The Muppets 1.02 "Hostile Makeover"

[weepingneo]

Y'know, after a few days I can't stop thinking about the all the stuff in Rock 'n' Roller Coaster starring The Muppets.

(proper spelling as per Joe from Legal)

One aspect of the attraction that it gets right is understanding the Muppets are supposed to exist in real life, meaning that they are realized in the context being someone you can meet, with history all their own.

Muppet Vision 3D displays this trait in physical structure design (plus prop choice and placement) being maintained through the queue, into the video portion of the theater, in addition to the animatronics' interactions that surround you.

The new coaster presents this in ways tied to the modern day. Livestreams from the concert across town that the Mayhem are already supposed to be at, with Danny Trejo getting mad at waiting. Yolanda's presence in the safety spiels, to the notes she leaves (mostly for herself) about the pieces in the exhibit coming over from the penguin orchestra in Muppet Vision 3D, and ordering Pizzarizzo for penguins at the recording studio. Having Sweetums still look for Bean Bunny because he's still worried about him potentially leaving. Dr Honeydew renting out Lock 'n' Roll because a space opened up with Aerosmith's vacancy, and you can tell they've already been experimenting because of the repaired brickwork surrounded by an explosion's scorch marks. Also him patching in the Electric Mayhem's live concert audio into the L.I.M.O. vehicles, solidifying context for why we hear the music as we race across town.

There's so much to point out about this ride being worked on by people who understand why the Muppets are so beloved, and while a thrill ride doesn't fully replace Muppet Vision's place and purpose, it's done enough for me to become my new favorite place inside Hollywood Studios. The work done to it makes a coaster I absolutely enjoyed before, into one of my favorite rides around period.

Also they picked really good songs for the coaster layout. I NEED THEM ON SPOTIFY

FICTIONAL CHARACTER ASK: YOLANDA RAT

Favorite Thing About Them: She is a hard working character that provides a sense of praticality in the middle of chaos, while also being flawed, with a demand for attention and validation, dry sense of humour, who evolved from being "just Rizzo's love interest sidekick" to a character with her own toughts and ambitions.

Least Favorite Thing About Them: How she is never brought up in conversations about Muppet ladies by the fandom.

Three Things I Have In Common With Them:

*I also love to take hour long naps;

*I used braided hair years ago;

*I also experienced hangovers;

Three Things I Don't Have In Common With Them:

*I don't have blonde hair;

*I'm not a rat;

*I never worked as a restaurant waitress;

Favorite Line:

From The Muppets Take Manhattan:

“Hey, Pete, here you go! Two zeroes on a trampoline with a side of Joan of Arc.”

From the 2015 ABC series episode Bear Left then Bear Write:

"I got to dump this possum I've been seeing. He's disgusting... not 'cause he's a possum. Because he's in advertising."

"Oh, yeah, sure. It's always, "where's Kermit? Where's Kermit?" It's never, "hey, Yolanda, how's them night classes going to become an ultrasound technician?" Pfft! Yeah. I got a "B" average, you know!"

From the 2015 ABC series episode Pig Out:

"At one point, he was sitting on my lap. It was fantastic. Wha... I couldn't breathe, but it was fantastic."

"Oi! Oh, I got a pounder. Hey, Kermit, be a hero. Hmm? Get me an 1/8 of an advil, will you?"

From the 2015 ABC series episode A Tail of Two Piggies:

"Where else am I gonna find a job where I can take an hour-long nap every day and they don't mind?"

brOTP: Miss Piggy, Annie Sue Pig, Janice, Camilla the Chicken, Gonzo, Sweetums, Angel Marie, Big Mean Carl, Bobo the Bear, Clifford, Buba.

OTP: Rizzo the Rat, Pepe the King Prawn.

nOTP: Sal Minella.

Random Headcanon: She becamed a secretary in the hopes of later becoming a rich executive like the main character of the movie Working Girl, but instead the harsh economic reality hitted her hard.

Unpopular Opinion: I think the writers of the 2015 ABC series should have taken the oportunity of developing a friendship dynamic between her, Miss Piggy and Janice, taking influence from Muppets Take Manhattan, instead of always keeping them separate and only giving a dynamic of employees and boss to them.

Songs I Associate With Them:

Cooking Song

Somebody's Getting Married

Favorite Picture of Them:
