Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith<\/strong> will close on March 2, 2026, to become Rock \u2018n\u2019 Roller Coaster Starring the Muppets. The track layout and general storyline will remain the same, but the set design and theming will be centered around the Muppets and The Electric Mayhem. This overhaul is set to open in summer 2026, with no specific date revealed yet. Read more about the potential impact on Hollywood Studios during this closure.\u00a0<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Get alerts on closures, park changes, exclusive discounts, and free printables. Trusted by 100,000+ Disney fans & planners.\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n Two rides at Magic Kingdom have been closed since 2025<\/a>\u00a0and will remain closed through March.\u00a0Big Thunder Mountain Railroad<\/strong> has been closed since January 6, 2025, for an extensive refurbishment, which includes a new track, new ride vehicles, and a brand new Rainbow Caverns scene beside the initial lift hill. Again, no specific reopening date has been released, but Imagineers have said to expect this fan favorite to be open again by spring 2026.<\/p>\n Buzz Lightyear\u2019s Space Ranger Spin<\/strong> has also been closed since August 4, 2025, for much-needed changes. The previously fixed blasters have been replaced with handheld ones. These new blasters will also have sound effects and will vibrate once a target has been hit, improving the rider\u2019s ability to aim at and hit the targets.<\/p>\n The opening scene has also been reworked to better establish the ride\u2019s storyline for guests. Buzz Lightyear\u2019s Space Ranger Spin also does not have an exact reopening date, but guests can expect this upgraded version of the ride to be ready by spring 2026.<\/p>\n Typhoon Lagoon<\/strong> closed on February 15 for its annual refurbishment and will be back in operation on May 12. In the meantime, Blizzard Beach is open for guests who would like to visit one of the waterparks at Disney World. Read more about the water park operating schedule for the summer.<\/a><\/p>\n Rafiki\u2019s Planet Watch<\/strong> at Animal Kingdom \u2014 and all the other attractions that go along with it \u2014 closed on February 23 to make room for a new Bluey-themed experience<\/a>, set to open in summer 2026. Unfortunately, guests looking to ride the Wildlife Express Train on their upcoming trip in March will be out of luck, but there are still plenty of animals to see on Kilimanjaro Safaris.<\/p>\n Some of the resorts at Disney World<\/strong> will also continue to be under construction in March 2026. For instance, the Tidal Pool at Disney\u2019s Beach Club Resort will be under construction until early May. See the full list of Disney World hotel construction and closures here<\/a>.<\/p>\n Disneyland\u2019s ride closures<\/a> are much shorter than Disney World\u2019s, and many of them have set reopening dates. There are four new closures added to the list in March 2026, the first of which is Pirate\u2019s Lair on Tom Sawyer Island<\/strong>. This attraction is closing on March 2, 2026, for regular maintenance. It will open again on March 6.<\/p>\n Golden Zephyr<\/strong> will close on March 9. Again, this is only for routine refurbishment, with no big changes coming to the ride itself. Many of the other rides at Pixar Pier have had their scheduled maintenance, and Golden Zephyr is no exception. Guests can expect this ride to reopen on March 18.<\/p>\n Two Disneyland attractions will close on March 30<\/a>: the Disneyland Monorail<\/strong> and\u00a0Roger Rabbit\u2019s Car Toon Spin.<\/strong> Both currently have undetermined return dates. The Monorail is speculated to be closed for general maintenance of the aging attraction, but it is not known why Roger Rabbit is taking a break. Once we know, we will be sure to keep you updated!<\/p>\n As for the extended ride closures, the one that is at the forefront of everyone\u2019s mind is the classic\u00a0Jungle Cruise<\/strong>. The attraction once had a clear closing and reopening schedule<\/a>, but its original reopening date has come and gone, and no new date for its reopening has been announced. The Jungle Cruise closed on February 17.<\/p>\n Jumpin\u2019 Jellyfish<\/strong> closed on February 23 for general maintenance and is slated to reopen on March 6. Following closely behind, Oga\u2019s Cantina<\/strong>\u00a0will reopen on March 14. While it is not a ride, this restaurant has been closed since January 20<\/a>\u00a0and is, as of right now, an independent closure to the broader changes happening at Star Wars: Galaxy\u2019s Edge<\/a>.<\/p>\n Finally,\u00a0Grizzly River Run<\/strong> at Disney\u2019s California Adventure has been closed since January 5, with no reopening date quite yet. This water ride tends to have scheduled closures for maintenance during the winter, and this year is no different.<\/p>\n READ MORE \u2014 4 Ways Disney is Celebrating Black History Month at Disneyland and Walt Disney World<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n Don\u2019t miss the latest Disneyland and Disney World news from Mickey Visit.
