Disney World Is Making Two Massive Changes That Are Good And Bad News For Fans

As a lifelong Disney enthusiast and Muppets devotee, I must admit that this news has left me with a bittersweet taste. On one hand, the prospect of a Monsters Inc. land at Walt Disney World is exhilarating, promising new adventures for us all to enjoy. However, the closure of the cherished Muppet*Vision 3D leaves me feeling a tad melancholic.


Since D23 in August, Disney World enthusiasts have harbored some apprehension. While we’ve been excited about the numerous new attractions at Disney World, this excitement is tempered by the possibility of bidding farewell to beloved classics.

The unveiling of a fresh territory themed after Monsters Inc. was met with excitement, yet whispers hinted at the potential sacrifice of Muppet*Vision 3D, a long-standing attraction in Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now, the blueprint for Disney’s Hollywood Studios’ future has been disclosed, and if you’re a Muppets enthusiast, I bring both encouraging and concerning tidings.

Muppet*Vision 3D Is Closing After All

One thing that fans didn’t want to see will come to pass. Theme park reporter Scott Gustin broke the news that the new Monsters Inc. land will replace the Muppets Courtyard. This will include some sort of Monsters Inc. show going into the location where Muppet*Vision 3D currently runs. The Monsters Inc. Door Coaster will be built into a new area behind the existing courtyard.

It was anticipated that the fresh territory could potentially be integrated into the Animation Square, a part of the park that usually receives less attention at present. Presently, a new production of The Little Mermaid is being worked on within this area, yet beyond that, there isn’t much activity ongoing.

As a devoted fan, I’m thrilled to share that Gustin has mentioned ongoing discussions about preserving the film and related aspects of the experience for us fans, hinting at the potential survival of this beloved project – the last Muppet production Jim Henson himself was deeply involved with.

As a devoted Muppets enthusiast, I must admit that the future of Muppet*Vision 3D might be uncertain, but fear not! These beloved characters will continue to enchant us in various other parts of the park.

The Muppets Are Taking Over The Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster

As an enthusiast, I can’t help but express my excitement about the potential transformation of the Rock ‘N’ Roller Coaster at Walt Disney World. For years, there have been whispers of a re-theme, and one idea that has caught my imagination is the possibility of incorporating The Muppet’s house band, Electric Mayhem, as the musical heartbeat. Now, it seems this dream might just become a reality!

Though specifics aren’t yet fully disclosed, it appears that the Muppet gang is set to dominate a thrilling rollercoaster ride at an event dubbed as a “rocking music festival.” Not only will Electric Mayhem be involved, but this festive occasion promises to include all the Muppets!

A definite schedule for the changes hasn’t been disclosed yet, which means you still have a chance to visit both attractions before they shut down temporarily for renovations to start.

Fans of Disney World, particularly those who are fond of the Muppets, may not be entirely satisfied with this swap. The closure of Muppet*Vision 3D, a highly cherished attraction, might not suffice for some ardent enthusiasts. However, it’s important to note that The Muppets aren’t disappearing entirely from Disney World. The long-overdue retheming of the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster is a positive development.

This just leaves us with one question. What about PizzeRizzo?
