They don't need MY help.
But hey, if it makes you feel better, attack the messenger all you like.

Miceage has indicated that it's VERY unlikely the theater will be returned to the puppets. And why would TDA do such a thing? Gut it again, and reinstall all the old props and junk, and for what? So the theater will once again be mostly empty? Come on.

But if this hypothetical update comes to Hollywood Studios, they would put in the effort to bring it to the west coast version as well.

California's 3D theaters have been pretty de-emphasized as just preview theaters anyways, not just the Muppet one. With Disneyland being more a local crowd in contrast to World's tourists, 3D attractions just can't sustain themselves anymore over there. Tough to Be a Bug's been consistently getting the preview theater treatment in the last year between Ant-Man, Good Dinosaur and soon Zootopia. Their Magic Eye's home to that Star Wars clip show.

Very true - but I bet Philharmagic would be a huge hit out there. I hope Disneyland gets it someday.

You would have loved the proposed muppet takeover of disneyland in 1991!

Even if Anna and Elsa are kicking Aladdin out, I doubt they'll be leaving the Muppet Theater anytime soon.
And even if they do, they'll probably just let it sit empty.

Oh, you mean when they were going to paint the Matterhorn green and all that? Yeah, but that didn't happen, thanks be to all the gods.

It didn't happen because Jim Henson passed away...

And it was the happiest day of MagentaPanther's life.
Sadly. What could have become to that corner of DHS.
And what may still happen. Not the GMMR though.

I always felt that if Muppet Vision was removed, retheming the existing GMR would be an acceptable trade.

Actually, when I heard about it, I cried like a baby. It was a terrible shock.
Now, listen, you tool - everything I've said about the lackluster performance of the Muppet franchise for Disney has been borne out by a little thing called reality. What a mean little person you must be, accusing someone of celebrating a tragic premature death just because you love a bunch of puppet characters. Good god, get a grip. If this is the kind of influence the Muppets have had on you, you really need to stay away from them. They're not good for you (or for ABC's ratings and Disney merchandising - oopsy! Did it again!)

Acceptable to who? And why on earth would TDO do that?

Acceptable to me, as in my own personal opinion.

I have a hard time fully believing the argument that Muppet Vision or certain shows/attractions that still pull big crowds at DHS only do so because there's barely anything to do at the park. American Idol Experience which had a huge marquee, prominent place in the park could barely pull crowds to fill half a theatre during peak times. LMA has to beg people to come to their shows, I'm sure they pull good crowds but I doubt they're amazing. Just saying the last few times I've been to the studios Muppet Vision has had really strong crowds.
Thankfully that's not happening.

Obviously the Pizza Planet/Mama Melrose issue is more than likely a Muppets related project, but do the recently announced Meet & Greet closures in that corner of the park have anything to do with it? In terms of theme, anyway...
