Henson’s Muppet*Vision 3D will close to make room for a new Monsters Inc. Land.
film will close in order to make room for the new land. The Muppets will instead become the new subjects of the park’s Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, which opened in 1999 and is currently themed around the band Aerosmith.first opened in 1991, and it is one of the oldest attractions at Disney Hollywood Studios still in operation. It is particularly notable among Muppet fans because it was one of Jim Henson’s very last projects before his death.
Although Henson died in 1990, before the attraction officially opened, he directed the film — a 3D movie with additional in-theater effects — as well as puppeteered Kermit the Frog and several other Muppet characters in it.film was also at Disney’s California Adventure park for a time, it closed there in 2014. When the film closes in Florida, that will be the end of the attraction — and perhaps the last time Muppet fans will be able to watch this very popular and beloved Henson project.
The Disney Parks Blog does say that the company is “having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.” That suggests the film could be made available on streaming or home video — although without the various 3D and 4D in-theater effects, I’m not sure it will be quite the same thing.
