It sure as heck is a slap in the face. The original Journey into Imagination (which, unfortunately, I only saw on video) was amazing. Now the ride's a lame joke. The Imagineers should focus on fixing THAT, spend the money restoring and plussing a WDW original instead of putting irrelevant...

I'm equally confused by the worship those antique bits of felt and foam rubber still get from some people. The Muppets were a novelty act that hit it big in the 1970's, then faded quickly. If Eisner hadn't bought them, they'd be in the dustbin of history. Equally puzzling is the notion that...

And feh on you guys dissing on Aerosmith. "Walk This Way" will never die.

Superstar Limousine 2.0!

I just hope the Tower of Terror survives. Bless Ariana Grande for sticking up for it.

Oswald is a very dated property, yes. What I like about him is that he was lost, and then found, and is back in the house of Disney where he was born.

It's also very short. Like a lot of new coasters these days.

Sure, it's a dig. At the veneration some aim at things that are just...puppets.

BTW, this show also flopped. https://www.eonline.com/news/486135/lady-gaga-and-the-muppets-fail-to-bring-in-ratings-with-thanksgiving-special-on-abc#:~:text=Lady%20Gaga%20teamed%20up%20with%20the%20Muppets%20for,0.9%20rating%20in%20the%20all-important%20adults%2018-49%20demo.

Oh brother, blame Disney again for the latest puppet flop. :rolleyes: And yeah, Emmys are nice, but they don't necessarily generate revenue.

Respectfully, I think the Muppets only resonate with "old farts". Today's kids couldn't care less.

I skipped the Muppet theater EVERY visit. 😁

Welp, it should have been a total eviction. Once again, Iger and his "Imagineers" fail to read the room. Flop after flop after flop from the puppets, yet apparently the dorks at Disney feared the online retaliation in the event of the puppet theater closure (which said retaliation would NOT...

Yeah, it flopped, just like most of the other Muppet projects. Yeesh.

Yeah, there are so many Muppet fans that the second movie flopped, and all of the shows Disney gave the puppets flopped. That's the "weight" I have that you're talking about. (And spare us the old excuse "Disney didn't do them right!" Disney just pays the bills. It's the people behind the...

Better yet, Brian and his siblings could buy the Muppets back from Disney (those kids HAVE to be rolling in dough, right, since they sold their father's puppets TWICE?) and then THEY could manage the IP, since, according to some, it's mean ol' short-sighted Disney's fault that the puppets keep...

After all, Muppetvision was removed from Disneyland and nobody shed a tear.

I agree that that Disney needs more flat rides. Here's a ride named "Christopher Columbus" from Europa Park in Germany that would be amazing if themed to The Pirates of the Caribbean:

So there's this park in the Netherlands called "Efteling", and it's freaking amazing. The equal, IMO, of any Disney park except Tokyo's, yet it has its own brand of magic. It had an attraction called "Spook Slot", at which guests would enter a creepy mausoleum and enter a room where a huge stage...

I've been saying that for a long time. I think a "Roger Rabbit's Hollywood" area would rock. Of course, if it did happen, the delicate little flowers at Disney would probably have Jessica Rabbit wearing several pairs of overalls. Because her tight dress is somehow sexist. I'm getting SO sick of...
