00:08Hey, Disney Plus Insider, this is John Stamos, and here we are at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
00:12And I'm so excited because we're going to take a very special tour today of Rock and Roller Coaster starring
00:18the Muffets.
00:18Now, I need a real insider.
00:20Where is a real insider?
00:21I wish I could find a real...
00:22John Stamos!
00:23There she is.
00:23Good morning.
00:24It's good to see you.
00:25You're the real insider here, aren't you?
00:26Very kind.
00:27Tell us about what we're going to see today.
00:28Well, if y'all want to sneak with John and I, we are going to go on a tour of
00:32Rock and Roller Coaster starring the Muppets.
00:34Wait a minute.
00:34I have a question.
00:35Yeah.
00:36What was your first job here?
00:37My first job here was selling tickets at this very park.
00:41What booth?
00:42That booth.
00:42Hello, Danny.
00:43I'd like two tickets, please.
00:44Let's do it.
00:45I think that led us in.
00:50Disney's Hollywood Studios opened in 1989.
00:53Yep.
00:53Muppets have had an early presence in the park since the very beginning, so it felt fitting.
00:58That Rock and Roller Coaster was the new home.
01:00Rock and Roller Coaster starring the Muppets.
01:03And also John Stamos.
01:04It's a very fine print, but it's right under there.
01:06Did you take this down and repaint it?
01:08Because it's different.
01:09So this was hand-painted while still upside down.
01:13No kidding.
01:13By incredibly talented humans.
01:17Kermit!
01:17Hmm?
01:18Kermit, what are you doing here?
01:19John, hey, how are you doing?
01:21Hi there, Danny.
01:21How are you?
01:22Good morning, Kermit.
01:22I am just standing outside the Rock and Roller Coaster starring the Muppets.
01:26Oh, yeah.
01:26Yeah.
01:27Have you been inside yet?
01:28We haven't been inside.
01:29Danny's going to give us the insider tour.
01:31Yeah.
01:32Well, she's the person to do it.
01:33We just snuck on down.
01:34John hasn't seen any of this yet.
01:35Can you give us kind of the scoop of what?
01:37The storyline with the Imagineers has?
01:39Absolutely, absolutely.
01:40You know, the Imagineers, they have come up with a really fun story for this ride, John.
01:45What is it?
01:46Yeah, well, you are taking a tour of GeForce Records.
01:51GeForce Records.
01:51Yeah, yeah.
01:52And then you learn that the Electric Mayhem, they are late for their big concert, and all
01:57the Muppets are there stalling and searching for the band.
02:01Are we ever going to see them at the concert?
02:03Don't worry.
02:04We got away, but we got to get across town first.
02:06How are we going to get across town?
02:07Thanks to Muppet Labs, they offer a way to get the Electric Mayhem and everyone else
02:13over to the concert, and that is by using a limo.
02:18A limo.
02:19You mean a limo?
02:20No, no, no, no.
02:21No, no.
02:21This is a limo.
02:23Technical term.
02:23That's a lengthy, immediate motion object.
02:27Yes.
02:27And that's going to get everybody over to the concert.
02:30What about animal?
02:31I really just came.
02:32I mean, I love you, but I came to see animal, you know.
02:34Of course.
02:34Of course, I can see from your shirt there that you're definitely an animal fan, but
02:40we don't know where he is.
02:41All right.
02:41You want to go ride?
02:42Here we go.
02:42Here we go.
02:43Have fun.
02:44Okay.
02:44Bye, Kermit.
02:45Good to see you.
02:46Good to see you, too.
02:46Bye, Kermit.
02:47Have a good day.
02:47Bye, baby.
02:48Animal.
02:51No.
02:52So we are in G-Force Records.
02:55Unbelievable.
02:56This is Miss Piggy's dress from Miss Piggy's Hollywood, a TV special in the 80s.
03:00So we thought it was super fitting that in Hollywood studios, it's the gal that she wore
03:04in that special.
03:04I was alive in the 80s.
03:06You might not have to warn you.
03:07I was alive in the 80s.
03:08I don't know if you're around for this special, but I saw it when it was live on television.
03:13Look who's here.
03:14Oh, hey.
03:15Animal Floyd.
03:16Hey, what's up, John?
03:17How you doing, Danny?
03:18How you doing here?
03:19Oh, Animal, he wants to get to his drums, but he doesn't understand.
03:22It's just a display.
03:24Yeah, play, play.
03:25Animal wants to play drums.
03:27You get it, right, John?
03:29Well, I'd like to get in myself.
03:30How do we get in here?
03:31No, it's a display.
03:33You got glass cut there?
03:34Glass cutter.
03:35No, no.
03:35I'm a little...
03:36We need the glass.
03:36We need a glass cutter, please.
03:37We don't need a glass cutter.
03:38I don't think we should do that.
03:40How about...
03:41Sludge hammer.
03:41Sludge hammer.
03:42We need a sludge hammer, please.
03:43We need the glass for the display.
03:45Yeah, that's right.
03:46We need to play drums to understand.
03:48That's fair.
03:50Parachute?
03:52That shit's a weird one.
03:53What would we do with a parachute, Animal?
03:54Is it up and over?
03:55No, no.
03:56Animal, look.
03:56There's no parachute.
03:57I'm sorry.
03:58You can't get to the drums.
04:00Oh.
04:00Sorry, buddy.
04:01Ride, ride!
04:02Okay, guys.
04:02Ride, ride, ride, ride, ride!
04:03Hey, guys.
04:04Ride, ride, ride, ride.
04:05Ride, ride, ride, ride.
04:06See you for a ejaculator.
04:08We'll see you there.
04:08What about a key?
04:09We could just do the key.
04:10Let's keep going.
04:10We'll catch up with them.
04:11No key, then, huh?
04:12No.
04:12Well, there's drums there.
04:14Oh, okay.
04:14There's drums to the concert.
04:15So this is our alleyway, so we're almost on the ride yet.
04:18Not on the ride quite yet, obviously.
04:20But we brought some new Muppet life into this area.
04:23Squeakeasy?
04:23Squeakeasy.
04:24The rats have their own speakeasy now.
04:26That's maybe my favorite contribution to this project.
04:29That was your idea?
04:29Yeah, it was very important to me that we got a tiny bar.
04:33In our storyline, Gonzo has opened his own stunt school,
04:37and he is using this area illegally to store stuff from his stunt school.
04:41It's a great chance for us to tell the story of Gonzo and how wonderful and weird he is,
04:45but it also means we can put a lot of Easter eggs in here.
04:48And Banner from Muppet Vision 3D, all of these crates.
04:51So again, we're bringing all sorts of eras of Muppet history in.
04:55Tell me this is real, though.
04:56This is real.
04:57So that is the cannon from Muppet Vision 3D that the penguins fire at Swedish Chef.
05:01Right, right, right.
05:02But Gonzo also loves cannons, so it was a great place for us to display that.
05:05That's fantastic.
05:07Yeah.
05:07Now can we go on the ride?
05:08Now we can go on the ride.
05:09All right.
05:10Is this the limo?
05:11This is the limo.
05:12I usually get a limo with my sparkling water.
05:15Not today.
05:16This is the lengthy, immediate motion object.
05:19Hasn't started yet?
05:21Yeah.
05:22One.
05:23Oh, God.
05:24Ah!
05:27Woo!
05:29Ah!
05:29Oh, my God.
05:31Oh, my God.
05:36That was wild.
05:38We did it.
05:39I think we made it to the concert.
05:48Look at my hair.
05:49It didn't even move.
05:50It looks incredible.
05:51That was great.
05:52Here we are.
05:53We made it to the Electric Mayhem concert on time to see them perform.
05:57Of all the great things I've got to do in my life, being part of a ride is up there
06:01maybe
06:01right next to, I think it might be the top.
06:04Wow.
06:05Yeah.
06:06Thank you so much for being a part of it.
06:07Thank you so much.
06:07This is very, very cool.
06:08Congratulations.
06:09You did a great job.
06:10All the love that you put in this ride is very grateful from us fans.
06:13Thank you so much.
06:14It's been an honor of my life.
06:16You know, I think we stand on the shoulders of the people that came before us, and there's
06:21no better example of that than our tribute to Jim up there.
06:24It's really, really special.
06:25So, thank you.
06:26It's been a labor of love.
06:28We cannot wait for you all to come see it here at Disney's Hollywood Studios.
06:31Yep.
06:31And rock on with Disney Plus Insider.
