Jim Henson's Muppet*Vision 3-D is a spectacular 3-D movie starring all your favourite muppets. The attraction is more like 4-D, since there are special effects and Audio-Animatronics in the theatre itslef. After guests enter the building which houses the attraction, they enter a room, with many overhead TV screens, for a humorous pre-show starring Skooter, Gonzo, Rizzo the rat, and others. The room is also laden with props and gags such as "a net full of jello" (Annette Funicello). Next, guests proceed into the main theatre which looks somewhat similar to the theatre in "The Muppet Show". In the front of the theatre, there's a band made up of penguins squawking about; in the rear of the theatre, the "Yell and Howell" projector is run by the Swedish Chef; even Waldorf and Statler are sitting in their private box ready to heckle the performers. As the movie starts, Kermit takes us to Muppet Labs where Dr. Bunson Honeydew and Beaker have created a new character called Waldo, the "spirit of 3-D". Unfortunately, Muppet Labs is accidentally sucked into a vacuum, leaving Waldo free to wander around the movie! After a few more appearances from other muppets, Kermit starts the main show with acts such as Miss Piggy's hilarious solo, which Bean Bunny insists on helping with, and Sam Eagle's grand finale, "a tribute to all nations, but especially America", which turns into a war. At the end, the Swedish Chef gets so angry he uses a cannon to blast a hole through the screen! Guests in the front row get an extra surprise comprising of a sprinkling of water to match the activity on screen. This attraction is great for all ages, and will keep everyone in stitches.
