Muppet Vision 3D - New Projection Effect

[YodaMan]

Is the Miss Piggy fountain still missing? It was gone last week and the fountain was behind planters, presumably just for repairs or touching up.

Fireworks were working in full order as of today. The bubbles were pumping out at a good rate as well, however they only fell over about 1/3-1/2 of the theater.


They were working as of today.

Also worth noting the “burning rubber” fog effect was MIA again.

Seats are also still in rough shape. Otherwise the show is looking better than it has in at least 10 years or more.

What about the mis-shot arrows from the finale?

Very nice. I wanted to make a joke about it (just in fun), but honestly this has such a place in my heart from when I was younger that I'm just excited to see it get something new.

What about the mis-shot arrows from the finale?

They’re back!

Genuinely happy to see this maintained. It still makes me laugh after 3 decades. Now just close it for a few weeks to reupholster the seats and we are good!

Love this attraction, glad to hear it's still getting some love!

Yup! I made sure to look for them. Also all of the animatronics looked great, not sure if I’ve ever seen the Swedish chef move so much - his lighting has also improved.

When the show started, I remember thinking, "I don't think I've noticed Conductor Penguin and orchestra penguins quite so much before." Did they clean these up, light them better?

 

[pdude81]

I thought so also. They were blurrier, not as sharp or crisp.

I think they were still images too.

Thanks for the correction. It felt familiar but I can't remember the old static Waldos for some reason.

We can't wait to see this in a few weeks!

A while back I also recall a photo that the Muppet Banners on the sides of the Marquee were gone as they looked a bit faded..Were those replaced??

Yes, rumor is they are making it spin again.

Saw the show today. Last seen it in 2019.

Looking as great as ever. Those upgrades to the wall projections look very good. Love the fog effects on the main screen and walls.

Also kinda unrelated, but the courtyard fountain is still behind planters as of today (10/3). Taken from second floor of PizzaRizzo.

Very nice but please don’t call it projection mapping.

It was one of the settlement concessions we got in the strike!!

UPW!

Would "new and upgraded projectors for the Waldo wall effect" be more accurate?

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Very nice but please don’t call it projection mapping.

Do you know what are they using for the effect?

I think previously it was just a mirror ball? Are they doing a custom gobo on a prism on a moving fixture now?

Based on the videos it's almost certainly digital projection, but projection mapping implies the 3D projection surface is accounted for and taken advantage of, e.g. projections on the castle, which is not the case here.

It's so weird to me that they keep investing in this "attraction". I realize it's a people eater and it's fairly low cost to operate but It's really not all that popular with guests.
