DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[James Alucobond]

The only way it makes sense to me is if we’re looking at the land from opposite sides? The scare floor show building is large enough that I think it’s the ride building and the center of the land. One side of the land has the entrance to the factory and the Sulley slide (and I presume a whole playground) and the other side has the Harryhausen’s restaurant and market etc

But even then it’s still weird having the Harryhausen logo in two wildly different places in relation to the Scare Floor in each photo

In the claimed Grand Avenue image, the little water tower makes me think the background might actually be an adapted PizzeRizzo facade?

Let's remember that MuppetVision was painted grey as it is visible from SWGE... this show building will be much taller so would be extremely visible from within the land.

I also don't see them blocking off the main entrance of Galaxy's Edge for construction.

If that were Grand Avenue in the background, that whole area would be seeing major structural changes since only one building looks like the current Grand Avenue buildings. There's also not a water tower right there, where the sci-fi dine-in would be.

Looks like two very different pieces of art, but I'm placing my bet on Animation Courtyard for the above reasons.

I would question if One Man's Dream would empty out into this though.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

Holy smoke. I can't believe it.

 

[JustInTime]

Really hoping muppets stays. I can take or leave Star Tours.

 

[The Leader of the Club]

What if it’s actually replacing the Indy stunt show?

 

[disney fan 13]

Doesn’t really make sense to replace Muppets when they’re assumably trying to add capacity and the animation courtyard area is basically vacant.

My other wonder is if Laugh Floor could be moved here or just replaced outright.

The park doesn’t necessarily need more shows but it seems like the perfect move to put it here. If the land is going in Animation Courtyard it could replace Disney Junior.

And then you could put something actually Tomorrowland themed in the space in MK

There’s no way they touch RNRC after investing all that money in it.

Exactly this.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

This has GOT to be Animation Courtyard. It's right next to Toy Story Land, and the little Pixar area. It would make perfect sense. I know the concept art looks like Grand Ave, but that's just what Monstropolis looks like, even in the movie.

 

[Epcot82Guy]

This depends solely on location for me.

New build - A+
Expansion of Animation Court - A+
Off Sunset - A-
Replacing Star Tours - B- only because I do like the theme consistency
Replacing Muppets - D
Replacing both Muppets and Star Tours - F

It makes perfect sense to put it in AC, which is why Disney won’t put it there. They’re too dumb.

 

[doctornick]

One point about replacing MuppetVision and/or Star Tours is how that would make the LLMP even more difficult for DHS. They really can't afford to take choices off that inventory.

 

[Gusey]

Why it can't be Grand Avenue:

• You'd be able to see it from Galaxy's Edge
• The back of the building would be facing Echo Lake, wouldn't look good to have a big building in the middle of the park,
• The show building needs to be at the back of a land on the edge of the park, so you don't have to walk all the way around it

 

[MagicHappens1971]

I can’t imagine this going anywhere besides Animation Courtyard.

I really hope you’re right.

I also can’t believe the Door Coaster is going to be real and that it’s actually still going to WDW and not one of the foreign parks.

Two pieces of concept artwork with two different paths. One is clearly Animation Courtyard and the other is Muppet/Grand Avenue. Execs had both mocked up because it has been moved numerous times. Question is where did it land. This is them just using old concept art next to a new piece. Different times, different artists.

 

[cjkeating]

The 'Grand Avenue' concept art looks like something from when they may have considered turning MuppetVision into MILF for some unknown reason once upon a time.

The MV show building is just wayyyyy too small to fit in a coaster on the scale I'd expect this to be. Nevermind pre-show, queue line etc. So repurposing saves no money.

 

[doctornick]

I'll just put in my 2 cents that I think they should keep the VOTLM building and Disney Jr and have this replace the footpring of the Animation building specifically. No reason not to keep the LM and Disney Jr shows around. If you tears down Launch Bay and the buildings behind it there is plenty of space to add Monstropolis (and connect it to the RNR area).

I would personally change the current Pixar Place to Walt Disney Presents to VOTLM/Disney Jr and have that be a "land" called Animation Avenue. Then has Monsters Inc be a new land next to it.

 

[JustInTime]

We should know soon regardless.
