Muppet Mobile Labs AT EPCOT

[MythBuster]

Basically what happens is that is that WDI R & D gets together with Creative Development and they decide which new project or technology to develop (like Lucky) and then build a working model and then take out in the public and see how they respond

Basically, WDI is shopping for customers, if the parks like the product then WDI will build one for them and changing somethings according to their specifications. But the park has to foot the bill, which it all comes down to everything, it's based on money.

I am glad that someone knows something - I'd asked yesterday when I was taking wand and other pics, and the Imagination guy didn't know what I was talking about!

I was so excited to see the thread title, that I almost peed my pants......then I opened the thread and found out that like Lucky, I will most likely miss seeing this in person too. It totally blows. I love the Muppets! Maggie

So has anyone actually seen it performing around Epcot?

I have seen it perform shows at Epcot! Just not on stage. Its posible they are testing it bs for a week and on-stage for a week.

I've heard rumors that soft previews will begin as soon as tomorrow. There are no official times, as it will roam around to different locations during the day.

 

[Master Yoda]

Thanks. If I can get a rough idea where and when I will make a trip down next weekend

I am pretty sure that this is free roaming. It was never planned to be a stage show.

We'd love to get a picture of the Lab performing at Epcot for the first issue of our magazine. If anyone gets a good one, please submit it through our Web site... http://www.attractionsmagazine.com
Thanks.

Shame it isn't going to be staying!!!

Do you by chance remember what time it was?

As an update to my "Live From Epcot" post, it is now 10:52 AM on 8/21 and I just saw the MML not 10 minutes ago. It went from Imagination, through the old Heritage Hallway near Club Cool, through the plaza, and over to the area near the Future World East tip board where it put on a brief show, then exited the same way it came in. It played Muppet music and talked - was very funny. Had an effect where it shot confetti into the air as well as smoke effects.

I sure hope it stays for the next couple of weeks so I can see it.

Was there not a crowd around the MML??? I think if I saw it, I'd HAVE to check it out. These people don't look at that interested. I don't get it.

Thank you for the picture, I was starting to think this was harder to take a photo of then Nessy. As for why there is not a crowd around the lab.... I would say the same reason why there was never really a big crowd around them here at DCA. People just don't know what it is or who they are. While I was watching one of the shows in DCA, the first thing they did after the show ended they asked little kids how they liked the show. Most kids loved the show, but again had no idea what or who they were seeing. They then asked about other character they would like to see and Mickey or Pooh seemed to be the top two.

While I loved the show, I am also the right age for all of the muppets. Disney has really dropped the ball on bringing the Muppets back to life and that is where this project feel short. But it is an amazing feet and a great step above Lucky.
