I just posted an 11 minute video I shot today of the Muppet Mobile Lab at Epcot. It contains most of a show in behind the Fountain of Nations (you can see a wandless Spaceship Earth in the background) and then follows the Muppet Mobile Lab over to the Imagination area where it rolls away.

You can download it here:

It's in MPEG-4... Quicktime is recommended.

Edit: The HD version is now available on that same page.

Enjoy! :)

Thanks for the high-def video of it.

now my mind is wondering how are they controlling that thing; I may have seen a hint how they monitor it.

However, this thing is sweet to see. I wish it woulda stayed at epcot instead of going to DLHG, because i would love to see this during my visit at xmas time.

I'm sorry for my ignorance, but how long will MML be at EPCOT. I'd love to see it in September, but will it still be around? :shrug:

thanks for the video ricky Love your show longtime listner.

very clever 'thing' the mml, but the interaction seemed a little flat, the 'guys in control' of it didnt really seem to know what to do or say, any one else think that, and shame the cms in white coats didnt blend in bit more in to the crowd to make it look like it was really free roaming.
looks great though dont want to put the thing down as its a brilliant idea, just needs to be acted abit better.
perhaps its in the wrong place and should maybe at a park with more kids and characters?

Wow, that was thoroughly underwhelming. The interaction was way, way, way too flat and I sure hope that this was just one bad show and that the rest are more interesting.

I def like the Muppet Mobile Lab and I know it's not long term, but wouldn't it make more sense for Disney to have it outside Muppet Vision 3D or at least in MGM?

More than a little flat, I think. I really like the Muppets but some of that was hard to watch. I think there needs to be more of a pre-planned story element to the presentation. Most of the street performances in WDW have a basic script which the performers can play around with as they interact with guests. The only exception to this I can think of is the talking trash can, "Push," but that works because a talking trash can is funny on its own, especially seeing kids have their heads messed with by him. Bunson doesn't look like he's been given much to work with--he's having to create comedy from scratch.
