DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Streetway]

What do you mean? Kermit and James P Sullivan came up with an agreement. Muppet theater still stands and the monsters get the laughter from the theater, both win!

See, the Monster designs from Monsters Inc are very Jim Henson influenced, I believe we can have a GASP.... THEMED LAND versus a strictly series-based land that has both Muppets and Monsters.

But this is Iger's Disney, it's either single IP lands or get out.

I’d be down, but if they built it where the shop is now, how would people get out of that skinny pathway? Also what’d they call it, comedy courtyard?

I was thinking "Oddity Ave" or "Laughter Lane" but "Comedy Courtyard" sounds cute

Tbh if their deadset on monsters for muppets, put a new muppets ride In Indy’s place. Heck, use the ride and go seek system if they want something to attract more people! Make it a studio tour through the muppet lot!

Imagine:
“Yes we’re closing muppetvision 3D, but we’re building something even bigger for the muppets”

I don’t think the Muppets are nearly popular enough for a big ride. We’d be lucky to get a rethemed Cosmic Rizzo’s Moonlight Cafe.

I feel like with a crowd pleasing ride system (ride and go seek) it could draw people based on pure fun factor

thats what I was hoping for (even the lesser version from dca),,,well along with the coaster it would have been a nice balance.

 

[doctornick]

maybe theyll incorporate monsters into the back end of muppets and have a combo land??? i could see muppets and monsters coexisting in harmony

Okay, if they build Monsters in the parking lot behind the current stuff and keep MV, I'd retract my opposition to that general location.

That’s true…but TRON isn’t exactly something with a large fan base either. It’s still IP. If they do anything right, people will enjoy it. They seem to forget that though and just think shoving IP in anything makes it good. Looking at you Tiana

If this is is replacing Muppets, it's sort of sick that they chose to end the parks panel with Rainbow Connection.

 

[billem]

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

I'm no expert on what generations do or do not love the Muppets. What I can say is that I am Gen-X and I love the Muppets. I also know that others of my generations are fond of the Muppets.

I literally turned to my wife and said this the second it started playing

MMRR eliminated the TGMR 40" height requirement

Movie Ride didn’t have a height requirement did it?

I know it's looking increasingly more delusional (especially given the ROA news) to believe this is going in Animation Courtyard, but I have to hold out hope.

Fiscally I understand the office reasoning, but the animation courtyard is such an absolutely horrendous black hole in the center of that park it is beyond baffling that they wouldn't just fill that first before exploring outside of it. And The Muppets courtyard is just so small for what a Monstropolis should even deserve to begin with.

I am not flinching. The muppets will live on. But lord mv3d needs to move STAT

Oops it didn’t. Bad search by me.

You had me for a minute! I didn’t ride it as a kid and I don’t have kids so I wouldn’t have had a reason to know if it did or didn’t but I was like…. Why? It was more tame than mickeys haha.

So they're getting rid of the Muppets after all? Dang it, why is there always a string attached?

Then can someone please explain to me what they are going to do with the ghost town that is Animation Courtyard. lol.

They probably consider Launch Bay sacred because anything Star Wars in the parks is sacred in their eyes.

I mean, you even consider the timing of when they’ve awarded Mark Henn & Joe Rohde aswell. I believe it’s to shut them up in regards to complaining about the latest/current state of the animation studio & imagineering aswell.

They did try to bribe Steve Whitmire into not revealing that they'd fired him by offering him a Disney Legends award, so that's a distinct possibility.

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

Zootopia in Hollywood Studios would be bad enough (especially when it's already going into Animal Kingdom), but the thought of the Simpsons in Disney World makes my skin crawl.

Have I ever mentioned how much I hate Bob Iger?

I'm honestly trying to think of examples of WDW moving an attraction around WDW. The only one I can think of was FotLK which is much more popular than Laugh Floor. Its a very common idea on this forum, but does it ever happen?

Magic Journeys moved from EPCOT to the Magic Kingdom.

They moved the Frozen sing a long from the old (gone) Premiere theater to the current location.

For more concrete rides, they’ve moved Dumbo to the circus
