The FORGOTTEN Remains of Disneyland’s Muppet*Vision 3D (WHAT’S LEFT)

[@joebove4]

As Jim’s final project, MuppetVision should be a permanent fixture. It was made with Disney World in mind, so I’m glad it’s still there and will make sure to go every time I’m there, without fail.

I agree, it’s the very last of his legacy!

[@DisneylandMusician]

I asked a cast member who works Philharmagic at DCA about Muppet*Vision recently, and he offered some great info. He's been working in that theater for over a decade and said that most of Muppet animatronics are still there in skeletal form. Some of the penguins are still under the stage and Statler and Waldorf are still in their box seats (albeit, in skeletal form). He also pointed out the holes in the carpet near the stage where the stanchions used to go to keep guests away from Sweetums. He seemed to really miss the show and it made my day getting to talk to him!

[@HallesmyQueen]

What was also so disappointing about Philharmagic replacing muppets, was that they gave it a completely new entrance facing the Hollywoodland entrance, so the theater gets so much more packed now. Every time my family took people to muppet vision they’d say “I didn’t even know this was over here!”, which just shows you they really needed that entrance sign. With the resurgence of the muppets fandom online lately I wish they’d just put it back. I just think they didn’t give it a fair chance competing with frozen, when in 2014 there was literally A NEW muppet movie. They could’ve done more

[@FM7Studios]

Xccemoran your right Disneyland has no Muppets attraction and Even though Muppet Vision 3-D is gone I think they should retheme the Paradise Gardens area with The Muppets The Little Mermaid attraction will stay because that is a great ride and I love it but the other attractions near it would close the Golden Zeppelins will be rethemed to Pigs in Space from The Muppet Show, Jumpin Jellyfish will be Themed to Hot airballoons themed to Kermit the Frog taken from The Great Muppet Caper, Goofy's Sky School will be Rethemed to The Great Gonzo's StuntMadness and instead of a Airplanes guests will ride on the Plunger car from the Muppet Movie and the attraction takes place in The Great Gonzo's StuntShow Madness and for his 3rd act he invited you the guests on his Plunger Car the beginning of the ride you see Gonzo in his cannon being launched in the sky and then your car jumps though a Fire hoop (Which is not a fire Hoop it's just a hoop painted orange but it glows in the Dark at Night), a circular Saw, and at the end you see Gonzo on his Motorcycle in a slingshow and at the end he crashing himself and the motorcycle on the Stunt show Building and you see his cutout and his Motorcycle on the Building which is a tribute Muppet Vision 3-D and then at the end you unload from the vehicle and exit safety.

Thank goodness MuppetVision 3D is still running at Disney's Hollywood Studios and that it just got a minor refurb. Before you enter the building on Grand Avenue, ask the castmember if you can peek into the ticket booth to your right, where you'll spot a risqué pinup poster of Miss Piggy.

So true I agree with u, I feel like Disney should do something with the muppet, cause I know there a big group of muppet fan I remember when DL did there first Christmas party in 2021 n they had the muppet Christmas show I would see lots of muppet fans n they would stay for every showing of the muppet Christmas show.

Makes me wonder if it’s really that possible to bring Muppet Vision back, I’ve been carefully looking at the comparison between the theater then and now and think if it would be expensive for Disney parks to restore back to its original form since there were added curtains and pillars that hid few of the muppet statues, and the side screens above the doors that used to show the holes blown up.

I got to see Muppetvision 3D way back in 2012 and I loved it, it definitely felt a bit dated in parts by then but it was still a good time, I wasn't really a Muppet fan at the time but it definitely sparked interest and now it's one of my favorite IPs.

[@FM7Studios]

It is slightly dated but it has a lot of charm! (:

[@Themeparkinator]

Besides the fact that there are Rotting Muppet eyes, there are also Muppet glasses (not the 3D glasses) on the exterior of the show building which were painted to match the buildings colors. They are located next to where the original entrance was.

[@Hegano]

The only animatronics that are still inside the building are a few penguins below the stage. The rest of them were pulled out and shipped to Florida to use as spares in case anything happens to the current ones in use.

[@10191927]

Controversial take here Muppet Vision 3D is also very, very dated by today’s standards. It’s a relic of a bygone era with older Disney and Jim Henson when he still had control over the muppets. Also the dated 3D gimmick of the 80’s. While the muppets are classic and I was always surprised at how many tourists ate up Muppet Vision 3D whenever I went(especially Japanese tourists loved it). However I wonder how much longer it’ll be around for, with it being sandwiched between Star Tours and Galaxy’s edge I had wondered if eventually Muppets would be gone in favor of expanding Star Wars. Considering the Muppets inconsistency over the last few decades struggling to be really relevant and Disney not doing too much with the brand, It’s kind of amazing Muppet Vision 3D has stood the test of time. Maybe it’ll be around forever, or maybe Disney will do something for Hollywood Studios in the future, who knows.
