Does anyone have info on this old show at MGM from at least a decade ago? What was it like, where was it, etc.?

Wow - great find, I realy find the rest interesting on what would have been if they wouldn't have botched their deals with Henson. A whole new ride where the lame hunchback theater is? Wow... Pretty sad for all us Muppet fans, I'd have loved to see all of that come true - if that is accurate it sounds like it was close to being reality too.

Wow, it is amazing to know what could have been. Quite tragic for all of us who love the Muppets, but there is still time. After all, now that Disney and Henson have permanently teamed up, isn't there a chance that some of those fabulous ideas could still come to be?

Yeah - with them all together now it would certainly be a good time to start looking at it again. With the surge of popularity, the huge hit sales with the Muppet Show Season 1 DVD, etc. now is the time I say!

I've heard rumors that Disney is considering expanding Muppets at WDW

I've heard anything from a Muppet Great Movie Ride to a new live stage show. Nothing I've heard I'd really bet on.
