The surviving Muppet-adjacent New York block, held under the placeholder name Muppets Courtyard, was completed as Grand Avenue, a Los Angeles-inspired district beside the Muppet theater.

Ace Ventura: Pet Detective - Live in Action opened as a comedy stunt show on the backlot, replacing the Muppet show nearly two years after it closed.
