Nevertheless, person @DisneyOnParade has pitched why this does not appear to be the case with the fanbase surrounding this attraction with love:
Regardless of what number of instances I watched #MuppetVision3D, every time was full of laughs, water sprays, bubbles and butt bops that you simply could not assist however giggle about and love. It by no means disillusioned and was Jim Hanson’s final masterpiece earlier than his sudden dying. Will probably be missed.

Followers Have not Given Up Hope On Preserving MuppetVision 3D
Nonetheless, whereas MuppetVision 3D has closed, there are many followers who hope for a future for the attraction, and for the Muppets as an entire in Disney’s beloved theme parks.
- “Construct a brand new Muppet Theater for MippetVision 3-D the place that Villains present is. The re-theme of Rock N Curler Coaster is overdue, however @TheMuppets deserve so significantly better from @WaltDisneyWorld @DisneyParks @WaltDisneyCo. I’ll miss #MuppetVision3D a lot… 😔 #TheMuppets – @SirEricBrown
- “If solely there was a theater someplace they may announce the Muppets have been coming again to.” – @ParkJourney
- “RIP MuppetVision 3D (1991-2025) A traditional that didn’t need to die too quickly. If @DisneyPlus can launch the movie for preservations sake (alongside Magic Journeys, Captain EO, Honey I Shrunk The Viewers, and It’s Robust to be a Bug), I might very a lot recognize it. – @ThemePark_Nerdo
That final level turns into extra solvent than ever, as @ParkJourney included pictures from Disney California Journey’s Sundown Showcase Theater – the present venue for Mickey’s PhilharMagic 3D – in that farewell publish. Which completely aligns with what our personal Danielle Bruncati and others have been saying about MuppetVision 3D’s potential relocation to California.
Personally, I feel bringing the 3D movie again to the West Coast for the primary time since closing in 2014 can be a greater transfer than simply securing the movie in a warehouse someplace. There’s even calls from some followers to protect Jim Henson’s remaining Muppet present within the Library of Congress. I would like that greater than the Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster re-theming that can see the Muppets again in motion at Hollywood Studios, however we’ll have to attend and see the way it all pans out.
Positive the brand new rollercoaster might be neat, however I nonetheless really feel firmly that’s not going to be almost as accessible as a 3D theater can be. One may definitely lose hope at a time like this.
Then you definitely find out about how Heather Henson, Jim’s Daughter, was the final member of the general public to stroll into the MuppetVision 3D theater. And then you definately see movies like this fan tribute on closing evening; and instantly, it’s okay:

The dream of MuppetVision 3D is over, and it’s a tragic time for Muppets followers. Nevertheless, that’s the correct level to create a brand new dream. One thing greater, grander, and extra wonderful than Sam the Eagle’s salute to all nations (however principally America.) As long as all of us proceed to play our half among the many lovers and the dreamers, we’ll be okay. Let’s hope it’s not too lengthy till we see Kermit, Miss Piggy, and the remainder of the Muppet Gang once more; as a result of critically, how lengthy can a Rock ‘n’ Curler Coaster refurb take?!
