Yes correct. This is cheaper. I'm not an idiot. I know how a business is run. The Muppets are not nearly in their heyday right now. (that I do say is a good deal of fault by Disney) They are not going to have a brand spanking new E-ticket ride built when they are at a decline.
Disney is also not in their heyday right now. Therein lies part of the problem.
Financially they are doing great. They have the most content they’ve ever had. They had a great year at the box office last year. Their Florida parks have proven that they can still weather the new Universal storm. They are consistently making new attractions I’ve very much enjoyed and the average public does as well. Their new stuff sells out in hours. When it comes down to it, they’re doing amazing and are FARRRR from the worst slump they’ve been in. If this is their “slump” period, I’m sure the company is giddy with how good it’s going
The Muppets was not exactly catered to adults only in the generation I came from. This is what I am referring to:
They could always bring it back.
I believe its Disney Village in Disneyland Paris (or atleast something Disneyland Paris)
The Muppets have not been prominent to little little kids in years?? The last muppet movie came out at a point where any kid who watched it would be atleast a teenager by now
No, I believe Richard Hunt was… The one that performed her in the second season and gave her… Her iconic voice also with the catchphrase of for sure
That is probably true but there are several songs that people have famously mis-understood. Probably the most famous example is Born In The USA.
I really don't see that as appealing to an adult or teen demographic. Seems Disney is so in in their own properties they forget sometimes people want rides that don't have a character mascoting it.
They are replacing an IP whos fans have high blood pressure and bad backs with an IP where its fans have high cholesterol and arthritis. My initial though was something like a Moana themed Hawaiian roller coaster ride but the target audience would have ran young. Too may crying kids because they couldn't ride.
They literally have to, Iger won't greenlight any original concepts.
Oh don't get me wrong, in 2025 I don't consider Aerosmith Rock and Roller Coaster to be edgy or current (even if I like the band). Even at that time Aerosmith was already becoming a bit of a legacy act (but did have some current hits).
