History Ride / MuppetVision3D

* BindleStick: Waldo turns into one when he runs away with Bean.

* AffectionateParody: "A Salute to All Nations, but Mostly America" is this to "It's a Small World", complete with the actual song turning up on the soundtrack.

* MesACrowd: In the pre show, Gonzo performs a tap dance while wearing a flower pot on his head. At first the same video appears to be playing on all three screens, but then the Gonzo on the middle screen drops his pot, and the Gonzo on the stage left screen tries to help put it back on. Later, when Scooter calls for Gonzo, he's answered by ''two'' Gonzos, one of which is upside down.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The orchestra. As Waldorf snidely remarks, they are probably in it just for the halibut.

* TheCameo: Constantine from ''Film/MuppetsMostWanted'' had a segment in the pre show from 2014 to 2016.

** All over the place in the queue. A net full of jello, anyone? [[spoiler:Annette Funicello, the most famous member of the original ''Mickey Mouse Club'', for those that don't get it.]]

While the Florida version of the attraction has been playing uninterrupted since 1991, the California version became a seasonal attraction from 2010 to 2014. In that time the theater became host to three film previews, for ''Film/TronLegacy'' in 2010, ''WesternAnimation/{{Frankenweenie}}'' in 2012 and ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful'' in 2013. The show had its last performance in 2014 when it was replaced with ''For the First Time in Forever: A Disney/{{Frozen}} Sing-Along Celebration'', which played in the theater until the opening of ''Frozen: Live at the Hyperion'' in 2015. The Muppet Theater was then renamed the Sunset Showcase Theater, a venue exclusively for movie previews. In 2019, the theater became home to ''Ride/MickeysPhilharmagic''.

Before he died, Creator/JimHenson directed one last project with Franchise/TheMuppets for the group he was working on selling them to: Creator/{{Disney}}. The show, ''Muppet*Vision 3D'', which was written for the Ride/DisneyThemeParks, combines 3D images, audio animatronics, and live actors for one of the parks' most interactive movies. It premiered in 1991 at the Disney-MGM Studios theme park (now Disney's Hollywood Studios) in Walt Disney World. It also became an opening day attraction for the Disney California Adventure park at Disneyland in 2001.

* TheArtifact: The Florida show was originally housed in the Streets of America section of Hollywood Studios, which was demolished in 2016 to make room for ''Toy Story Land'' and ''[[Ride/StarWarsGalaxysEdge]]''. Grand Avenue, formerly Muppets Courtyard, was the only remnant of the area allowed to keep its urban setting more or less so ''Muppet*Vision'' could remain open in its own appropriately themed nook at the park.

The California Adventure incarnation of the show had its last performance in 2014. The former Muppet Theater in that park is now known as the Sunset Showcase Theater, which as of 2019 shows ''Ride/MickeysPhilharmagic''.

The California Adventure incarnation of the show had its last performance in 2014 when it was replaced with ''For the First Time in Forever: A Disney/{{Frozen}} Sing-Along Celebration''. Prior to this, starting in [[TheNewTens 2010]] the show would occasionally be taken out of rotation in the theater in favor of upcoming movie previews such as for ''Film/TronLegacy'' and ''Film/OzTheGreatAndPowerful''. Although it was believed that the Muppets would return to the theater following the end of the sing-along's run in 2015, the Muppet Theater was instead overhauled as the ''Sunset Showcase Theater'', a venue exclusively for movie previews. In 2019, Disney announced that ''Ride/MickeysPhilharmagic'' would move into the theater.

The California Adventure incarnation of the show was shut down in 2015. Throughout TheNewTens, the Muppets had sometimes been sidelined in favor of using the theater for movie previews before it was repurposed for ''Disney/{{Frozen}}'' sing-along shows full-time. Although ''Frozen''[='s=] presence was implied to be temporary, when it moved out the following year and into the neighboring Hyperion theater (replacing its ''Disney/{{Aladdin}}'' stage show), the Muppet Theater was overhauled as Sunset Showcase Theater, a venue for previews. In 2019, Disney announced that ''Ride/MickeysPhilharmagic'' would move into the theater.

* HawaiianShirtedTourist: Initially, when the attraction opened, Statler and Waldorf were dressed in their suits, like on ''LiveActionTV/TheMuppetShow''. At some point during the '90s, they were redressed in more casual wear.

* EverythingsBetterWithPenguins: The orchestra.

* LetterMotif: Fozzie hires "The Three Ds", consisting of three female singers named Dinah, Dorothy, and Debbie, to sing during the preshow. [[spoiler:Debbie fell ill and became replaced by a WholesomeCrossdresser named Max.]]
