MuppetVision 3D is a truly classic ride at Hollywood Studios
The Jim Henson Company released a statement today via their social media outlets in regards Disney’s announcement yesterday of the closing of the classic MuppetVision 3D at Hollywood Studios. They express that Jim’s vision, similar to Walt Disney’s, was always about innovation and trailblazing and they are looking forward to the Muppets’ next act. See their statement below:
Jim Henson’s final project was Muppet*Vision 3D, now regarded as a true theme park classic. Innovation was always Jim Henson’s north star, and his trailblazing career led him to a unique challenge: a truly immersive Muppet experience where audiences are part of the happy chaos of the iconic Muppet Show. Originally debuting in 1991, Muppet*Vision 3D combined 3D technology with real-world practical effects, alongside animatronic and live Muppet characters. The result was a one-of-a-kind Jim Henson experience, and an unforgettable capstone to Jim’s magnificent career. As we learn of the show’s upcoming closure in its current form at Disney’s Hollywood Studios , we look forward to Muppet*Vision 3D’s next act.
If you have Disney+ I highly recommend watching Jim Henson Idea Man to learn all about the wonderful creations that he brought to life.
