Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios is packed with blink-and-you'll-miss-it references to Muppet history across every section of the queue and ride. From Kermit's recreated banjo and Statler and Waldorf's original theater chairs to props and vehicles sourced directly from Muppet*Vision 3D and classic Muppet films, the reimagined G-Force Records building is a treasure trove for devoted fans.

Every Muppet Easter Egg Hiding Inside Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets

Rock 'n' Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets at Disney's Hollywood Studios is far more than a thrill ride — the reimagined G-Force Records building functions as a backstage museum of Muppets history, with dozens of Easter eggs hidden across every zone of the queue and the coaster itself. Walt Disney Imagineering collaborated closely with the Muppets team — and, according to the story, Yolanda the Rat — to curate the space with authentic props, original instruments, and nods to classic films and Muppet*Vision 3D.

The Gallery Case Room: Where the Collection Begins

Upon entering G-Force Records — now under the management of Muppet real estate tycoon J.P. Grosse — guests are immediately greeted by an in-progress gallery case said to be curated by Yolanda the Rat. The case holds several standout pieces of Muppets history.

Floyd and Janice's guitars, both originals from The Muppet Show, are on display as a tribute to The Electric Mayhem.

The Alley: Dozens of Nods Around Every Corner

Heading out with VIP passes into the alley — where the stretch L.I.M.O. awaits — guests encounter the most densely packed section of Easter eggs in the entire experience.

Gonzo's Stunt School – Hollywood occupies part of the alley, complete with "The Great Gonzo" banner from the pre-show and his stunt airplane — plus the cannon from Muppet*Vision 3D that the penguins used to aim at Swedish Chef.
Pizza boxes from PizzeRizzo, the Hollywood institution, are scattered nearby — along with the Mona Lisa from Mama Melrose.
The Squeakeasy across the alley shows it was established in 1936 — the same year Jim Henson was born. Fliers nearby announce that someone has lost Bean Bunny. Laundry strung up outside the fire escape features Fozzie's bowtie, a PizzeRizzo apron, and an Electric Mayhem tour shirt.
One of the biggest Easter eggs — literally — is a "blast off" billboard for Pop Off. In The Muppet Movie, Fozzie once hid his Studebaker at this location.
