The image of Jim Henson as a Muppet referred to in the post (made sure to get a (blurry, apparently) photo last time we went

Here's a non-blurry image of "Muppet Jim" in the rafters overlooking his final creation

Interesting that this merch event is happening at Stage One. Could this be why the rumored walls never went up in March?

In a just world they'd use Stage One for Muppet-Vision Goodbye merch.

In a just world Stage One would have been open for years instead of just leaving it closed while making all of the Muppet merch WDI exclusive…

beyond the specific location, kind of interesting they haven't been selling any "Goodbye Muppet*Vision" merch

My guess is that this closure was relatively unexpected so there wasn’t time for merch teams to get things produced. It usually takes at least a year to get designs approved and merch produced. If it really was up in the air between Muppets and Launch Bay, I can’t imagine the merch teams had enough time to produce anything

I got to see Muppet-Vision for the final time on May 2. I also wanted to have dinner at Mama Melrose, but all reservations were gone.

In all honesty i'm glad they'll at least preserve the show in some form, even if it's not going to be the same. I'll also miss the beautiful fountain in front of the theater.

I do kind of wish they had started the boundaries of where Monsters Inc Land was. I mean, the Muppets themselves are monsters. Not the same monsters, by any means, but still "monsters" too. I'm still very sad that MV3D is going away, at least in it's current form.

I don't do thrill rides/roller coasters, so i'll also miss out on the Muppet RNR.

Only one month until MuppetVision 3D closes just for the night.... FOREVER?!

Here’s my contribution to documenting this attraction from not too long ago:

Dinoland and It's Tough to Be a Bug are/have left without so much as a generic pin for fans to buy.

I don't think Disney is interested in cashing in on the "something to remember it by" market, for some reason.

Which is insane, because they released that PizzaRizzo pin recently (seemingly a coincidence) and it was getting snatched up all over.

Why would you want to remember the pizza at PizzaRizzo?

It's more like a war memorial.

THAT'S why they are doing this. They discovered another fountain and immediately thought, "Whelp, that's got to go!" Creating the coaster was just an excuse to kill the fountain. Those sneaking water-hating gits!!

I know you’re joking but they’re actually keeping the fountain. Still a chance they just fill it with plants, though.

It's been done before!

I don’t think the pizza is that bad but the size is unfortunate.

I live in New Haven, CT. That rat pizza isn’t pizza.
