Disney Legend Josh Gad Rallies Support for Muppet Vision 3D Amid Disney’s New Monsters, Inc. Expansion Plans
Disney’s Hollywood Studios is set to get even more thrilling with the announcement of a new Monsters, Inc. themed expansion, which will feature the first-ever suspended roller coaster at a Disney theme park. But while excitement builds for this new addition, Josh Gad, the beloved voice of Olaf from Frozen, has taken to social media to rally support for another iconic attraction that may be at risk: Muppet Vision 3D.

In a post on the Threads social media platform, Gad voiced his concern, declaring, “The Muppets must be protected at all costs.” His statement has resonated with fans, many of whom are worried that the new Monstropolis-themed land could replace the area currently occupied by Muppet Vision 3D. This attraction is not only a fan favorite but also holds significant historical value as the final performance by the legendary Jim Henson.
According to reports from The Wrap, Disney was on the verge of announcing the closure of Muppet Vision 3D to make way for the new Monsters, Inc. expansion, but that portion of the announcement was pulled at the last minute. This has led to speculation about whether Disney is still considering other options for the location of the new land or if they are simply delaying the inevitable news that Muppet Vision 3D might be on the chopping block.
The new Monsters, Inc. expansion is set to immerse guests in the world of Monstropolis, picking up where the beloved Pixar film left off. Guests will be able to visit the city where laughter powers everything and join Sulley and Mike Wazowski on a thrilling ride through the factory, complete with all the laughs and excitement of the movie. The coaster will put guests right in the middle of the action, making it a must-do for Pixar fans.
