The Swedish Chef is heading to Disney’s Hollywood Studios! Disney has announced that FØØD by Swedish Chef will open on May 26 in the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets courtyard, the same day the newly re-themed coaster makes its debut.
The spot appears to be taking over the former KRNR The Rock Station snack kiosk, so bork bork, the Chef has claimed his kitchen. Disney teased the menu with an image of what looks like a red churro dressed up with chocolate syrup and orange and yellow sprinkles… which suspiciously looks to be a nod to Animal, the Electric Mayhem’s wild drummer, who will also star in the newly reimagined coaster.
A full Foodie Guide is coming soon, so stay tuned for the complete menu rundown!
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets
Guests will tour the infamous G-Force Records as part of a very special VIP experience. You may have visited before, but the studio is under new management! Expect a colorful new look with plenty of familiar faces. In fact, it was none other than J.P. Grosse (real estate tycoon, owner of the Muppet Theatre, and Scooter’s uncle) who helped The Muppets secure this legendary recording studio.
No VIP tour of G-Force Records would be complete without catching the band in action. Deep in rehearsal, The Electric Mayhem are running through “Can You Picture That?” ahead of their headline set at a big Hollywood concert, and they are not easy to pull away from a jam session. Scooter and a crew of audio engineer penguins are doing their best to hustle the band along, but you know how musicians are.
When it’s finally time to make the trip across town, guests board the “Lengthy Immediate Motion Object” — L.I.M.O. for short, straight from the minds at Muppet Labs.
Once the L.I.M.O. hits zero to sixty, it’s showtime. Guests will rock out to one of five possible tracks, each performed by The Electric Mayhem:
- Song 2
- Born To Be Wild (featuring Camilla the Chicken)
- Love Rollercoaster (featuring Jennifer Hudson & Questlove)
- Rock! Rock! (Till You Drop) (featuring Def Leppard)
- Walking on Sunshine (featuring Kelly Clarkson)
Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets opens May 26, with Annual Passholder previews beginning May 21, and Disney Vacation Club Member priority access on May 24.
