UPDATING COMPLETED!
It's not exactly the same as it once was, but it's pretty close.

It still looks good. The reason I asked because I wasn’t sure if you were going to update the nighttime fireworks show as Disney Sky’s part of the Disney100 celebration.

The Muppets Present…
Great Moments in Aviation History

B-ticket show


The Muppets perform riotous recreations of iconic moments in flight

The ever-malleable Muppets have a new home at Disneyland Resort! Their live comic performances regularly transform staid old Runway One into a playground of ridiculousness, as the troupe attempts to reenact important scenes in aviation history.

The format is the same as The Muppets Present...Great Moments in American History, giving that fan-favorite show a new home since its untimely removal from Magic Kingdom. The show is easily implemented as it is extremely light on infrastructure - merely the side facade of Air Tower Sweets, which is located just off from the main runway route in Terminal Square. This runway corner is a makeshift arena with benches made from steamer trunks dotting the asphalt. Our open seating plan allows families to gather or to simply relax even when no show is occurring.

Howard H. Hummel

At showtime, a live actor barges down from the air tower above. This is Howard H. Hummel, head air traffic controller for Runway One. He acts flustered and ridiculous, quite unsure of why so many people have gathered together in his “neat and orderly airfield.”

While Hummel blubbers on, Kermit the Frog appears in the tower’s upstairs facades with great fanfare. Kermit presents himself as the “town flyer...er, crier.” He informs Hummel that the audience has gathered to enjoy a show put on by himself and his fellow Muppets...who now appear in other upstairs windows. Among them are Miss Piggy, Fozzie Bear, Sam Eagle, and Rowlf the Dog. (Live hidden puppeteers perform as the Muppets, while pre-recorded dialogue provides their voices.)

Against Hummel’s continual confusion and consternation, Kermit insists that the show must go on. Kermit introduces Gonzo the Great, the Muppets’ aviation specialist, who swings haphazardly onto the scene in a ramshackle homemade biplane strung up by wires from Air Tower Sweets. (Gonzo is the most complex character in the show, and is realized with animatronics instead of puppetry.) While continuing to swing about in midair, Gonzo leads the crowd in a silly singalong of an original introductory song, “Heads in the Clouds.” This song is very, very, very, very silly, as of course is everything the Muppets get their felty hands onto. It concludes with the balcony Muppets launching air streamers, and Gonzo crashing his airplane through an upstairs window in Cayley Gallery (a breakaway setpiece). Explosions burst from the tower.

Gonzo reappears in the shattered tower top, smoking and burnt to a crisp...this Gonzo is a live puppet. Gonzo proceeds to narrate one of several aviation-themed stories, while other Muppets reenact historic roles.
Whatever possible seriousness is swiftly scuttled...and Sam the Eagle is quick to complain.

Also, occasionally Statler and Waldorf pop out from the highest air traffic tower to heckle the performers.

Specific shows include:

  • Icarus & Daedalus (featuring Kermit and Miss Piggy, with guest star Camilla the Chicken)
  • The Wright Brothers (featuring Dr. Bunsen Honeydew and Beaker)
  • Charles Lindbergh’s Transatlantic Flight (featuring Fozzie Bear and Rowlf the Dog competing for the same starring role)
  • The Apollo 11 Moon Landing (featuring Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem, with a surprise cameo by Yoda)

These performances are silly, song-filled, full of costume changes and deeply terrible puns, and deceptively educational for younger audiences. Each show runs roughly 10 minutes, with 8 shows scheduled daily (variable). An analog clock in Terminal Square with an “Estimated time ‘til show” marquee ensures guests never fail to catch an oddball performance.
Nice.

Wonder if D-Hulk would make another Disney park like Epic Universe with a new society like S.E.A & S.K.Y like how I made O.C.E.A.N. for Realms of Discovery, and the hub like Discovery Bay?

Now that is a million dollar question.
Fancy that, I DO have an “Epic Disney” project nearing completion! I have over 100 pages of notes and ride-throughs awaiting a formal writeup, and several crude pencil sketches which are gonna stay as is. (I’d rather get this one out into the world quickly.)

Expect something official within a month.
