Rumor Figment, well, to be replaced by Figment

[Fox&Hound]

Muppetvision itself even feels a little Epcot-y with the muppet labs segment. It would be a perfect fit in the magic eye. The one loss though would be that Epcot would not be able to support the muppet gift shops and restaurants around the attraction that we get in HS without messing with imagination which we probably don’t want them to do

Yes but that gift shop has not sold muppets stuff for a long time. Just another generic store. And the only muppet inclusion at Pizzarizzo is the name/sign. The whole area sadly screams temporary. I had such high hopes when they redid the bathrooms and restaurant but instead of doubling down on muppets they just made it even sadder.

agree all of those stores in that area are shuddered, its horrible. The muppet shop is gone, the christmas shop and the art of disney shop too. Its not like its a themepark or anything... this is what happens when bean counters run the show or what little show is left.

Ahem. “Sharp pencil people”. Actual bean counters were offended at being included with cutthroat accountants, sued, and won.

DSNY Newscast claims that before 2020 Imagination was going to be replaced with Inside Out but Pete Doctor vetoed it because he didn't want his characters replacing Figment. Then the plan was to make it a Muppet Labs dark ride and to put Muppet Vision 3D in the Magic Eye Theater but that also fell through. I am not sure how trustworthy the source is but he also seems to think they are wanting to do a overhaul with Figment now instead of replacing him.

I hope they still have ideas for a Muppet dark ride. That'd be amazing at DHS.

I have nothing to base it on but I have a feeling there will be a re do and the dreamfinder will come back….. perhaps a girl dreamfinder?

Disney's been pushing Figment hard the past couple years & people have been loving it. I think that's reason enough to think they might be doing something with him.

How about, new figment ride, Muppet Vision in Magic Eye, and then DHS can have another expansion area to put in a new land. Originally I was going to put Indy here, now I’m not sure for what.

The Muppets should stay at DHS. It's an iconic decades long running series (much like Star Wars & Toy Story). The Muppets are actors who are always trying to put on a show so it's a way to keep the park's original theme still somewhere within the park while being an IP.

Now, why haven't they talked with Henson studios to make a Figment related show for Disney Jr. Or something animated to still not only educate but, still make it fun for everyone to watch.

I enjoyed the Muppets during their stint at Liberty Square. I still wish they kept it

If they don't do the Jollywood nights this year I do hope they do the Holidays in Hollywood show as a standard Holiday offering since many never had a chance to see it.

Yes, Kermit & Miss Piggy were the hosts of the show...

That's fine but I don't want them moving their "home" to another park.

They should retheme RnRC to Muppets and move MuppetVision to where Lightning McQueen is. Then open a new Muppets restaurant. Expand Star Wars Land to Star Tours. There's the solution.

Make a new Dreamfinder and Figment ride in place of JII. Keep Muppets out of Epcot. Yes, I know about Regal Eagle. Unnecessary, but I'll allow it.

Yeah I'd be down for that. I would prefer a Muppet dark ride but I'd take what I could get lol

I'm okay with bits of Muppets in EPCOT like the restaurant or the mobile Muppet Labs, but they shouldn't "move" to EPCOT.

You do know they already established that The Regal Eagle is another Muppet themed restaurant In Epcot

 

[Brer Panther]

I agree with @SpectreJordan - I don't think the Muppets are as bad a fit in EPCOT as something like, say, Moana, but I still think they fit much better in Hollywood Studios.

Is that a request to revamp Mission Space to Pigs In SPACE.....

Ya know..... While we are muddying up all the park themes.....lol

Yeah, I had mentioned "the restaurant" & I think that's fine. I just don't want their "home", aka where their big attraction is, to move out of DHS.

What if the Muppets moved into the Play Wonders of Life pavilion?
Like a Muppets present the World of Discovery

It's better than the Play pavilion, but I'd really rather they double-down on Muppets in DHS. This would be another case of just IP-for-the-sake-of-IP.

OT to the ride, but I thought it would be appreciated here. So I bought my own house this summer and was finally able to get (most of) my Figment collection set up. I know there's the SSE 40th statue somewhere still in storage (when it's pulled out it'll go in the top corner where the new bucket is), and maybe a few other lil things (and definitely a bunch of plush) but I've already filled my cases. Family said I'm not allowed to buy anything else since I don't have space . I have a few prints too, but they're in my living room and need to be rearranged b/c I bought another this year (and may get another before the FARTS is over)
