The Great Muppet Ride was to be a spoof of It's A Small World with Muppet characters. It was going to join the Muppet 3D movie as part of a new Muppet theme section of DHS. Jim Henson himself supervised the planning of the ride before he died. From my understanding, planning and design work was completed before Henson's death, but, because the sale of the Henson Co. to Disney fell apart (and because of Henson's sudden death), the ride and the rest of the plans for the Muppet "land" died as well.
Years later, Disney would complete the buyout of Henson Studios. My question is, now that Disney owns the Muppets and all the rights that came with that merger, why doesn't Disney dust off their COMPLETED Great Muppet Ride plans? I understand that the plans may have to be reworked a little to fit into a new show building that wasn't planned for the original attraction, etc., but this was one of Jim Henson's last projects that he personally touched; therefore, it has to be a success and is not so risky for Disney to invest in.
Unrelated, when will the first Disney-Marvel movies or Disney-Marvel anything start seeing the light of day?
