Kermit the Frog Hot Air Balloon Coming Down

It looks like due to the view from the under construction Star Wars Land in Hollywood Studios that the Kermit the Frog Hot Air Balloon that has been atop the Muppets 3D attraction for 26 years will be removed.  Sources state that it is being removed due to the fact that it will be visible from the new Star Wars Land once it is completed.

There is no word from Disney on whether this landmark will be situated anywhere else in Disneyworld.
