NEW ‘Muppets Haunted Mansion’ Exhibit is NOW at Disneyland Resort
Earlier today, the OC Register shared some awesome news about a NEW exhibit that is coming to Disneyland featuring the Muppets!
This new offering will provide a behind-the-scenes peek at the puppeteering process that was used in Muppets Haunted Mansion which debuted this week on Disney+.
Starting today, you’ll be able to see Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and the Great Gonzo like you’ve never seen them before. The Muppets Haunted Mansion exhibit can be found in the lobby of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln at Disneyland theme park.
In the special, the Great Gonzo tackles the hair-raising challenge of spending Halloween night at the Haunted Mansion.
For Disneyland regulars, you’ll know that there is already a Haunted Mansion exhibit in the foyer of Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. However, new props and set pieces from Muppets Haunted Mansion definitely make it something you’ll want to experience all over again.
One of the coolest things about this exhibit is that it provides a behind-the-scenes look at the incredible puppeteering that brings the Halloween special to life.
Also be on the lookout for several set pieces from the movie include those from a seance scene that will feature Imagineerings Kim Irvine.
Other items include a funeral wreath and tiny coffins intended for Gonzo and Pepe the King Prawn from a mock funereal scene in the film. including a muppetized hearse.
According to the OC Register, the idea for the Disneyland exhibit was hatched on the film set during Irvine’s celebrity cameo appearance. “When I was on set filming, what I loved so much was just meeting all of the characters for the first time in person,” Irvine said. “To be able to interact with the Muppets in that way was just a real treat.”
Irvine told the Register that she had the opportunity to go through all the screen-used props and set pieces in the Muppets Studio warehouse
In addition to Muppets Haunted Mansion Disneyland fans can also check out your favorite Muppets at this Holiday season. Kermit, Miss Piggy and other familiar faces will be in a special coach for Christmas signing carols for Merriest Nites- a new after hours even coming to Disneyland in December.
