News MuppetVision 3-D's Future: Potential Disney Park Venues and Vision Pro Immersive Experience

[Miru]

Oh, I think Tomorrowland is next once they’re done with Frontier/Villains.
I think Buzz & MILF are not long for this world. Heck, Buzz is already being rethemed in Hong Kong & Tokyo.

If we get a Space retrack, updated Carousel, and replacements for Buzz, Laugh Floor, SGE, & Speedway I’ll be happy.

Hoping Stitch gets his own proper dark ride some day. Laugh Floor will not be as missed as MV3D though, lacking even the historic relevance of ESS, though I have a feeling the Imacticians (my name for the higher up in modern continental Imagineering) will treat Laugh Floor with kid gloves compared to ESS.

This Instagram post from the Jim Henson Company gives me the impression they're involved in preserving MuppetVision in some way:

Holding out hope that it might come back to DCA, the theater’s already made to hold Muppet Vision 3D.

I’m not gonna hold my breath for that until we know where Pandora and Coco are going.

It feels like a good place to put it. Can move PhilharMagic over to Disneyland, build a theater to replace the Fantasyland Theater if they really don't want to keep doing live shows.

I’m not gonna hold my breath for that until we know where Pandora and Coco are going.

To be fair, the theater is like, riiiiiiight before the cutoff of where I'd expect Pandora's entrance/exit to go if it's towards the front of the park like some speculate I'd assume Coco will be near Pixar Pier, but who knows.

Not to sound like a huge conspiracy nut, but Sesame posting this definitely feels intentional...

What are the odds of a "creative solution" being moving MuppetVision to a different theme park altogether. We know the Henson company is invested in keeping the show alive, who is to say that doesn't extend to Sesame Workshop? Could we see a deal made that allows Sesame Place to become the new home of MuppetVision 3D?

I know its extremely unlikely. Its way more likely that this film finds a new home is on Disney+ or even at the Sunset Showcase/Magic Eye...but is this possible?

I wrote an email to Bob Iger, and everyone else here should too.

When you have as many shares of DIS as Bob Iger, then you can make the attraction decisions.

Honestly this is the first time I’m hearing this idea but I LOVE it

This also means it is very likely the Indiana Jones stunt show is going to be axed at some point in the near future due to Indy in Animal Kingdom for whatever tenuous reason that may be. Not as sure about the princess attractions though, despite Magic Kingdom being a thing, given the princesses are far higher tier in Disney’s eyes than Indy/Muppets/etc.

I’m getting the feeling the only reason they’d axe any princess rides/shows is for Marvel, and even then…

Why? Other IPs are in multiple parks. Off the top of my head I can think of BATB (3), Little Mermaid (2), Nemo (2), Buzz LightYear (2) and soon Monsters, Inc (2). Why can't Indy be in two parks?

Disneyland still has the 3d theatre sitting empty by space mountain.

Muppet Labs could work in Tomorrowland as well as anything at this point haha.

Don't forget Frozen!

Where would muppetvision go that wouldn’t be a detriment? I feel like if it went in imagination, it’d bring in less people, because imagination is actual garbage currently, and not everything would fit. Sunset showcase would be a dead end, even if it was muppet themed, but I guess it still would be better. Mickey shorts is DEF too small, and idk if laugh floor space is big enough. But muppetvision in MK as a “classic” ride would be nice. It def has that sort of vibe like tiki room and country bears and cbj, as opposed to most stuff at dhs.

Indy hasn’t done well since the 2000s, so Disney probably doesn’t like him as much as say the princesses.

Main obstacle to Sunset, I'd imagine, is it would basically require gutting it to replace, which I wonder if Burbank would see the point in doing that or not. I don't think it will be a dead end for long once AC gets developed, it'll probably connect with what goes back there. But that is the most logical place by far if they are wanting to move it.

Stunt Spectacular is still undeniably a people eater. Its days are definitely numbered, but I do think AC is ahead of it and Star Tours in line

they are doing the villains show in there. Kidna shot themsleves in the foot. So it’s gotta wait a few years if it is. And idk if it could all fit inside there. Maybe main show, but idk about the queue and preshow space. But yeah it would be the ideal space.

I live right near Sesame Place. I have never been, but if they were to do this… I would buy a season pass. Doubt it, though.
