Muppet*Vision 3D closes as Disney World prepares for Monsters Inc
- Muppet*Vision 3D officially closed to pave the way for Pixar's Monsters Inc. land at Disney World.
- The attraction was Jim Henson's last project and a cherished part of the Muppets legacy.
- The future of the Muppets in Disney Parks includes a revamped role in the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster.
In late 2023, Disney World confirmed the closure of the Muppet*Vision 3D attraction as part of a larger renovation to accommodate the new Monsters Inc. land. This beloved attraction was notable for being Jim Henson's final project, integrating unique animatronic displays and a 3D film experience that delighted audiences for years. The decision was met with nostalgia, as many fans recalled the show's humorous characters and chaotic charm. The closure also indicated a shift in strategy for Disney Parks, aligning with the ongoing trend of expanding and modernizing attractions to appeal to new generations of visitors. The Muppets are expected to have a new role in the re-imagining of the Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, although concerns have been raised about how this shift may impact young audiences and their connection to the Muppets legacy.
