The Muppets are set to find a new location at Disney’s Hollywood Studios.
In order to accommodate the newly announced Monsters, Inc. area, the park will close the current Muppet*Vision 3D attraction. Icons like Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy will relocate to Sunset Boulevard, taking over the popular Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, which is presently themed around Aerosmith.
The revamped ride will feature Muppet characters alongside musical celebrities in a vibrant music festival setting.
“We know so many of you share our love for The Muppets and know their energy will be a perfect fit for this coaster,” a Disney Parks Blog post read. “Plus, as the first Disney ride ever to feature The Muppets, there’s sure to be laughter, screams and new tunes for this attraction for fans to enjoy throughout the adventure and plenty of Muppets-themed merchandise on Sunset Boulevard!”
Disney has not announced a timeline for when these changes will occur. According to the blog post, the company is “engaging in creative discussions and looking for ways to maintain the film and other elements of the experience for fans to appreciate in the future.”
Work on the Monsters, Inc. area is expected to start in 2025. This will be the first of its kind at a Disney park, featuring a suspended coaster that takes guests through the Laugh Factory doors, along with a new theater show, dining options, and shopping experiences.
