Muppetville (concept)

Muppetville was a concept for a Muppet-themed amusement park first explored by Jim Henson around 1987. Artwork was commissioned and created by Kurt Hanks before the idea was eventually abandoned.E-mail correspondence with Kurt Hanks via Scott Hanson.
Henson dropped the idea, conceding that "Disney does it so well that we could never do it better."Jim Henson: The Biography by Brian Jay Jones (page 448)
==Disney version==
After entering into negotiations with the Walt Disney Company in 1989, Henson shifted his theme park aspirations into developing attractions for an entire Muppet-themed area within the Disney-MGM Studios theme park and planning a Muppet-themed take over of Disneyland in California. 
Other unrealized productions included the Here Come the Muppets and Muppet All-Star Motorcade parades, The Great Muppet Movie Ride, the Hard Luck Cafe, and The Great Gonzo's Pandemonium Pizza Parlor.
