Here we go... my idea for a whole Muppet themed area of DHS. You may think it's a bit large in the end, but part of it is that only few ideas would actually end up in the park. So basically, I'm just spewing out ideas for Muppet attractions, restaurants, shows and shops. Some have already come and gone, but have been improved, and some have been a rumor for years. And some are completely original. But here it is:
-The Long Rumored Gonzo's Pizza Pandemonium: A replacement for Pizza Planet, (which we may actually see in the near future due to the opening of TSM) but themed to the Muppets. The story is that the restaurant is owned by best buddies Gonzo and Rizzo, along with Gonzo's chicken girlfriend Camilla and other chickens, Rizzo's family and friends (RATS), and the cooking assistance of none other then The Swedish Chef. The entire restaurant would be decorated with various Muppet props, and T.V. screens playing classic Muppet Show Episodes and Muppet Movies. Once you ordered your food, you would go sit at a designated table. Then, in a few minutes, your food would be delivered via train! And driving that train would be one of the rats (AA) or maybe even Rizzo. During the entire time you are there, you will hear Gonzo and Rizzo talking, rats scurrying around, chickens making noises, and of course, the Chef saying: "Vloopdee scoo de flutse gorf bork bork bork!" Various doors would fly open, and smoke would come out. It would turn out to be one of the most amazing restaurants is WDW.
-Muppet Vision 3D would be there, with no changes whatsoever. I'm pretty much just building this whole thing around it.
-The Muppet Courtyard: The "hub" of Muppet plaza. It would include the Muppet Fountain, a statue of Jim Henson and Kermit, and a recreation of the walk of fame... Muppet style. Music would be playing, classic songs such as: The Muppet Show Theme, Mahna Mahna, Moving Right Along, Can You Picture That, Bein' Green, Rainbow Connection, Hey a Movie, Happiness Hotel, Turn the world around, and more.
-The redo of the Muppet Vision gift shop: Would have less Disney Merchandise, but more Muppet Merchandise. Both sections would be restored (The Happiness Hotel section, and the Muppet Baby's Nursery section.) Muppet props would be scattered around the shop. Muppet music would also be playing.
-Rizzo's Pawn Shop: Please note, this is not that little stand they slapped down in front of Muppet Vision in DCA and called it a gift shop. The whole idea of this store is that Rizzo (along with the help of the other rats) turned the Muppet's backstage area into a shop, selling various things he found just lying around. This place would not sell the same stuff as the Muppet Vision Gift shop, it would sell recreations of Muppet props, such as Scooter's green and yellow Muppet Theater Jacket, a hat just like Fozzie's, and other awesome collectibles.
- Muppet Hall Of Fame: A building with several pictures showcasing Muppets and hilarious Muppet records, and such. Also features a computer database with info on almost all the Muppets, with pictures.
- The triumphant return of Muppet Mobile Labs, with all new material.
- A show, either with AA's or full bodied characters (Like Muppets on Location and Here Come the Muppets, only a lot better.)
- More walk around characters, to the addition of Kermit, Piggy, and Sweetums: Fozzie, Gonzo, Animal, Bean Bunny, Dr. Teeth, Floyd, Zoot, Dr. Teeth, Janice, Scooter, Rizzo, The Swedish Chef, Sam Eagle and Rowlf. Well.... at least a couple of those.
- Of Course... The Muppet Movie Ride: The Great Movie Ride, but with Muppets. Parodies would include: Frankenstein, Wizard of Oz, Star Wars, The Godfather, Peter Pan, Indiana Jones, and more. (If you have any ideas for any movies that would make a great addition to this ride, please share.) Hilarity and disaster would ensue almost each scene.
- Kermit's Swamp Adventure: A nice relaxing boat ride through a swamp. You would see Kermit's frog Family, including his nephew Robin the Frog, and characters from Kermit's Swamp Years. The finale of the the ride would be an AA Kermit singing Rainbow Connection, sitting on a log, playing his banjo.
- Beau's Taxi Ride: A Roger Rabbit Cartoon Spin type ride based on the scene from The Great Muppet Caper where Beau, the janitor from The Muppet Show, is the taxi driver. There would be sharp turns, tires screeching, close calls, beeping horns, speeds of over 50 mph, and in the end, crashing through the front wall of the Happiness Hotel. Did I mention Beau isn't the best driver?
-PPPPPIIIIIGGGGGSSSSS IIINNN SSSPPPAAACCCEEE Experience: A simulator ride that placed you right in the control room of the S.S. Swinetrek, along with Captain Link Hogthrob, Dr. Julius Strangepork and First Mate Piggy.
Pick one of these:
-Cooking With the Swedish Chef: An interactive experience along the lines of Laugh Floor and Turtle Talk. Chef would interact with the people, and be assisted by a "translator" who would make sense of the Chef's Mock Swedish.
-Muppet Labs Demonstration: My choice over the Swedish Chef thing. Dr. Bunsen Honeydew would be giving demonstrations of Muppet Lab's newest technologies, along with his assistant, Beaker. It would be the same as the Swedish Chef thing, with the pair interacting with the guests. But this would be different from the others, because it would have special effects included, such as smells, water spraying, and smoke.
-The Veterinarian's Hospital: Join Nurse Piggy (Miss Piggy), Nurse Janice (Janice), and the punacious Dr. Bob (Rowlf) as they operate on patients.
-Electric Mayhem-Live!: Another interactive show idea where the Electric Mayhem plays some of their classic songs, answer questions, and maybe even take requests!
So that's it. Actually, it's not. In a few hours, I probably think of something else. Feel free to add your ideas. In the end, there may be enough to turn Muppet Plaza into Muppet theme Park.
So, bring on the comments, criticism, questions, requests, additions, whatever.
