EXCELLENT!
25 September 2002
This 1990 Disney-MGM Studios attraction combines everyone's favorite puppets with the magic of 3-dimensional design to create a completely creative and fun show!

Welcome to the Muppet Lab, where anything can (and does!) happen. Here, Kermit and gang want to show you everything crazy that happens here, and the perk is--you feel like you're really there!

As you enter the building, the attendants hand over "safety goggles" (3D glasses) to wear during the show. They pack visitors into a large warehouse room, with props everywhere. The monitors have a terrific pre-show playing that gets the audience prepped. Momentarily, the doors open, and everyone files into the large auditorium, where the audience is exposed to a private tour of Muppet Labs, guided by Kermit the Frog, of course, with a fabulous show planned for the visitors. I saw this attraction for the fourth time on my fourth visit to Walt Disney World in March 2002, and I still love it! Kermit the Frog is my favorite character of all the Muppets, and he is TOO MUCH FUN!!! The jokes never grow old, and the sense of the action is what keeps this attraction fresh! I particularly love how Beaker causes some sort of catastrophe, and how Miss Piggy has contempt for Rizzo the Rat, who she flings across the stage!!!! The two critics Waldorf and Staler, as always, critique the Muppets, and this time they are perched in the balcony in all their animatronic glory. I also thought it was funny when that big freaky Muppet, Sweetums, comes into the crowd with a flashlight looking for Waldo Graphic, asking if he' there. Everyone begins yelling, so I screamed "He's back here!" Miss Piggy's song, "Dream a Little Dream of Me" was so good, especially when the bubbles came down from the ceiling. My best friend and I were laughing constantly on the recent visit, especially when Miss Piggy threw Rizzo into the pond, and at Fozzie's pie through. I cracked up at Gonzo, but then again, I always have. Sam Eagle's "Salute to All Countries, but Mostly America" was good, and you know something horrible is gonna happen, but I won't say exactly what.

Despite the age of this attraction, it is too much fun, and holds up well. I highly recommend this attraction to everyone, especially Muppet fans. Definitely hit the Muppet Studio Store afterwards, since they have AWESOME Muppet merchandise. Also, get your picture taken with the giant Kermit statues and get shots of the signs and fountains. This is the most fun you'll have with 3D.

Walka-walka! [Pie in your face]!!!
