DHS Disney Confirms Muppets Take Over Rock 'n' Roller Coaster at Hollywood Studios

[Brer Panther]

Yeah. I guess.

So if it were the EXACT SAME CHARACTERS, the exact same writing, the exact same thing... except in CGI, the Muppets would be more popular?

No, I don't believe so. My opinion is most people just don't have the interest in Muppets any more. You could CGI Woody Woodpecker and it wouldn't have a huge following either.

Pretty sure everyone agrees this area needs to be a full fledged new muppet courtyard. This thread has just been a circle of "Coaster would be fine if they add Muppet Vision" loop since it was announced. Nothing new here.

If they put in a theatre, it should be a new show.

A new show written around Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem.....

No, it can be anything Muppet related. It just shouldn't be an unchanged show from 1991.

well yes, but if the entrance to the RNRR is based around Dr Teeth, they should probably make a bit more of a presence in the rest f the land... A new show where they are the house band wuld be pretty cool....and add a little continuity to the area....Though yes, all muppets...

Don't care about any of that.

So now we have some posters who think the area needs other Muppet attractions not based on the Electric Mayhem for RnRC to make sense, and others who insist the area needs ONLY attractions based on the Electric Mayhem for the ride to make sense...

I would instead venture a Muppet's Tonight show or something with Kermit presenting with short little skits + have Electric Mayhem play as the band.

Something that is more a throwback to the actual Muppets show but in a live and more updated format.

They actually did that, but I don't know how good the streaming numbers are.

it's a ride that didn't need a theme beyond "boardwalk roller coaster"

It also doesn't even really need to exist. The whole Paradise/Pixar Pier area is and always has been basically Six Flags with a Disney budget.

Muppet Vision is fine. What would be super cool, tho, is re-filming the film to make it brand new. The concept itself isn't dated.

Making everything electric mayhem is not a smart move as it restricts the possibilities of other creative outlets in the area and underutilizes other muppet characters. It can simply be themed to the muppets studios... Which includes a recording studio and a film studio.

Never said anything about 'needing to make sense'. All I said was they shouldn't revive an ancient attraction if they're going to put a theatre in.

While that’s probably the right move, for 90% of this community - they won’t be satisfied unless it’s MV3D.

Yet it is one of the most beautiful nighttime areas in any Disney park.

And thats why Disney never listens to fans.

You can CGI Yogi Bear, The Smurfs in 3 different ways, the Looney Tunes for 45 mins......It's not as workable compared to the oversea market..

For example Hanna-Barbera's Top Cat only had a 13 episode series but the characters are so popular in Mexico it actually has 2 movies due to it's popularity...

Is Scooter and the Penguins will be AA in the preshow for Rock 'n Roller Coaster Starring The Muppets next year?

After the changeover, yes. We aren't sure when that will be exactly.
