Muppetvision 3D Effects?

[tissandtully]

Went to DHS yesterday and Muppetvision's theater effects were pretty much nonexistent. No bubbles, no vacuum wind effect, no water spray. Is this normal now? I hadn't been on it in a couple years. I do have to say, the projection looks great for still being film-based. Compared to other films *ahem* Soarin' *ahem. I was quite surprised.

It's really long past time for a new movie there. It's old and tired! The pre-show is still funny though! Heck, if you look at the end of the movie when Kermit rides in on the fire truck you can still see perople wearing those awful goofy hats and packs that were the fashion buzz of the early 90s!

Oh god NO. Muppet vision still holds up extremely well to any 3D film in the parks in my eyes. They just need to give all the 4D stuff a good refresh. Other than that it is still awesome and funny through out. Did you not see the no muppet hate banner on the home page?

It's been digital for a few years now.

Its been a few months, but I do remember bubbles working, but the vacuum effect wasn't working, and I kinda think the fireworks weren't all working. But I guess only having seen the show over the past 4 years, it's not old to me (yet) My favorite lines are all from Sam the American Eagle "Stopping in the middle of the row would be decidedly unpatriotic" and "We have a glorious 3-hr finale, its a salute to all nations but mostly America"

The bubbles, wind and fireworks were working last week. No water spray though. Might be going there again before we leave on Sunday so I can check if needed?

Great, that explains it then! I just remember people saying it hadn't been upgraded.

Yes, it's a great film, as well as Jim Henson's last film

Do you think these are things they turn off on low capacity days? The theater wasn't crowded at all.

Pretty much all the effects were working the other week. Even the burning rubber smoke effect.

It was not crowded in September when we went 7 months ago. The effects all seemed to be working then.

Is the Swedish Chef back behind a piece of wood?

Everything was working when I was there about 2 1/2 weeks ago.

Everything was working when we saw it late Dec. and early Jan. Actually, it looked the best I'd seen it in awhile.

Clearly I am in the minority here, but I am not a rabid fan.
I would love a whole new movie here - Muppets based prefered; but not necessary.
Compared to Philharmagic, all of the other 3D offerings blow chunks. (IMO) They all try too hard. And the pace of the Muppets movie is just so frenetic.

All the effects were working in early February.

The swedish chef is working great, I think I was the only one who turned around to watch him though. I think a lot of people miss that part and the cannon he brings out.

That's why it's so awesome.

I also find it funny that even tho Sweetums comes out to see if every one is ok. He's also on the screen at the same time behind a few people..

I think you just had a bad day -- all the effects were working on each trip I have had there in the past 6 months --
Sometimes, too, some areas of the theater have effects turned off, especially if you were sitting in the assessable seating area, but that shouldn't effect the general effects. Sounds to me like something was accidentally turned off, and I would have let the CM know...
