The Great Muppet Movie Ride is an abandoned concept for an attraction at Disney's Hollywood Studios (formerly Disney-MGM Studios) in Walt Disney World.
The attraction, which was meant to parody the park's own Great Movie Ride, would have brought guests through a variety of set pieces in which the Muppets attempted to recreate scenes from classic movies, such as Frankenstein and Peter Pan. Statler and Waldorf would have been seated in a cart alongside the guests and would experience misfortune based on the different scenes.[1]
Plans for the ride, which would have complemented Muppet*Vision 3D in a new Muppet Studios section of the park, were abandoned after the merger between The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company fell apart.
