Yes! If there's ever been a perfect opportunity for a retheme, that I'd bet most people would be happy with. Especially since arrowsmith isn't in any way Disney, so there isn't that Disney attachment to the brand. Retheming to the electric Mayhem makes about as much sense as any retheme ever has. It makes so much sense, that there's almost zero chance they do it. Even though the Muppets Mayhem creator had the retheme in his pitch to do the show.
We'll see. There seems to be a lot of Muppets fan in the parks division. We're getting a Muppet themed booth at Food & Wine this year as well as Kermit & Piggy hosting something at the DHS Christmas party.
I quite like the idea of a larger presence of The Muppets in Hollywood Studios, but not given their own land to exist in, but actually exist within lands in their own attractions but themed to that specific area. They are pretty well known to reference pop culture, so to pop up in places like Rock n' Rollercoaster or Star Tours (and the now defunct Great Movie Ride) I think it's a way of freshening up an attraction without the great need to having to do any kind of major infrastructure to the original attraction.
It's still considered one of the best Christmas films ever made, the fact that it doesn't have any kind of presence in the parks is criminal.

Also, any kind of way of getting some kind of Muppet Christmas Carol show/attraction would be amazing!
It's a shame that the better Muppet themed area in Orlando is not in WDW..
Busch Gardens has a nice Sesame Street area as well. I wish Disney would treat The Muppets as well as SeaWorld treats Sesame Street.It's a shame that the better Muppet themed area in Orlando is not in WDW..
I haven't heard that.
Obviously super subjective. However outside of this thread, I have never heard of Electric Mayhem. I'm sure it has a lot of fans, but is it as recognized as Aerosmith? My wife also enjoyed Muppet Vision 3D, but really doesn't know or care about the Muppets at all.
I don't think the band name (EM) has that much recognition, but people would recognize Dr. Teeth or Janice on a screen. And obviously everybody knows Animal plays the drums, though they may not know why.
A fractured larynx isn't exactly reason to say, "they only made it through 3 shows". Sometimes **** happens, but **** happening to a 75 year old singer does make it concerning. I say this as a ticketholder for a now-postponed show who wants to see Aerosmith so he can cross them off his Concert Bucket List.
I was under the impression that it was a vocal injury and not a fight with Chuck Norris or a car crash. That's why I phrased it that way. Not a knock as I like the band. I just think that the long term prospects for Aerosmith carrying this ride are not good.
No worries. If it was an encounter with Chuck Norris, he'd roundhouse kick the band and they'd all be 35 years old again.
As someone who was at one of those 3 shows that just occurred. Have to say, enjoyed the concert immensely. Tyler can’t hit the notes he used to but still sounds decent enough for his age.
The issue will be once members fall off the mortal coil. Unlike ToT, we can’t claim they are ghosts. It’s very clearly a modern-day ride with a living band.No worries. If it was an encounter with Chuck Norris, he'd roundhouse kick the band and they'd all be 35 years old again.
Long-term, IMHO, is fine with the band carrying the ride. Their music fits it. I really believe that there are probably only a small handful of bands whose music could carry the ride, and they're all so old it would just be shuffling the chairs on the deck of the ship. Keep the youthful-looking Aerosmith with the classic songs, as there is no reason to change it.
Keith Richards and Willie Nelson, CONFIRMED!!!
