==Attraction History==

The history of Muppet Vision 3D began in 1989, when Disney and Muppet Creator Jim Henson were closing in on merger agreement <ref name= "time"> http://www.nytimes.com/1989/08/29/business/muppets-join-disney-menagerie.html </ref>. As part of the agreement, Disney would have become the owner of the Muppet franchise and Jim Henson would have joined the company in numerous roles. After acquiring the Muppets, Disney also planned on integrating them into their theme parks<ref name= "time"/>.In the Disney-MGM Studios, Imagineers began to work on plans for Muppet Movieland<ref name= "Martin"> http://www.martinsvids.net/?p=30 </ref>. This new area of the park would have featured two main attractions, The Great Muppet Movie Ride (a parody of [[The Great Movie Ride]] and a 3D film attraction<ref name= "Martin"/>.

Leading up to and following the release of the 2014 film Muppets Most Wanted, Constantine (the villain of the new film) was added to Muppet Vision 3Ds preshow <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/jim-hensons-muppetvision-3d/news/21mar2014-muppet-vision-3d-to-receive-new-pre-show-this-week-to-promote-'muppets-most-wanted'-movie.htm </ref>

==Attraction Plot==

===Queue===

When guests first enter the queue for Muppet Vision 3D, they pass by posters of Muppets spoofing various movies. Some of the posters here include: Hammah Montana, Pirates of the Amphibian, High School Mayhem, Wild Frogs, and BEAK•E. Moving on, guests enter a room which is designed to look like the lobby of Muppet Labs. While winding through the queue, guests pass by various office rooms with ridiculous titles. Above an unattended security desk, guests can see a photograph of Link Hogthrob in a patrol man uniform. A sign nearby tells guests that there is a key under the mat, and if guests lift it, the mat reveals a key to the building.

===Main Show===

After watching the preshow, the audience enters a reproduction of the Muppet Theater. As in the show, Statler and Waldorf are sitting in their theater box. After entering the theater, guests are instructed to put on their 3D glasses, as Nicky Napoleon and his Emperor Penguins (in Audio Animatronic form) play an instrumental version of The Muppet Show Theme. As the curtain rises, a door which reads “Kermit the Frog presents Muppet Vision 3D” is revealed. The 3D portion of the door seems to be moving towards the audience, but it is simply Gonzo holding the sign at the end of a long pole. After Kermit chastises the daredevil, he welcomes guests to the show and takes them around the facility. Kermit then informs guests that the Swedish Chef is once again in charge of filming the show. He also introduces the upcoming acts including a song by Miss Piggy, and musical finale by Sam the Eagle. Kermit concludes the introduction by saying that "at no time will we be stooping to any cheap 3D tricks."

At this point in the attraction Kermit is interrupted by Fozzie, who performs a series of cheap 3D tricks. His tricks include a party streamer, a shake nut can, and a flower in his lapel that squirts real water onto the audience. In the middle of his act, Statler & Waldorf heckle Fozzie, telling him that his act isn't even funny in 3D! When Fozzie asks how the old men got here, they inform him that:

After Gonzo leaves the screen, Sweetums appears playing paddle ball. Just as Fozzie is complimenting the effect, Gonzo and Kermit enter the scene discussing what has happened. Gonzo, Fozzie and Kermit then organize a search party for Bean, telling the audience to holler if they see the rabbit.

While the Muppets are looking for Bean, a walk around version of Sweetums strolls through the audience holding a flashlight. After a little while searching, voices of children say that they see Bean in the balcony on the left. Sure enough, the bunny is sitting in a box opposite Waldorf and Statler’s. Bean eventually agrees to stay, after Fozzie suggests that he can set off the fireworks for the show's finale.
