Details About New Grand Avenue Structure Revealed Thanks to Imagineering Permit

The new structure under construction on Grand Avenue in Disney’s Hollywood Studios is listed as the “Grand Avenue Coke Kiosk” in a Central Florida Tourism Oversight District database and Walt Disney Imagineering has filed a new permit for the kiosk.

The permit is for installing signage, which will be one of the final touches for the structure. Imagineering has hired Kentavo, a signage and graphics company that Imagineering also hired for Tiana’s Bayou Adventure.

The address on the permit corresponds to the “Grand Avenue Coke Kiosk” in a Central Florida Tourism Oversight District database. That said, the kiosk may not just sell Coke products and will likely sell snacks, too, but nothing has been confirmed.

Grand Avenue History

Muppet*Vision 3D entrance

Grand Avenue is home to Muppet*Vision 3D, which opened in 1991 as one of the first representations of the Muppets in Disney Parks, and the only permanent Muppets attraction since then. As production began on Muppet*Vision 3D, there was a tentative agreement for Disney to purchase the Jim Henson Company. However, Henson’s death in 1990 ended that agreement and delayed the attraction.

Disney did purchase the theme park rights to the Muppets and eventually purchased the property entirely in 2004.

Until 2016, Muppet*Vision 3D was part of the Streets of America. After the rest of the land was demolished, it was briefly known as Muppets Courtyard. The land was named Grand Avenue in 2017 with the opening of BaseLine Tap House and new city façades.

Muppet*Vision 3D received updated projection mapping, refreshed seats, and new entrance banners. The Miss Piggy fountain outside the show was refurbished around the same time.
