater river ride. Riders will board vehicles capable of four thrilling experiences in a first-of-its-kind attraction. Guests will guests soar above the Great Smoky Mountains, plunge into whitewater rapids, float down drops and navigate to a “very special lake.” NightFlight Expedition is featured in an astounding indoor, weather-independent 160,000 square foot facility (that’s larger than four football fields!) in the Wildwood Grove area of the park.

Radio personality Bubba from 100.7 Star is the new record holder for most consecutive rides on Steel Curtain at Kennywood. Bubba rode 33 consecutive times over 5 hours which had him experience 297 inversions. Steel Curtain has 9 inversions across its course including the world’s tallest inversion, a 197 foot tall corkscrew. I remember riding Shockwave and its 7 inversions at Six Flags Great America several consecutive times years ago and I still felt like I was spinning in my bed that evening, so I can only imagine what Bubba experienced. Congrats to Bubba and to the park for a great promotional event.
