#if you want context my blog tagline is a reference to a line from MuppetVision 3D in Disney World

as probably the only person on tumblr who know what's your blog tagline is in reference to, i feel like I should ask how you're holding up with the news about Muppet*Vision 3D?

Ha! Well, first of all I'm on Tumblr and I know what my tagline's a reference to, so jot that down!

But basically I'm bummed about it, obviously, but I think the amount I'm bummed depends on what we get over in the Rock 'n Roller Coaster area. On one hand, this is the company that threw literal park icon Figment into a wood chipper to sell the pieces in collectible pins so part of me fully expects them to just throw absolutely everything out, all those hilarious props and stuff from the pre-show... but there is a lot of random room in that store at the end of Rock 'n Roller coaster so it's entirely possible they'll keep some stuff to decorate the rafters in there. 

And, allegedly, we're getting the movie back in some form. Disney+ release wouldn't be as good as the real thing but it would be something at least so it doesn't just become lost media. Maybe they'll give us a sweet DVD release with 3D glasses and the pre-show and everything and, while this will very much probably not happen, a girl can dream.

On one hand it's like, it stinks we're losing the last project Jim Henson worked on and that there's no Muppet thing a little kid can go on anymore. My kids are obsessed with the party room in PizzaRizzo ("It's rat pizza" 🥹) so I'm sad we're losing that too. Plus I freaking LOVED that show, it was one of my all time favorite Jim-era Muppet projects so it's just sad, you know? Esp since they are replacing it with The Most Mid Pixar properly ever which just adds insult to injury.

But it's been on the chopping block forever and I'm frankly amazed it's lasted this long. We had a pretty good run. I actually was just down there a few weeks ago and I went on it one last time and got to see the whole pre-show for a change so I felt like I had my little goodbye.

And, bright side: there's a lot of room over in the new area for new nonsense. (They BETTER move the fountain!) At least the Muppets will still be in the park in some way. I would be much more sad about it if they were yeeted entirely. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.

So, you know, anon, sad about it but not surprised. Cautiously optimistic about what we might get to replace it. End of an era but not unexpected. So that's where I am.

Though I ironically have really bad history with Rock 'n Roller Coaster to the point where it is medically inadvisable for me to go on it anymore so the day the news dropped, all my IRL loved ones were texting me like, "This seems very targeted against you specifically. 😂" Disney turning the ride that could kill me into a Muppet ride to taunt me into going on it again is like basically taking a hit out on me, how dare they! 😤
