Muppet Mobile Labs

A place to be entertained. Videos, jokes, games, and more.
Forum rules
At the old Disney Hyperion Studio, the screening room where animators would show animated scenes to Walt for his approval was small, with no ventilation or AC. Not only was it hot, but the animators were nervously awaiting Walt's reaction to their work. Thus, the room became known as the Sweatbox. Even after the Studio moved to Burbank and elegant screening rooms were offered to the staff, the moniker remained.

Now SGT has a sweatbox of our own. This is the place to find and post all entertaining topics such as video links, jokes, games, and the like. A general rule of thumb is that if the thread is meant to be informative (interesting news stories for example), or a topic for discussion (like setting up a park meet) then it should go in the Break Room, but if the intent is to entertain the masses then it's home is The Sweatbox. I'm sure there will be grey areas at times, so if you have doubt as to where a new thread should go, just use your best judgement and the SGT Staff will be glad to move it later if you guessed wrong.

anyone know how many people does it take to operate this?
on stage and off. I think it's just like a 3d rolling version of the Crush attraction. I mostly see just 2 CMS on stage, but I think thats just to guard the MML from guests playing or getting in the way of it. I think Lucky took 3 people, 2 on stage and one off stage.

Unfortunately, no. Its either at Tokyo Disneyland or Hong Kong Disneyland now.

Though at the Muppets presentation at the D23 Expo, it was mentioned that WDI is working on another Mobile Muppet project.

I haven't heard anything else since then, but we all know how tight-lipped Imagineering is...
