Fans Rally in Support of Beloved Attraction

Muppet*Vision 3D, which debuted in 1991, has been a cherished part of the Disney experience, known for its innovative use of 3D technology and the humorous antics of Jim Henson’s iconic Muppet characters. The attraction, directed by Henson himself, has been a staple of Disney’s entertainment offerings, enchanting guests with its whimsical charm and technological innovation.

The anticipated replacement, “Monstropolis,” is expected to bring the vibrant world of Pixar’s Monsters Inc. to life, offering new interactive experiences and attractions based on the popular film. While the new land promises to add a fresh and exciting dimension to the park, many visitors are lamenting the potential loss of Muppet*Vision 3D.

As the rumored closure approaches, a surge of fans has been making their way to the attraction, eager to relive the magic of Muppet*Vision 3D before it is possibly demolished. Social media is abuzz with posts from visitors sharing their final experiences and reminiscing about the joy the attraction has brought them over the years.

  1. Hollywood has never been my favorite although I really loved the old street scenes, The Osborne lights, and the Muppet Theater. I’m really thankful I went last December.

  2. I would love for Disney transfer back to the days of MGM Studios. I loved that the best. It never got old.
