muppets 3D ?
That's a shame about the Muppets. I realize it's old but they've had 2 recent hit films and a new series in the fall. I would think Disney would want to keep a Muppet presence in the park. I'll wait to see the details of the expansion and see if there's any family type stuff coming , but it doesn't seem like it after taking away One Man 's Dream, Muppets 3D, and the animation tour.

While I will certainly miss many of the attractions that don't make the cut, it definitely was time for a change. My wife and daughter will certainly miss the Beauty and the Beast show. Some of the attractions like the backlot tour I miss only for the nostalgia piece and kind of how corny it got (it felt very 80's), and that wasn't its purpose. Changes will be good here I believe.

BTW, the original blogger stated in his comments that the Star Wars ride is safe, as is Fantasmic. He said he overlooked them. There is also considerable back and forth about the fate of the Muppets. It seems a conflicting rumor states that it will be shut down and referbed...not closed permanently.

Just don't take this click and bait article has gospel... All he did was rehash all old fan wishes and rumors from over the years... And post the obvious...
Yes more Star Wars is coming... Yes, Pixar Place is expanding... Everything else? Well, not so fast according to people with connections...
Just temper the expectations and don't take this article as a be all end all, know it all... It isn't... Take with massive grain of salt...
And let's hope they do it right... Can't trust them to do it right in WDW... Just can't...

These would be fabulous changes!! But I will hold off on too much excitement until it comes from an official source. Whatever they do, I hope they do it in a timely manner.

Wonder how this affects the Restaurants there. My heart (and tastebuds) will be permanently traumatized if I lose the 50s Diner!!

It's not fun while it's happening. We watched all the changes at Disney California Adventure while they kept the park open. It was great when the walls finally came down.

one mans dream needs to stay somewhere..maybe MK. muppets should also have a presence. the animation could maybe fit in Epcot Innoventions. first they closed the studio...now where is the animation. I dont mind the money finally being put into some things though. and Epcot should be worked on, more than a Maelstrom removal............

I actually look forward to a change to Illuminations. I love the music, but DH and I joke about the globe only being there because it's someone's labor of love. It's a very long, drawn out part of the show, and quite boring. I would love to see more fireworks and pyro, personally.
I'm sure they'll include fantastic music... all fireworks shows we've seen at Epcot since we've started going in 1996 have had wonderful music.

One Man's Dream HAS to stay somewhere......... it is the history of the place.

Of the 3, I'm only a fan of Pixar. I really hope they just move the Animation part and One Man's Dream, but I'm sure that's just wishful thinking.

I am so with you on this one ... bring on Pixar sooner than later & please relocate the Art of Animation - the sketching is so much fun. And one should always pay tribute to Walt!

This sounds like great news. I can't wait to hear the official announcements in August!
I can't see them getting rid of the Muppets. (I thought Disney now owned them) so although the show may be going, I am sure they will have presence at the new refurbished studio. I mean don't the muppets have a show premiering this fall? Also, I have ridden the Indiana Jones Adventure ride in California, and I have always wondered, why they did not have that attraction here in Florida. I mean, I like the stunt show, but we don't go anymore because we have seen is so many times. I am excited about the changes, but loved the Hollywood stuff and hope they keep some the the attractions for the little ones like Disney Jr. show.

Better keep the Pot Roast on the menu at the 50's diner
If they close One Mans dream I have dibbs on the toys behind the glass
First trip 1986 ...
Not enough since then!

The Studios really needs help, so I hope that this comes to fruition.
I am definitely a sentimental fool for MuppetVision, but I do realize that it's in a prime location if they really do intend to do a huge overhaul. From the preshow to the actual show, I think it's one of the only 3D films (aside from PhilHarMagic) that stands the test of time. When the special effects are going full force (which granted, doesn't happen often much these days) it's still a great show. Waldo is the only down note but all of the other segments are still funny. The only thing that dates it a little is the clothing of the guests at the end. Plus it was one of the last films Jim Henson and Richard Hunt worked on before they both passed away. I would love if they relocated it, and if not, maybe if the new Muppet show is a hit they will get a different sort of attraction. I think the current movie would easily fit as the movie for the Imagination pavilion (which was a previous rumor) but I won't get my hopes to high. I've seen it plenty of times but hopefully, if this is true, I'll get to say one last goodbye to it in December...

This is why it is important. I understand that many park guests couldn't give a **** about what the history behind a park experience is, but sometimes there really is something special about it that transcends whether each person enjoys doing it or not. If they are going to retire this attraction, they should put the movie as an extra on a DVD/Blu-ray set so people can have it.
An example would be what Universal did on the Back To The Future Blu-ray set when they included the pre-show and attraction films from the Back to the Future park attractions.

Interesting that there's no mention of Marvel? You'd think for sure that they'd want to capitalize on this?
