Disney has confirmed that the classic "Muppet*Vision 3D" attraction, which closed at Hollywood Studios in 2025, will be preserved and reimagined for Apple's new Vision Pro headset. While details are still scarce, Brian Henson, son of Muppets creator Jim Henson, has hinted that fans can expect an immersive virtual recreation of the original 3D theater experience.

Why it matters

The return of "Muppet*Vision 3D" in virtual reality is exciting news for Muppets fans, who have long mourned the closure of the beloved attraction. This move not only preserves a piece of Disney theme park history, but also brings the Muppets' unique brand of humor and entertainment to the emerging world of virtual reality.

The details

The original "Muppet*Vision 3D" attraction, which opened in 1991 at Disney's Hollywood Studios (then called Disney-MGM Studios) and later at Disney California Adventure, combined animatronics, live performers, and 3D film to create a one-of-a-kind experience for Muppets fans. Disney has confirmed that it worked to preserve the attraction before its closure, and it seems the company has been able to capture the 3D film for use in virtual reality.
