[@jjpanicked]

Muppets 3D on Disney+ would not have the same effect as the show in the theater because there are characters involved in the physical space that directly affect the plot of the show. The only way they do it on Disney+ that would be remotely acceptable is reshooting those scenes/changing the plot for it to make sense. The show's plot is directly tied to it being in a theater.

I like the Muppets for the Rock N Roller Coaster. I do not like the show going away, which is why I watched it three times back in September during my last trip. I hope they move it somewhere and preserve the show without just slapping it on Disney+ and calling it a day.

[@maui3551]

Muppets Theater is being replaced with a new Monsters Inc show

[@sconnellyjr]

Listen, there is one and only one requirement to make this okay. Recreate Muppet*Vision 3D somewhere else in the US. It doesn't need to be in a Disney Park but as Jim Henson's final project it needs to be preserved in a complete fashion not just the video or a VR experience.

[@McNugget7511]

I think Disney is emphasizing the "new music and artists" part of it so much because there aren't many, if any, Muppet songs that fit a physically intense 45 second rollercoaster where you're flung around the entire time. Guardians got away with songs like Everybody Wants to Rule the World and September because the ride is buttery smooth so it gives off the feeling like you're floating and gliding across the track. Rock and Rollercoaster is very much not buttery smooth and needs to lean a lot harder into the fast-paced song style like Conga to fit the ride. Imagine that starting launch pinning you to your seat, the bright flashing lights of the camera disorienting you before the loop, and the first instrument you hear is...a slow strummed banjo. Disney needs to scramble to make a song that will comparatively be at breakneck speeds to the rest of the Muppet's lineup of songs, and I don't think they fully know how to do that yet.

[@deannasakovich2465]

My feelings on this are mixed. I really don’t want them to remove Muppet Vision. I think the rest of it is fine, if they could just move Muppet vision down Sunset Blvd by Rockin Roller Coaster, and just have a mini Muppets area. That would be the most ideal situation. And then rethemeing the Muppets courtyard would be fine.

[@goobert5485]

I immediately went “nooooo!” Upon reading the title, we all knew this was coming, but its still unfortunate. Muppet Vision 3D is a piece of history- a dated, slightly obscure piece of history, but still important nonetheless. It’s Jim Henson’s last work, his last curtain call for the Muppets, it deserves to be seen as it was intended for generations to come, not just slapped on a paid subscription service. I will admit I am very excited they’re going with the Muppet Rock n’ Rollercoaster retheme. I love that ride, but as many times as Ive been on it, I never really cared for the preshow or the very basic “we gotta get to the rock concert” theme starring Aerosmith, they’re just not a band I really care about. So putting physical Muppet animatronics, Muppet songs, visuals, audios, jokes and references? Now THAT I am interested in seeing, even if Disney gets heavy-handed with modern influences, the Muppets *need* to come back into the spotlight

[@diegocalderon5190]

They gotta put Muppet Vision on the Sunset Showcase, I'm sure that's gonna cost nothing. And then just move the Kermit statues and the Miss Piggy fountain to the area where Rockin Rollercoaster is, change the sign at the archway and boom you got yourself a new Muppets Courtyard

[@kdusel1991]

I'm praying that the villains show is temporary and then once villains land opens they move that there and put muppet vision where the show is!

[@diegocalderon5190]

@kdusel1991 I don't even think that's gonna stay until villains land opens, I give it two or three years there and then when Monsters and Muppets open they close it and bring Muppet Vision. They can even do some improvements to the theater before the villains show open, then when Muppets vision moves there they just do some work on the pre-show

[@FruitBrute]

I think in the end this will be a positive change. The Muppets deserve a better home in the park, not a half closed area with restaurants people complain about. I would love to see Muppets 3D moved to the Lightning McQueen theater, it would make so much sense and be a perfect fit.

[@bigthrillsmike3950]

[@rayay9581]

My thoughts are that they will build the Monsters Inc. roller coaster first before tearing anything out of Muppets Courtyard because that’s outside of the area. Therefore Muppets will be playing for several years yet and they it will eventually be moved into where the villains show is going which will go away when the villains land opens making a new Muppets Courtyard, putting the Miss Piggy fountain back out in front of the Rocking Roller Coaster now themed to Electric Mayhem. Electric Mayhem will be preforming Rock and Roll Classic as they did in The Muppet’s Show keeping the aesthetics that Aerosmith music did. This all has to do with licensing and IP. Rocking Roller Coaster will happen first once the contract with Aerosmith ends. Meanwhile the ground will be broke for the new show building as long as they can get in to tear down the Muppets Store that needs to be removed.

You bring up an excellent point about people who love the Muppets, but hate roller coasters. It's unfair to those people because Muppet*Vision 3D was the only way for them to experience the Muppets. Plus, it was Jim Henson's last project he worked on before he died.

[@mroscargoldman]

This is with the hopes they do this. The villains show for MGM is probably a test run for a bigger one in the MK land (projected opening Summer 2030.) In the meantime work on replicating and improving Muppet Vision off-site. Once villains land opens, in 2031 they'll hype up the return of a completely refurbished Muppet Vision for the 40th anniversary to replace the villains show. They do a quick retheme to the building and make that entire area a brand new Muppet Courtyard which has so much potential. Disney has tried desperately multiple times to relaunch that IP and I think they've realized the parks are the best way to do that now. Not only that, but Muppet Vision was a notorious people eater, and there's a reason Lightning McQueen was even back there. It only makes sense.

[@karebear3152]

I PRAY TO GOD that the Villains show is a temporary placeholder and they're planning on moving Muppets to that theater and making that area the new Muppets miniliand...

I was initially happy about the Rock N Roller Coaster news, until I heard that "Music's biggest stars" part. I thought it would be a pretty good idea to have the Muppets and the Mayhem be the only musical presence in the ride since they're evergreen fictional characters that can't really have any allegations brought against them, two very pressing problems on the current version of RNRC. I just want concrete details at this point. When is it closing, how will it be preserved, and when will the new version of RNRC open?

[@HenshinHead]

Just gonna throw this out there: the show building for Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy is next to the entrance for Rockin' Roller Coaster, and it's roughly the same size as the Muppet theater. Also no one really likes the racing academy, so if you needed a spot to move MuppetVision 3D, I wouldn't be opposed to that stretch of Sunset Boulevard becoming Muppets Boulevard...

[@TheGoodWario]

[@kellyw1638]

This will never happen but take the movie on tour.

[@techguypaul]

I could see them adding an "alternative experience" for RRC similar to the one for the subs. Just put the small kids in a small room on the exit side of the ride where they sit and watch Muppetvision. You only need to keep a limited number of the 3D glasses on hand to fill the room. Though I guess the downside is the ride would finish well before the movie. They could also offer it as a separate entrance from the front and the wait time display would diminish as the movie plays so you know exactly how long to time with the ride line. Just thoughts.

[@unclewob99hard24]

3:20. I’ve heard an opinion saying there is a chance the MuppetVision 3D could find residence at the Imagination 3D at Journey to Imagination (which looks more sad by the day). I’m not sure I like this idea, however, the Muppets have had a minor presence at EPCOT for years.

Do an almost exact word for word muppet remake of the preshow.

[@surmillius]

Wouldn’t it mess up the canon aspect of monstropolis if they move laugh floor? It’s meant to be the monsters having a comedy club in the human world.

[@GrimGrinningGhost55]

I agree with everything he’s said. AS LONG as muppet vision returns to studios within 2-3 years while we wait for the villains show to leave, I will be fine with it, and once it’s back in its own *permanent* theater, where it was made to be experienced, then they can put it on Disney+ if they really want to.

[@LitheFider]

I hope they build a new theater over by the Rock and Roller coaster! They could incorporate a little Muppets Museum as the queue area. The new theater could be part of the Rock n Roller coaster as a preshow and be a new 3D show plus anamatronics based around the muppets preparing for the show, but then when you exit you can either choose just to leave, or go get in line for the coaster. ( and I'm assuming there could be some kind of single Rider line that skips the preshow). Alternatively they could just build a whole separate Muppets area nearby with a new show of some kind. I know people want to preserve the old show but I think it's looking kind of dated in terms of theme and the 3D creature himself, and trust me I love older rides. I think it would bring old fans and new fans if it was a whole new show. Maybe the new area could also incorporate Sesame Street or something. Yes I know Sesame Place exists but honestly it's a shadow of its former self (I used to go there as a kid). A recreation of Sesame Street that is also a play area would be really popular with kids.

The original muppets show was all about highlighting current (for the time) as well as iconic pop music stars, so I feel like muppets taking over the Rock ‘N Roller Coaster makes sense. It’s on brand. Just watch a few episodes (or seasons) of the original muppets show and it will make sense. That being said, au revoir Rock ‘N Roller Coaster avec Aerosmith… le encore. And yes, putting the film part of MuppetVision on Disney plus will be awful, because Jim Henson directed the entire experience. The animatronics, the visual effects in the environment, Sweetums walking through the room, the lobby and the preshow will all be lost. It’s upsetting.

D, I loved how you threw in the Peoplemover in there! I guess it would be ok to change RR to a Muppets coaster.

Move Laugh Floor to Monstropolis….it belongs there. It really does not belong in Tomorrowland!

Or also the mickeys short theatre 1. We don’t need it anymore because of runaway railway 2. Put the cute photo ops to the end of runway railway 3. It already looks like a Victorian theatre and looks actually like the muppet theatre.

[@AnalytiKroll]

Whatever opinions you have of the decision, you have to agree it's the wrong decision to still not add any capacity to the park.

[@azdramallama8497]

This fees like they’re reverting rock n roller coaster BACK to its original setting - having the muppets be the main focus of a ride that is supposed to get a famous band to a performance when SOMETHING GOES WRONG seems SO MUCH in their wheelhouse, I’m just thinking “why didn’t they do that the first time?” (I know why, this just feels so much like a perfect fit)

[@astinchandler8664]

I am absolutely heartbroken over losing muppetvision, but I do think making a muppet coaster will give younger generations a new and exciting connections to the muppets, in turn revitalizing the IP

[@Mr.Milquetoast]

Part of what makes Muppets 3D so special to some is the 'immersive' aspect of it. One can watch and love episodes of "The Munsters" all day every day, but one cannot actually visit their home. But there is a certain thrill to the idea that one can say, "Hey, kids! Wanna visit the Muppets' theater?" and actually be able to. It's like a childhood fantasy come to life. It's the same psycho-physical link that cements Cinderella's Castle in the hearts of many a Disney park goer. It's fantasy made reality, and the sort of 'brand loyalty' that engenders should not be underappreciated. It's something that Uncle Walt understood, but those who have come after him do not.

Am I the only one that noticed the odd placement of the button on Kermit on his shirt

[@mundanestuff]

Sad. It was one of the best shows in the parks

[@TheChibiGingi]

I knew it was coming, and yet... it still hurts.

[@SeanLamb-I-Am]

The Electric Mayhem on the coaster would be awesome! But as someone who gets motionsick easily, I won't be able to ride it, except by listening to the soundtrack of a ridethough video. That connects into my other recent thoughts that there aren't enough plans for new or enhanced slow/dark rides. I want to go on rides, I don't want to get sick.

[@kirabowie]

I hear you! I may not get motion sickness, but I don't like roller coasters. And since the Muppets are loved by EVERYONE, they need something for little kids to enjoy that's Muppet-centric. If the move Muppet-vison 3D over by the coaster, I think that would work. Hopefully, Disney is smart enough to do that.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@kirabowie but little kids don't understand the muppets. Yeah they're beloved by kids, but a lot of their more adult jokes won't be understood by little kids

[@kirabowie]

@@kdusel1991 That doesn't matter at all! I LOVED Muppet-vision 3D when I was a little kid! And Frozen which is for kids has a few adult jokes in it and it's beloved by all. Little kids may not get the adult jokes, but there's still plenty in there for them to enjoy. The adult humor is for the parents and other adults. Why take away something EVERYONE can enjoy in favor of something only a few would enjoy.? That makes no sense. Not everyone likes rollercoasters or other thrill rides, or can even ride them due to physical limitations, like height or being pregnant or having a disability that makes a thrill ride dangerous for them. With Muppet-vision 3D, those people can enjoy it too.

[@bjvincent8786]

The end of Muppet*Vision 3D is sad because it was originally meant to be part of an entire Muppet themed land. There is actual concept art for a Great Muppets Movie Ride and that fell through. The Great Muppet Movie Ride attraction would’ve been a spoof of The Great Movie Ride. But instead classic films would be reenacted, by the Muppets; but with the utter chaos of the Muppets struggling to keep everything together. In addition to eating places like A Great Gonzo’s Pizza Pandemonium Parlor, and the Hard Luck Cafe a play on the Hard Rock Cafe. Allegedly that feel through when Disney wanted to pay less money because Jim Henson was not part of it anymore because of his death and an associate of Henson's explained and that this really soured the Henson family. For me an entire land dedicated to the Muppet would have been awesome Disney's biggest mistake is not cashing in on the Muppets. Disney Co. had the opportunity to make some serious money off of doing muppet versions of stuff. It’s like they’re forgetting that the Muppets are a cornerstone of pop culture that have cross over appeal for every generation. I guarantee a child from this generation would enjoy a muppet thing as much as a any other.

[@PauloM6414]

Maybe it will be more like the Movin' Right Along Remix from the Muppets Movie by Alkaline Trio. More classic Muppets songs given a new twist by new artists.

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

And I don't think reskinning a coaster is a suitable replacement either, because that eliminates all of the younger Muppet fans as well as some of the older ones, or people with disabilities. The Muppets deserve a dark ride that's accessible for everyone.

[@kdusel1991]

They should keep rockin how it is!

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

​@kdusel1991 honestly, I think the updated Splash Mtn should have been a Kermit's Swamp Ride. It makes more sense thematically than trying to explain how a mountain ended up in a bayou and it would have been easier to update the animatronics. And they could have had Fozzie tangled up in a tree as an homage to Brer Bear.

[@kdusel1991]

​@@CinnamonGrrlErin1 I like Tiana's and think it's cute. But it should've found a way to incorporate the shadow man into the plot. It feels weirdly naked without a scary element. But I hope Disney finds a way to preserve muppet vision 3D somehow! It DOES NOT need to be shoved onto Disney+! I'd be okay with them getting rid of the disney junior show in animation courtyard! and reskinning rockin roller coaster is disheartening to me cuz I love the ride how it is!

[@CinnamonGrrlErin1]

​@@kdusel1991 I sent an email today to the Center for Puppetry Arts asking them to preserve MuppetVision. Maybe if other people do the same, we'll see results.

[@OctaviousNight]

so like a muppet retheming of Rock N Rollercoaster seems like a goofy and fun idea I have no problem with that but the whole Muppetvision closing down part is just the part that sours the whole thing for me, I hope your assumptions are correct

[@QuincyDisneyVegan]

Muppets 3d should be moved, and most Disney Vloggers on KZbin are literally in agreement about this, suggesting it should be moved to the area behind Rockin Rollercoaster. Rockin Rollercoaster is going to be s hard sell to parents with small kids, because the babies won't be able to go onto the rollercoaster with them, and so the Muppets are now going to be another thing families can't enjoy together which negates Walt's original vision for his parks.

[@kdusel1991]

Just take out Disney Junior! Yeah parents with littles will be sad, but to me Hollywood Studios is more of a park for older kids/teens! Disney Junior makes more sense in magic kingdom!

[@igamelotsbro5468]

(I know that I wrote too much but please read) I just got back from Disney world and I was literally having the same thoughts as you and I think this could be a great thing IF they do it right, I feel that the muppets courtyard right now is kind of dying and the only reason it is there is for muppet vision 3D, on the same note I feel that the Aerosmith theme of rock in roller coaster is also dying, and having just coming back from there and having marathoned rockin roller coaster 5 times in one day, i feel something needs to be done about the theme because while I waited in line I heard 4 different people have to explain to their kids who Aerosmith were. And this is coming from me and I only listen to 80’s rock and Aerosmith is like 1/3 of my playlist, of course I would rather keep Aerosmith but they would have to replace it sooner or later and if we still get to keep the ride itself and it’s being rethemed to muppets I don’t think that’s so bad.

[@igamelotsbro5468]

Also here’s my idea for the ride: So it could basically follow the same idea as the current rockin roller coaster where the electric mayhem is late for a concert so dr. Bunsen honeydew and beaker make a contraption to get you there on time, so you hop on in the car and the electric mayhem practice the songs for there concert on the way there I know it’s a very basic idea and obviously it needs more thought but obviously if you add some muppets mischief into it I think it could turn out to be a great ride
