The Muppet Vision Balloon on the Streets of America

[Figment82]

I noticed a strange sight at the Studios yesterday - it appears the Muppet Vision hot air balloon is getting repainted, right on the Streets of America. It's in the section that is not themed to a streetscape (near the Public Library).

I didn't see anything mentioned here on the boards (other than a filed permit) so I thought you all might enjoy this unique look:

Great find. Do you know if the logo on the other side, or is that just a primer?

Unfortunately I couldn't see around the other side, but it looks like there is still blue painting tape sectioning off the different colors. So there is likely more to come.

Very interesting, hopefully someone will have more information.

Random question here, when do they begin setting up for The Osbourne Lights?

They usually start setting up late August if I'm not mistaken...which I very well could be LOL.

I bet the MV3D building looks weird without it's balloon hoovering overtop. Does anyone know where to find a picture of the naked building?

I believe the work on the Osbourne lights begins in Aug.. I once heard it takes 3 months to complete the job.:xmas::sohappy:
