The Great Muppet Movie Ride The Great Muppet Movie Ride is an abandoned concept for an attraction at ( what was then ) Disney - MGM Studios in Walt Disney World . The attraction , which was meant to parody the park ' s own Great Movie Ride , would have brought guests through a variety of set pieces in which attempted to recreate scenes from classic movies , such as " Frankenstein " and " Peter Pan " . Statler and Waldorf would have been seated in a cart alongside the guests and would experience misfortune based on the different scenes . An idea spoofing the snow scene in " Dr . Zhivago " would have seen Kermit the Frog and Miss Piggy in a plastic ball that ' s turned back and forth , while a - themed portion of the ride would feature horses making the sounds of galloping with coconuts tied to their hooves . Unlike the Great Movie Ride , which features scenes ( and behind - the - scenes ) loosely based on Hollywood movies , the Muppet version was conceived to explain the way movies are produced , with a typically Muppet spin . Speaking during the ride ' s development , Jim Henson explained , " It ' s the flip side of the rest of the Disney - MGM Studio , which tells you how movies are really made . We ' re doing it in the most stupid way possible , using lots of misinformation . " Plans for the ride , which would have complemented " Muppet * Vision 3D " in a new Muppet Studios section of the park , were abandoned after the merger between The Walt Disney Company and The Jim Henson Company fell apart .
