DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Tha Realest]

The strongest concept I've heard is "Muppets American History" to replace Hall of Presidents. That checks a lot of boxes:

• It's an IP Disney owns
• Half the country hates HOP at any given moment in time
• HOP is the lowest-rated attraction in WDW for several guest demographics
• The current HOP really has no "here's where we go from here" opportunities. They're not going to turn it into a musical. It's just not a subject that a lot of people care about enough to see.

Plus, the Muppets are viewed as largely apolitical by most Americans. They could tell the good parts and the bad parts (and avoid others entirely) in a way that most people would enjoy.

Replace an attraction because people hate all the recent Boomer presidents with an IP only fondly loved by Boomers. Makes sense.

Courtyard is earmarked for development in the future, but as it stands right now, for some ungodly reason despite all common sense and logic, they decided Muppets would be the place to put this.

Wasn't the $60bil supposed to INCREASE capacity?

 

[Horizonsfan]

But what exactly would MV3D be? The coaster would have to be built in the cast parking lot.

Is there a second unannounced attraction for Monstropolis?

Extremely disappointing news regardless if this comes to pass.

If they are putting this on that end of the park, I'm really curious to know what they are saving Animation Courtyard for.

I guess once Incredibles 3 hits $1.5B they'll make an Incredibles land over there.

idk. I hope the hall of presidents muppets replacement pulls through tho. I hope imagineering knows how beloved muppets are and how beloved MV3D was. I knew in my heart this was coming eventually.

this is the problem I’m having with all of this right now. Even moreso at Animal Kingdom where they will get no net new rides

I love Hall of Presidents, but it’s literally impossible to sit through it in reverence anymore. Some schlub or other in the audience always has to shout out something inappropriate.

Well the question is what is the actual average capacity usage of MV3D vs. a new rollercoaster?

I'm all ok with this if there is a plan for the park as a whole. But we know how Disney likes abandoning plans. Can't wait for the next CEO to cancel everything.

 

[Streetway]

Some of my favorite attractions at wdw were splash, original CBJ, and muppetvision. Am I death?

Technically, Encanto is a brand new ride. Primeval Whirl has been gone for years.

The new carousel trades with spin.

Ding ding ding

There’s a Monsters Inc show in another park already that could be fairly easily be transported over.

You know, I don't know what the age/demographic ratings are for Muppets. Let me see if I can find that. Good point.

Encanto, cauosel , Indy
replacing
Dinosaur, spinner, primeval (which was removed and boarded up because they knew something was replacing it)

No net new attractions in that area.

 

[Moth]

Courtyard is looking to be saved for one of these two IPs.

There’s also the possibility that it’s not the only attraction. Laugh Floor makes too much sense, though I know that would leave Tomorrowland even more empty.

Steve indicated the likelihood of any attractions being “moved” is low. Plus, is Laugh Floor really that well received? It’s always struck me as a tepid time-filler.

i sorley hope this hall of presidents plan pulls through.

Zootopia and ???

Zootopia and ???

I’m thinking Simpsons, but I would hope not.

I'd take Zooptopia over Simpsons. It doesn't belong at Disney parks.
