a brief appearance at Disney's California Adventure in California, the

try out advanced robotic, interactive and transportation technologies, mixed
with human comedy talent. There is no certainty at this time whether the
Muppet Mobile Lab will become a permanent feature. The ideas could be
transferred to a variety of other characters and locations, said Christopher
