The Muppets are coming to Liberty Square in a new attraction. BREAKING: The Muppets Are Coming to Liberty Square at the Magic Kingdom in New Attraction
I have to admit that I wouldn't mind talking to Sam the Eagle in a patriotic setting like Liberty Square. Actually...that would be pretty darn cool!
It sounds like this will be more atmosphere entertainment than an actual "attraction", but I think it has the potential to be a lot of fun. It will all come down to how it's executed, but I could see Sam the Eagle and Stadtler & Waldorf heckling people from the second-story windows and throwing in patriotic references along the way. It would definitely be unique among WDW's other entertainment (USH occasionally has similar performers in their upper lot facades), which is always a welcome addition
It's odd to be that they are bringing them to Liberty Square because they have their own courtyard at DHS! I'm not against it, though! It brings some life to the square.
Just watched a video of the new show 'Great Moments in History' Super fun and clever and a little edutainment thrown in. New live Muppets show debuts at Magic Kingdom - Video
I've only had time to watch one of them, but it's very well done. Funny and educational, which is what the Muppets and WDW should be all about. In related news, the Muppet Mobile Lab has been spotted in Epcot as well this week so the Muppets really are marking their mark on WDW right now.
