This seems the most believable thing, and honestly it's why I hate muppets going away as much as I do. Because I have 0 faith phase 2 happens.

I hope this tech has ability to get some higher speed though. The back part of this new Cars attraction needs a high speed finale.
The art shows a straight-away to the finish line.

Do you and Ariana Grande have the same sources?

We suggested this as a joke on our "What to do with the Muppets" podcast. Make it self referential about the failures of the Star cruiser.
More practical suggestions were removing the Mickey Shorts theater show and replacing that with a Muppets show, making them a DHS party exclusive series of characters, or changing Sci-Fi Dine In to Muppets Dine In.
Yeah, I saw that but that could just be a straight stretch and not a high speed lane. Hoping for a more thrilling finale.

ngl a Muppets Drive In that plays episodes of The Muppet Show would slap
Maybe muppet classic movie parodies play? That’d be fun. The muppets have potential for so much in Walt Disney World, so I hope whatever is poentially planned pulls through. I don’t get why they are taking so long to announce it, though. Mix of fear of backlash or dragging feet.

A straight away to the finish line (the rides finale) in my mind a no brainer, a la test track.
They could program it such that the winner is random, sometimes left lane, sometimes right lane.
I imagine they launch two carts at a time side by side, leaving space between launches and each pair battle it out through the course at a slower speed then at the final straight away, open it up, and go the fastest at the end for a thril.
In the beginning of the course I don’t imagine the cars going fast, going too fast through the twists and turns would be uncomfortable for the riders. I imagine up until the final straight away it will be no more intense than test track up until they open it up on the outdoor track there.
This will be an outdoor version of test track with a racing theme instead of a testing theme.

Love all these ideas! Especially muppets dine in. Plus they could announce the muppets are making their way across the street instead of leaving DHS

I am worried about this attraction operating reliability in WDW.
I do wonder if the Imagineers in California forget they are designing attractions for Florida.

No Muppets Dine In! Haha Let me see the original first. But yeah I can think of much better places to put the Muppets.

The timing of this plea is worrisome. Why now and not 7 years ago? What might she know that we don’t?

So by that point, DHS wouldn't have had an increase in attractions after...15 years? After all the money they spent, I somehow spend less time in this park then I did 20 years ago. I don't even know how that's possible.

If Muppet's Courtyard has to go I would like to see the show relocated elsewhere on property
If not the Mickey's short theater, than I'd even take The Magic Eye at Epcot (it's not like the current show there is worth keeping or any more relevant to EPCOT)

I think when someone like Ariana Grande expresses concerns about Disney retheming or removing popular attractions on a podcast, you know the company has developed a reputation outside of the core fan base.
