the average age of a Muppet fan is like, 35

They need to stop crying and check on their 401Ks

Yes! How about the cost of living?

Nostalgic adults may love the muppets , but they still want to bring their kids with them on the ride

This is my main concern about the project. I can see the justification behind replacing Aerosmith with something else and I think the Muppets will work fine... but the Muppets are a family-friendly IP. People see Kermit, and they instantly associate it as a family experience.

Imagineers constantly discuss in interviews how a major concern of theirs is how to describe the experience without spoiling it to people in advance. RNR's facade has the inverted Cadillac at the entrance, so that quickly tells people this is an inverting coaster.

Seems strange to have a Muppets tag on such a high thrill coaster. I don't understand the reasoning....Personally, I like the theme, but I don't get what demographic they're going for. Kids sure aren't going to ride that. It's certainly no Slinky or Goofy type coaster that kids could ride.

FWIW a The Goofy Movie-themed RNRC would have the same issues. Aging IP mostly aimed at audiences that can't ride.

Hey hey hey... let's watch it with that "aging IP" talk.. A Goofy Movie was just released this past April. There's no way its 30 years old & I saw it in theatres or watched it several hundred times at my grandparents house

But in fairness, it would give them an excuse to have a new meet-n-greet/photo-op created in the area. As for the ride itself, two song options "Stand Out" & "Eye to Eye" alternating.

Just because it is a beloved animated movie doesn't mean it needs to be restricted to an all-ages ride. Powerline should've been RNR from day one instead of Aerosmith, but thats Disney's short-sighted decision.

Muppets falls into this same category. However, if they would just bite the bullet & build the "Great Muppet Movie Ride" next to RNR, you'd cater to everyone- thrill seekers & family-friendly.
(Just relocate the Villains show)

I can see Ms Piggy launching the coaster before the Muppets are “ready” for us to go, a la Toothless on Hiccups Winggliders. It works but should be a retrack.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Muppet Vision replace the Villains show once Villains land comes online. I don't think Muppet Vision will return in its previous form, but updated with modern day effects and new film.

I think Disney decided that the Muppets needed a presence in the park, but not a substantial costly addition. A light retheme of RNR & Sunset Showplace can do well.

I'm sure the coaster will still be popular with long lines, primarily because it's one of the few thrill coasters on WDW property. But it will be a question in the minds of young kids who will be thinking....WHY?.......This is like if Universal would retheme Revenge of the Mummy to the Minions. Like, Huh?
