There have been other recent successful Muppets movies too (even if not everyone claims to like them), so there is still a fanbase there to support an attraction. The question will be whether or not they can rebuild a movie audience, or whether it should rebuild the fans through the Disney channel (or similar). The ride is probably safe in the short term, but not if they can't develop more interest in the franchise. Part of the problem with the Muppets, in my opinion, is that they were created for adults originally, but now are geared towards children without altering the personalities or the frequent appearances the children need to get attached to products/shows/franchises. I did and do still love the Muppets, but my 4 kids are hit and miss with them. They loved the show at DHS , but I had to make them go because they didn't really know who the Muppets were - and I own all 3 seasons of the TV show. Kids need awareness to become fans.
I agree, I am a muppets fan. I do know they have updated the preshow within the last year.
I think The Muppets getting an upgrade will really depend on the TV shows relaunch this fall, higher ratings will mean higher merchandising.
