The Muppets Past, Present, and Future

Talk of this new show has brought about many conversations regarding the future of the Muppets, not just the franchise but their place in Disney theme parks. The Muppets grew in popularity in the ’70s, ’80s, and ’90s due to avenues such as Sesame Street, The Muppet Show, and a series of films. The Muppets made a slight comeback with The Muppets (2011) and Muppets Most Wanted (2014) but have again since fallen from pop culture.

If there is indeed a future for the Muppets, it only makes sense that such a presence in Disney Parks would be at Hollywood Studios. The Muppet Vision 3D attraction remains  – although it has gotten a reputation for being somewhat dated and accused of not being up kept by Park employees.

In addition, there has been much speculation that Disney may drop Aerosmith from their Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster attraction. Although this has not been confirmed, it has caused many Walt Disney World fans to speculate and engage in armchair discussions over what band or musician could take up residency inside the G-Force record studio.

A Deleted Tweet

Recently, Jeff Yorkes, the co-creator of The Muppets Mayhem series on Disney Plus, tweeted that part of their original pitch was to have the Muppet band (Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem) take over the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster. However, this tweet has since been mysteriously deleted, causing much speculation as to why.

In addition, there has been speculation that Muppet Vision 3D – placed near Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge (and Star Tours), may be facing closure to make room for more Star Wars rides and attractions.

As of now, there have been no conclusive statements made by Disney about the future of the Electric Mayhem Muppets at the Park. Although it’s unlikely that if Disney dropped Aerosmith from the ride, that they would replace the band with singing puppets. But who knows? Stranger things have happened, and odder attractions and re-themes have been made.
