Muppet Mobile Labs...?

[Jaffa]

I saw online at a Muppet site, that they had in 2007 a Muppet Mobile Lab featuring Dr. Bunson Honeydew and Beaker with a mobile live interaction.

Does anyone know anything about this?

has anyone seen it?

I think it was only in California, any ideas or info if it's coming to Florida?

Long gone, I'm sorry to say.

Long gone?!?!?

didn't have much of a shelf life eh?

My impression from what I've read here and there is that these Living Character Initiative characters (like the Muppet Mobile Lab and Lucky the Dinosaur) are still at the point where they require a lot of work to operate and maintain. So their tenure at the parks is more of an experiment than anything. Maybe someday, when more of the issues surrounding these characters are worked out by the Imagineers, we'll see them become park mainstays.

Yup.

Right now you can find some much "lower-tech cousins" in operation every day at WDW.

We got to see it at EPCOT around the area of Imagination. I probably have a picture of it somewhere...but who knows where! Very cute and too bad it's not around anymore.

After a brief stint at DCA, the Muppet Mobile Lab appeared in Epcot for about six weeks in July and August 2007. It is now located at Hong Kong Disneyland, where it's listed as an attraction on Main Street USA.

Here's a picture from when it was at Epcot.

if you want to know something neat about Muppets though, there is a note that says 'gone... key under the mat' if you look under the mat.... guess what's there! I just thought that was cool =)

Aw! I wish I could have seen that! Beaker is my favorite Muppet...although, he looks a little creepy here.

Yes, it came back about a year ago. It's a cute show.
