Disney fans are making their way to Muppet*Vision 3D at Disney’s Hollywood Studios in Walt Disney World Resort for one final laugh-filled adventure. After the announcement of its upcoming closure earlier this year, the beloved attraction has seen a surge in visitors eager to experience the show before it’s gone for good.

A Farewell to the Muppets

Since its debut in 1991, Muppet*Vision 3D has been a fan-favorite at Hollywood Studios. The attraction, featuring a hilarious 3D show hosted by Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy, and other Muppet favorites, blends Jim Henson’s iconic humor with cutting-edge (for its time) technology. Its mix of slapstick comedy, heartwarming moments, and audience interaction has delighted generations of parkgoers.

The attraction’s closure marks the end of an era, as Disney plans to remove it to make way for a brand-new Monsters Inc. land, aptly named Monstropolis. While the news of Monstropolis has been met with excitement, it has also sparked an outpouring of nostalgia and sadness from fans who consider Muppet*Vision 3D a piece of Disney’s history.

An Emotional Goodbye

Fans have been flocking to the attraction in recent weeks, determined to catch one last glimpse of the Muppets’ antics on the big screen. Social media has been flooded with photos, videos, and heartfelt posts from visitors sharing their favorite memories of the show.

While Muppet*Vision 3D is closing, the Muppets aren’t disappearing entirely from Disney’s Hollywood Studios. They are set to take over the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, transforming the high-speed ride into a “rockin’ music festival experience” where the Muppets will team up with some of music’s biggest stars.

Disney has also hinted at preserving elements of Muppet*Vision 3D, with a statement earlier this year saying they are “exploring ways to keep the show and its legacy alive for future generations.” For now, however, fans are left to speculate on what that could mean.

Looking Ahead: Monsters Inc. Land

The new Monstropolis will bring a slice of the beloved Pixar universe to Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Guests can expect immersive experiences featuring Mike, Sulley, and Boo in a setting inspired by the Monsters Inc. films. While details remain scarce, the addition is part of Disney’s ongoing effort to refresh and modernize its parks.

The attraction’s blend of humor, nostalgia, and creativity has left an indelible mark on Disney fans, making its closure an emotional event. Whether you’re a longtime Muppet fan or a casual parkgoer, the message is clear: now is the time to experience this classic Disney attraction before it takes its final bow.
