The move follows the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D to clear space for a planned Monsters, Inc. area, coinciding with 70th‑anniversary promotions.
Overview
- Disney has confirmed a full Muppets retheme of Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, slated to debut next year.
- Muppet*Vision 3D closed in July, and the Grand Avenue area is being cleared to make way for a new Monsters, Inc.–themed land.
- Marvel Comics will feature Kermit, Miss Piggy, Gonzo, and others on 10 variant covers in October to mark the franchise’s 70th anniversary.
- The Muppet Christmas Carol will return to U.K. cinemas this winter with live orchestral accompaniment for a fifth consecutive year.
- Some coverage raises the possibility of a larger Muppets presence in the parks, but Disney has not announced plans for a dedicated Muppet land.
