Jim Henson's Muppet Vision 3-D 10 minute pre-show Show Length: 15 minutes After entering the theater, guests are given 3-D glasses for the show. The pre-show goes on continuously and is very funny if you are lucky enough to catch the whole show (Rizzo Rat tricks Sam Eagle into thinking he is Mickey Mouse). Once in the theater, Kermit the Frog is your "guide" through the Muppet Laboratories. Although Kermit promises not to stoop to "cheap 3-D effects", it is inevitable including a thrown pie, blown bubbles, and many others. Miss Piggy has a short musical number and Sam Eagle prepares a two and a half hour tribute to "all nations, but mostly America" (he is then told he has two minutes). The tribute is interrupted when a fight breaks out with the Swedish Chef which leads to the theater being "blown up." This show is one of my personal favorites and shouldn't be missed by anybody. |

| Studio Backlot Tour Tour Length: 35 Minutes The tour starts with a demonstration on the creation of storm scenes in movies (audience participation is requested). Next, visitors are loaded onto trams (sit on the right if you don't want to get wet) and are driven past sights including the homes from Golden Girls and Empty Nest (Interesting fact - The homes are only partial structures, shown later in the tour). Next stop on the tour is Catastrophe Canyon - the highlight of the tour - where the Canyon is set on fire (those sitting on the left will get wet and be closest to the flames) and then is put out, showing how filmmakers create disaster scenes. Afterwards, the tram drives by New York Street to demonstrate the illusion of a three-dimensional street with a one-dimensional set. |
