A show like this would work amazing in Grand Ave in the old Streets of America facades, the Muppets could heckle all the people waiting to get in to Galaxy’s Edge and do a Muppet-fied Star Wars show

Which would be awesome right there at the chokepoint with the hordes of fen looking to storm Batuu not quite fifty yards away. That's a surprisingly narrow space to begin with.

The gift shop is just a hodgepodge of stuff (I guess that's most/all stores now ...) with barely a wall/rack of Muppet stuff :(

Quoting myself but they apparently have a shirt and some plush. That's about it and it's all on one shelf in the store. Sad.

I'd love it if they brought back the Great Muppet Movie ride idea. It would finally give this section a 2nd attraction and it would be a great homage to my beloved Great Movie Ride. I miss you Wicked Witch, Bogart and even you weird Sigourney Weaver.

Just a bit of armchair imagineering here - for a while now, I've had this idea for a Muppets dark ride. It's sort of a cross between Peter Pan's Flight and Mr. Toad's Wild Ride, the plot being that you're part of a "Daredevil Academy" that Gonzo set up (behind Kermit's back, of course). In the queue, there's an animatronic Gonzo telling us that today, you'll be learning how to, I don't know, do a stunt involving a rocket or a jet pack or something that flies. You get in the ride vehicle and (of course) the stunt goes wrong and you're sent flying all over the Muppets Studio, with scenes like the Swedish Chef's kitchen, Muppet Labs, and maybe the ride could take you out of the studio and into other locations like a jungle (featuring different Muppet animals a la the Jungle Cruise) or outer space (specifically, the planet Koozbane). Eventually your vehicle finally slows down and as you head to the unload area you go by Kermit screaming at Gonzo for doing something so incredibly irresponsible and dangerous while Gonzo reassures Kermit that the NEXT class will go much better.

The whole thing would be jam-packed with references to Muppet productions, cameos, and gags. One gag I thought of, for example, is that at one point during the ride Rizzo appears with a camera and takes your picture. And then, after you unload, you go by Rizzo again, who offers to sell you the photo for a large price.

I'm still ironing out all the details, but what do you all think?
You could use disneyworld and starwars as some of the spots. Land in the haunted mansion may e an extinct ride like 20k then end up right between luke and vader on bespin. Tie all the disney properties, with some nods. And maybe even have some of tbe characters be like.. who are these guys (4th wall) if you could use random scenes ala star tours where you could have maybe 100 random scenes, WOW
