Probably not. Fraggles would be aware of the Muppets.

Okay gave me a good chuckle. Doubtful it would be usable but still pretty funny.

Since we're going to start getting more about this, I want to say for the record that I am not getting on a looped rollercoaster no matter what happens.
So in the off off off chance whoever decides the budget for this is visited by three spirits and starts throwing money at it and Disney finally manages to be funny again after at least a decade of a humor drought, I do not care because I am never getting on it.
And I normally just ignore it when they make something I just won't get on, but people upset about the loss of Muppet Vision were told to be grateful because this is happening. So I want people to remember how absurd that is when MV was a show and RnR is a looped rollercoaster.

Easy fix. Get a versatile voice actor to dub in "I am a ride machine, ready to reload" and it fits just fine.

Out of interest, is this because of motion sickness, the way it makes you feel, or the fear of gettng stuck upside down? Or something else?

Drew Smith has a good Disney News for the Muppets ride for this one.

I don't like the feeling you get in your stomach on hills. I used to be okay with minor coasters like Big Thunder, but I tried stretching my limit by going on Everest and that knocked all the bravery right out of me. Honestly, I feel a little nervous just watching people enter the line for something as intense as RnR.

The backward helix is what kills me on Everest. I think that is why so many people refuse to ride it again. Without that part, it's a pretty standard coaster.

I can understand the stomach-in-mouth feelings on hills, like a humpback bridge, the "tickle-tummy" feeling. It's an acquired taste! I think I don't particularly like it myself though I'm a big fan of airtime, I think it just depends on the actual shape and speed as to the sensation it actually gives you. I tend to get it during the backwards helix on Expedition Everset, high-acceleration launches, and also the backwards vertical loop on boomerangs as you come down from the top of the loop backwards. But it wouldn't stop me from riding a good coaster. Airtime parabolic hills, big drops, vertical drops etc, don't really give me that feeling and just enjoy the floaty weightlessness for what it is.
Rock 'n Roller Coaster in particular I don't think has any of those sorts of moments in the inversions. There's a small airtime hill towards the end, as you leapfrog over the launch track, and of course the launch itself, but the inversions themselves are constant high G and I don't think give you that rapid changing weight sensation that gives you the stomach-in-mouth feeling. But that's just the way I experience it. It's quite aggressive and rough so I can totally understand why people wouldn't like it on those terms!

No one in your family has heard of Kermit the frog? He’s one of the most recognizable characters ever - certainly more so than Clarabelle cow!

No one has heard of him.
What percentage of under 20 year olds have heard of Kermit the Frog these days?

No clue. According to AI
“Kermit the Frog is widely considered one of the most recognizable and iconic characters in popular culture. His distinctive green color, expressive features, and relatable personality have resonated with audiences of all ages for decades. He is a beloved figure from both Sesame Street and the Muppet Show, and his image is instantly recognizable worldwide”
Also on a list of 100 most recognized characters, Kermit was in the middle. With Mickey Mouse being #1 and Shrek being towards the end of the list.

I just realized. MuppetVision closing basically torpedoes any chance of them doing a Muppets dark ride like we've been clamoring for. Not that the chances of it were very high already.
Same goes for me.

Nonsense of the highest order!

A large percentage, since most of them grew up watching Sesame Street.
And Muppet Babies.

I don't think it actually does. IF Disney wanted to, the area near RNRC should be able to be developed in the future to accomodate it especially based on AC plans.
