I use cameras quite often.

I know I've just been talking about Muppets a lot, but One Piece has been really good recently, and I just want to cash in my prediction that the One Piece is the Mother Flame. I want to do a whole deep dive on what limitless energy could mean for power struggles within government, how that ties to Luffy, why Roger laughed, and how fickle wars are in the face of easily procurable and sustainable resources when trade is conducted peacefully, but I fear it is too much and I will never make a video in time, so I'm just gonna leave it at that.

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

Got off the new Muppet Coaster earlier and I can't believe the story is they canonically moved across the park from Muppet Vision 3D to G Force records. All the gags related to MV3D AND BEYOND are pretty good and done tastefully. I have so many thoughts but I need to ride again

Here's another edition of "Muppets Day Out!" , today featuring Kermit and Robin at Hollywood Studios to celebrate the opening of the new rendition of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster!

Now I need to know the new background music loop for the Rock n' Roller Coaster courtyard. wdym Famous Last Words is on there.

[weepingneo]

Welp, I made a playlist for it the other day. I can't believe it's filled with bangers.

HOW IS THAT AN ANIMATRONIC. THAT'S JUST SCOOTER. HE LOOKS SO GOOD

[weepingneo]

[weepingneo]

I just realized this is probably a recording of the show that's gonna play above photo pass 💀

edit: if you didn't see the repost, I'm pretty sure they aren't :(

[weepingneo]

I can't stop thinking about the Muppets, so I wanted to post what I think are some good song covers to put over the new Muppets overlay of Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster! My top pick is a song that the Electric Mayhem have covered already, and that's Rock and Roll All Nite by KISS!

Some other picks I think would be good are:

-Rock On! by the Electric Mayhem themselves, which was the intro song to the recent Muppets Mayhem series on Disney+

-Rock and Roll by Led Zeppelin

-A mash up of It's a Long Way to the Top + Highway to Hell by ACDC! (concept video below)

Today I'm starting a series of pictures I'm gonna call, "Muppets Day Out!" A collection of screen-caps from Muppet Productions, with what the locations from each given production look like in the modern(ish) day! The first location being the Rivers of America at WDW, with Kermit and Fozzie talking in front of the Liberty Belle!

Photo taken by me!

Goodbye to the Dinosaur ride at Animal Kindgom. I wonder what Dr. Seeker did with that dino.

[weepingneo]

did... did they just make a perfect modern continuation of The Muppet Show...?

Feeling a bit sentimental today so here are some more photos I've taken at Dinoland USA in Disney's Animal Kingdom before it becomes extinct later tonight.

One of the most unique theme park lands out there that demonstrated tons of creativity to fit the themes of Animal Kingdom, how we can be changed by the nature that surrounds us. This land is filled with architecture that contradicts the design philosophy of the rest of the park, where structures exist to be subordinate to nature or live in harmony alongside it, yet the land based in Diggs County, USA, features a more manufactured landscape.

Paleontologists constructing a dig site, a storied group of scientists who host an institute of dinosaur research, and a roadside carnival built to capitalize off their efforts encapsulated many of the stories that represent the country it is based off of, as was the goal with the other nations featured in the theme park as well.

It was one of my favorites, and it was a pretty cool place to be.

Pictures I took heading to the Iron Lung premiere at a local theater, captured on my Nintendo 3DS. Posted in chronological order.

I had never been to this empty mall's movie theater prior to this, and knew I needed someway to document what I might've found, but I didn't know the photos would come out like this. The escalators and elevators were broken and haven't received maintenance, most likely since the last time I ventured into the mall, which was around 2 years ago. So in order to enter the theater I needed to exit through the side of the mall and proceed to walk up the nearby parking garage's stairwell, then head back into the mall via the third floor entrance. To my surprise, the screening was packed, so a lot of other people must've made the trek too.

It was well worth it, the theater itself had a retro 90's vibe, the tickets weren't that expensive, and I thought the movie was pretty good! The last two pics not shot on my 3DS, of course.
