==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>
 
On June 29, 2017, the theater that houses Muppet Vision 3D was renamed the Grand Arts Theater <ref> http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/jim-hensons-muppetvision-3d/news/29jun2017-photos---muppetvision-theatre-gets-a-new-name-and-entry-marquee.htm </ref>. At this time, the attraction was also given a new marquee. This change was a precursor to the overall retheming (and renaming) of Muppet Courtyard to [[Grand Park]] <ref>http://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/jim-hensons-muppetvision-3d/news/17aug2017-muppets-courtyard-to-be-renamed-grand-park.htm</ref>.
 
On September 30, 2021, a new Muppets Haunted Mansion themed preshow made its debut at Muppet Vision 3D. As opposed to the standard preshow, which gave guests a preview of what was to come, the new Haunted Mansion preshow features Rizzo and Gonzo entering the Haunted Mansion, and serves primarily as a promotion for the upcoming Disney Plus special <ref> https://www.wdwmagic.com/attractions/jim-hensons-muppetvision-3d/news/24sep2021-muppets-haunted-mansion-joining-the-preshow-at-muppet*vision-3d.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 BEAKā€¢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.
