The History of Muppet*Vision 3D and the Cancelled Muppets Land | Expedition Hollywood Studios

It upsets me that the muppets doesn’t get enough representation in the parks and has had no new movie since 2014 except for the muppet babies reboot

When i last visited the disneyland park in Anaheim at the end of June they seemed to have removed muppet vision i looked on the park maps and did not see the attraction and even walked over to where it once was and could not find it! it was replaced by a frozen sing along type of show.

KERMIT SUICIDE

I thought this show was actually lit

Tarzan would have been Mad COMEDY! The Wizard Of Oz would have also of been great and not to mention Star Wars!

Auditions for MMC, do they still have stuff like that?

Why did the California Adventure show close down? I always looked forward to seeing it

I love MuppetVision 3D. I love the Muppets. I actually played Animal, Fozzie, and Janice in the live shows in Orlando when the merger was still going through.

Watched this for the first time in awhile the other day. It definitely holds up! As a huge Henson fan, I didn't realize he was so involved. That makes this attraction even more special!

I'm A Huge Muppets Fan. Thanks Expedition Theme Park Mate. X

omg that pizza restaurant would have been amazing!

Gonzo-"hey, you dropped your pot."
15 year old me- internally giggles

Jim Henson's statue was a monument to his work. It stood outside the theater. If Disney removes this. Then I feel they would be killing Jim and the Muppets. Muppets weren't a joke they were legends. The first SNL in my eyes. As my parents showed me I would love to show my kids Muppetvision and Muppet shows....

Muppet vision 3D was a ride I didn’t really care for until I got older and I started to get it now I love that ride

I used to be so scared of this

Excellent video..When we finally managed to make our pilgrimage from the UK to Orlando last December, Muppets Vision was the very top of my list. Been dying to see it since 1990. It did not disappoint. I loved the surrounding area with Russia pizzeria (reference to Muppets Take Manhattan?) the Piggy Liberty fountain, and the fabulous shop where I bought my very own Kermit. I was so happy 😀😀😀 Also loved the "Great Moments in History" Muppets show in Magic Kingdom. It's lovely that you used tribute clips from The Muppets Celebrate Jim Henson. That little speech from Robin always chokes me up. 😢😂

Muppets were my complete childhood. I collected EVERY SINGLE season of the muppet show ever created, and watched all of them all the time. I also adored all the Movies and watched them ALL THE TIME. I drew the muppets. I knew all their names, and knew a bunch of useless facts about them. I talked about them all the time and made my own muppets. I even had a TON of theories about how Constantine, the villain from muppets most wanted, turned evil.
I knew everything about him Henson, and everything about how the muppets and other shows were created.
I was kind of an outcast as a kid, I didn’t like anything any normal kid would. I didn’t even like cake for a period of my life.
The muppets, the fraggles, and Sesame Street were kind of an escape from the real world.
I hope they continue to entertain many more generations to come.
And to all the muppets and Jim himself,
Thank you.
Thank you for all the happiness you gave me throughout my childhood, and continue to give me now.

Love it and all things Muppets I did hear that Pizza Rizzo is closing. The Muppets store when I was there earlier this year barely had any Muppets stuff. It was a generic Disney store. Too bad they closed the attraction in California. DISNEY PLEASE KEEP THIS OPEN!

I LOVE MUPPET VISION 3D! The show is hilarious and the combination of effects is awesome. Even the preshow is great fun! So sad we didn’t get a Muppet ride, It could have been amazing!

great video. thank you..☺

I've Might Go And See Muppet Vision At Disney's Hollywood Studios In Walt Disney World Resort In Florida During My The City Of Orlando And Kennedy Space Center Visitor Complex Museum And Universal Orlando Resort And Walt Disney World Resort In Florida Holiday Megatrip On My 30th Birthday Celebrations Next Year In March 2023. Wish Me Luck. Thanks Expedition Theme Park Mate. PS I'm A Huge Fan Of The Muppets And Along With Sesame Street. X

Who the hell calls it MuppetVision 4D? Nobody

Jim Henson was basically my generation's Walt Disney. I grew up on The Muppet Show and even saw the first Muppet Movie back when it came out in 1979 (I even still have my soundtrack records of it and The Great Muppet Caper). I was completely gutted when Jim died (even though I was in high school at the time, the Muppets were never "uncool" to me). The preshow for MuppetVision is one of the most brilliant and hilarious I've ever seen. The first time I saw Rizzo come out dressed at Mickey I just completely lost it laughing.

Nobody calls it Muppetvision 4D

Theme parks went through a period of infatuation with 3D theatres where the audience were sprayed with water, mist etc. while sitting through some crappy movie - Terminator 4D, Shrek 4D, Bugs Life 4D, Muppets 3D. They all sucked. Bad enough to endure them once but these attractions were there for years, and some still exist to this day.

If this ever gets removed i won’t get over it.....i love it so much like to death

OMG that Muppets Movie ride would’ve been SO GOOD

Every second that Waldo is on screen, essentially hijacking the show away from the Muppets is a crime. Only Michael Eisner could have green lighted such an abomination. Waldo's name, voice, and style just reek of the studio's need to put the "Disney" jackboot (I'm sorry. I meant to say imprint.) on an otherwise perfectly directed Muppet adventure that should have been loaded with trademark puns, sight gags, and the kind of slapstick wackiness that defined the Muppet Show for so many years.

With the removal of the Great Movie Ride I think adding in the muppet version of the ride where star tours currently is would be a grand idea!

I adore this show. Just as fun as it was when I first saw it 22 years ago. Be such a shame when Disney decide its time is up x

More Muppets in the Parks.

I love the muppets I would have loved a muppet land and muppet ride

I always wondered why animal wasn’t in the show at all! He’s my favorite besides Fozzy and Rowlf.

If that Frozen movie wouldn’t be much more popular, the Muppet Vision 3D would still have been there in California Adventure.

If Muppet Vision 3D closes, I am boycotting Disney.

Watching this at the start of 2021, in the midst of the ongoing pandemic, because I can't get enough of these videos. I really want to see the follow-up video featuring the clips of the animatronic Kermit.

Disney has never understood the magic of the Muppets. The show reboot is a perfect example. I fear they will remove this attraction in the next few years for some bland expansion of the already bland star wars land. I love this attraction even though it is showing it's age.

I got to be Kermit for a few weeks at DHS and man, that costume was badly designed. I had to be extremely careful where I placed my hands when posing for photos as Kermit's fingers were so long, a simple shoulder placement would look like I was feeling up a female guest. Miss Piggy was much worse! Piggy required a person outside to help the performer get in and out. As Kermit, I always emphasized that getting the other performer out ( into the AC) was priority as the Piggy costume was much warmer then Kermit. Even a still, it was an honor to "be the frog". :)

That one line from the show where Kermit is talking about how they invited all these famous scientist from around the world, but unfortunately none of them showed up always makes me chuckle

Happy 50th anniversary to Muppet Vision 3D :)

Richard Hunt kind of sounds like Scooter. I have a PizzeRizzo shirt! I've never been there though.

I went to Hollywood Studios a while ago and saw the outside portion of the queue being used as an extension for the Rise of the Resistance queue. Thinking about it, I realized that this was one of the few occasions where the extended queue for an older ride was being used again after its decline in popularity. As convenient as it is to have short wait times for some of the less popular attractions at Disney in general, it is still heartbreaking to know that these rides have lost a certain charm that their popularity gave them.

I know that one day Galaxy’s edge will swallow Muppetvision. I only hope that when it inevitably happens they will use it as an opportunity to built a true Muppet land elsewhere in Hollywood studios. Rebuild Muppetvision in it’s balloon decorated glory, a good Pizzarizzo that reflects the concept better and that Muppet movie ride brought to reality where they can pay homage to both Jim’s concept as well as the late great movie ride itself. Sadly I’m not holding my breath, I don’t trust them to give the Muppets the attention they deserve, not while their current Muppet business is in the toilet.
I sense when Grand Avenue is gone there will be no Muppet representation in all the parks.
Self fulfilling prophecy that people don’t care about the Muppets, but only because they aren’t doing anything good with them

They better not remove this ride from Disney’s Hollywood Studios

If this does i bet the muppet fans would riot

I love the muppets! I was at Disney when Jim Henson was there. I never realized though that the fire truck in the film was actually outside the building for a while. Bummer. I am surprised the attraction still remains. Muppets are so under-appreciated these days. I'm so old, I remember when the Muppet movies - like, the original Muppet Movie and the Muppet Caper- came out in theaters ❤ Good times.

When muppets heard that Jim Henson died- lion sleeps tonight song plays

Best history of muppet vision 3d ever.

Would you like to see a bigger Muppets presence in the park and what would you want to see? Let me know!
