Muppet Mobile Lab returning to Epcot this week

[ToTBellHop]

I am hard at work trying to figure out the secret message here.

Dino-Rama.

Dino-Rama.

Muppets in Dino-Rama? I can only imagine how they could make that work.

As intricate a a small picture can be, the true beauty of the painter's plans come to life in the bigger picture. Even when individual shades of blue, red, green, or even magenta can make smaller aspects of a painting seem bad, the entirety can, and is a masterpiece.

Well, you italicized the word GREEN. And you went out of your way to mention MAGENTA.

So, given what others have said here & trying to connect the dots.

Bye, bye DinoLand USA (DinoRama), hello Animal (the magenta colored Muppet) who WILL indeed spearhead a role/area in Animal Kingdom (Disney's green park).

Really?

 

[PUSH]

I talk to @PUSH everyday however.

Don't believe the lies, they canned me!

 

[TabulaRasa]

Really?

I meant the actual Muppets...not the Dinosaurs that happen to be from the Jim Henson's Muppet Workshop.

Dino-Rama is different than Dinoland...

What about Wes Palm or PIPA?

They were created, owned and operated by an outside vendor (Daniel Deutsch). MML is a Disney creation.

Yeah, I realized that too after I posted. For some reason I think of that roadside area as being Dinoland USA. I amended my post.

 

[Thanks phoenicians]

This is not meant to start a rumor, but a certain drummer happens to share a name with a muppetless park. . . Too bad none of the other Muppets are based on Animals. If only there were plans for a certain area of the park nearly no one cares for. . .

Speaking of plans for DAK i'd have to think they'd want to cram zootopia somewhere in there.

This is all supposition on my part but I always thought that it was both.

The voice actor and interactivity was controlled backstage, while the actual motion of the unit was controlled PUSH-like by someone in the crowd. And since that person doesn't have to be close enough to hear Guests talking and interact with them like PUSH's helper did, they just need to be close enough to see to move the thing around like a remote control car from a distance. Possibly with an earpiece so that the actor can instruct him to turn the unit around. (Or the actor might even be able to do minor movements like turning in place themselves)

I just don't see how they could safely have someone backstage maneuver the unit through the park using only security cameras along the route and the on-board cameras. If you're curious, I'd look around while the Lab is making its large moves through the park.

Also, I'm soooo happy it's back. I can't wait to see this in person in a couple weeks!

Conceivably they could do the security camera control room thing, although it would be maybe a little more workup than they might want to do for something that's only in the wild for a few weeks. For one thing, the machine only moves so quickly; for another, there are "handlers" around to keep the show going well and (not a minor detail) the guests from coming too close to the moving parts. That and sufficient time to practice steering safely are all someone would really need to run this from a control room.

We can only hope you can decipher the secret message. That you can make some kind of connection ... maybe even a rainbow connection.

The 2011 Winnie The Pooh movie underperformed, and Disney didn't pull Pooh and friends from the parks.

It should also be noted that Disney Junior is still running the "Muppet Moments" segments.

That Pooh movie had the poor misfortune of going up against a certain boy wizard if I recall correctly. Pretty easy way to ensure your movie gets a small turnout.

Which is a shame since that caused Disney to abandon 2-D animation.

Are there specific times this is out to watch? I didn't see anything listed in MDE so I wasn't sure if it had set times or you just have to be in the right place at the right time?

It isn't running to a published schedule unfortunately, so it is a case of frequently checking the area behind Spaceship Earth.

ehhh...not really....it more had to do with the Princess and the Frog and some other stuff even though it was a few years before...Ed Catmull wrote some interesting thoughts about this in his book.

Hmmm ... Zoot is blue, Floyd Pepper is magenta, Animal is red, and Dr. Teeth is green. If only you had also listed yellow, since that is Janice's color, one could of thought you were hinting at something with Dr. Teeth and Electric Mayhem.

Don't forget about Lips, the trumpet player!
