Muppet Fact #1282

Disney has announced that Muppet*Vision 3D will close and be replaced with a new Monsters Inc. Land. The attraction, which opened in 1991, was the last project Jim Henson worked on before his passing.

The Muppets will still be present in the Disney parks with the re-theming of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.

Sorry if you're finding out via my PJS Destiel meme, but it's true:

Just saw this post on Bluesky, posting it here for the other Muppet fans because I haven't seen it while lurking in the main Muppet tags.

In 2016, this parody poster of Tron was added to the queuing area of Muppet*Vision 3D - with the tagline “we’re all just prawns in his game.”

obsessed with the duck that hangs out in the muppet fountain in hollywood studios so often that he was named gonzo

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! 😤

not sure how active the muppets fandom is on here but heres me holding rizzo like hes baby jesus

So that’s why more people were liking this. Bob Iger when I catch you

Call me sensitive, but getting rid of Muppet Courtyard just feels so….wrong. Especially since Muppet Vision 3D is one of Jim Henson’s last performances as Kermit.

Currently praying that Disney won't take Muppetvision 3D away from us !!!
