Iconic Kermit The Frog Hot Air Balloon being Removed from Muppets Courtyard

Among the many sacrifices at Hollywood Studios needed to make way for Star Wars Land, it seems we can add another iconic “attraction” to the list.

It appears that the Kermit The Frog hot air balloon that resides above the Muppets Courtyard is being removed. We hear from WDW News Today that the reason is that you would be able to see the balloon from inside Star Wars Land, which would take away from the immersive theming of being in a Galaxy Far, Far Away.

 


We’re sad to see another of our favorites disappearing, but we’re also very excited to see what new offerings Hollywood Studios will bring to guests once the massive transformation of the park is finished.

 

What are your thoughts on the removal?

One thought on “Iconic Kermit The Frog Hot Air Balloon being Removed from Muppets Courtyard

  1. I wish they would quit destroying everything from the past to make way for the future. New things are certainly needed but many of the old ones that they are destroying were also well-liked and respected icons of WDW. This may not be the one that I hate seeing leave the most but it certainly just another example of how they are destroying the past.
