MuppetVision 3D has taken its final bow at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, leaving in its wake a legacy spanning over 34 years. Fans gathered in droves to experience nostalgia one last time, creating a bittersweet yet vibrant scene reminiscent of the magic this show brought to life.
The Last Curtain Call
When the lights dimmed and the Muppets embarked on their farewell journey, it wasn’t just a show—it was an experience rich with memories of laughter and joy. Originally unveiled on May 16, 1991, MuppetVision 3D has hosted guests across generations. Its final public performance on June 7, 2025, marked an emotional day for many as they waved goodbye to the whimsical world of Kermit, Miss Piggy, and friends.
A Day to Remember
The usual routine turned extraordinary on this day, with wristbands issued for those lining up to capture this historic finale. An overflow of fans found solace in extended queues at nearby PizzeRizzo and the themed penny machine, making every moment memorable. Despite traditionally ending operations an hour before the park closed, MuppetVision extended its hours—offering a fleeting chance to embrace its charm.
What’s Next?
As the Muppets took their last bow, the question of what’s next loomed large. Hints suggest a new Monstropolis-themed show will replace this beloved gem, yet Disney remains notably tight-lipped about specific details. The upcoming “Monsters, Inc.” land promises new adventures, with a groundbreaking suspended door coaster featuring Disney’s first-ever vertical lift.
A New Era Begins
While Muppet classics leave the Grand Avenue show, Disney has announced the Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster starring Aerosmith will close for a reimagining in 2026, with whispers of a new Muppets-themed version thrilling fans. As enthusiasts brace for this new era, the spirit of the Muppets ensures they remain in hearts worldwide.
Capturing Memories Forever
