🎙️ Show Summary

Change is in the air at Hollywood Studios, and this time it's all about the Muppets. Steph Sweets and Ed Pizza dive into the closure of Muppet*Vision 3D, the big re-theme of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster, and what these shifts might mean for the future of the parks. From nostalgia for Jim Henson's final project to theories about a full-blown Muppets Land, they explore what's happening now, what could be coming next, and why change at Disney is always both bittersweet and exciting.

✨ Episode Show Notes

In this episode of Catch Us at the Castle:

• The timeline of Muppet*Vision 3D's closure — and why it might not be the end of the Muppets in the parks.

• Rock 'n' Roller Coaster's re-theme: why it was overdue and what a Muppets makeover could look like.

• Jim Henson's legacy, the history of Muppet*Vision 3D, and its surprising run at Disneyland.

• The balance between nostalgia and change — which attractions feel "untouchable" and which ones are ready for something new.

• Why under-attended attractions disappear (and how fans can keep their favorites alive).

• The Villains show at Hollywood Studios — clever tech, low cast size, and why it might be a testing ground for bigger things.

• Steph's "2045 Project" theory: how maps, expansion plans, and Disney's land-use filings point toward a potential Muppets mini-land.

• Creative ideas for re-theming nearby restaurants, walkways, and green space to expand the Muppets footprint.

You'll also hear:

• A lively debate about Walt's philosophy of change and how much of it is interpretation.

• The quirky resurgence of Muppets fandom among Gen Z thanks to Disney+.

• Some "tin foil hat" park map theories that may not be so far-fetched after all.
