If the new Muppet movie is as big of a success as I think it will be, there could be the possibility of a redone Muppetvision in the parks. It just seems like a no-brainer to me.

Ah, I was once just an observer of this site taking in everything I could from fellow Disney nerds (happy to know I'm not alone)... but this post made me want to respond... and sadly it's not of too much substance other than, god I hope so. I love me so Muppet action. Cheers!

Having more Muppets in DHS would be lovely, just not sure where they would go with it? Would love to see character meet and greets, though the idea of Kermit not being a puppet is surprisingly not that attractive to me.

It was done when Muppetvision first opened. Kermit and Miss Piggy. I doubt they'll bring those costumes out again, but perhaps Living Character Initiative (Bring back Muppet Mobile Labs, or even the Electric Mayhem they announced at D23 2 years ago)
I'm still hoping for Great Muppet Movie ride too, but somehow I think that opportunity has already sailed.

I've always wondered if they could just pull out and replace the CGI character with something more updated. Anyone with kids who watch Sesame Street knows they can do a pretty good job at a CGI muppet these days (Abby's Flying Fairy School), and I can't think it should be too hard to pull out the old and insert the new. The script or film wouldnt even need to change, just have that one character updated and poof, great update to a great film.

Waldo isn't supposed to look real, I think thats the point.
The only changes I would want to see done to MuppetVision would be minor updates, like update the scene at the end where you see "outside" so you can tell it wasn't filmed in the 90's.

I would like to see them take the film and clean it up. Maybe update it to digital with the latest 3D technology. Make sure all of the "in room gags" are working, and maybe update some of them (the fireworks on the ceiling could probably be made pretty neat!). Other than that, leave it alone! And definitely DO NOT TOUCH THE INTRO IN THE WAITING ROOM! LOL!!! 
I think digital would work. I was wondering if they would add walter somehow. maybe in the preshow or as a soundbyte.

Weren't we supposed to get a new pre-show a year ago? Not sure what happened there...

You are correct.
This was the last great Muppet project Henson personally worked on and is better than everything that has been done since. If the new movie is a success (and it actually does look pretty good) like dxwwf3 said, expansion is the key. A solid Muppet D-ticket dark ride or something similar would very much fill that "family friendly" void that the park suffers from at the moment. Add that with something similar to Muppet labs and Im a happy guy. Oh yea, we cant forget about a sweetums meet and greet as well.
