DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Very into Zootopia if it means a new attraction that isnt the trackless system from shanghai? Maybe another EMV? Dinosaur ride system is my fav haha.

Nah, they filled that quota with the ToL commit.

It’s wild that Disney made a movie in 2011 about the Muppets trying to save their theater from demolition

They're trying everything.

But why?? If there’s already a show coming to DAK, what’s the point?? Talk about lack of variety in park themes & offerings. Lame. They seriously need to reconsider and I hope they do. Stupid idea if they genuinely wanna do this with an attraction already going to DAK. Only way I could consider that a positive is if the DAK show is canned and something more fitting or original and well thought goes in there.

It may be mentioned in the 40 something pages, but in regards to this replacing Grand Avenue, why would Disney waste money building a new, permanent Coke stand to tear it down so soon after?

Not to mention Country Bears now have Zootopia as well

I don’t doubt you have sources, but I cannot fathom how anyone in Disney could justify TSL, MI, and Zootopia all in the same park. At that point, you’d be better off renaming the park Pixar Studios instead of Hollywood Studios. That’s simply too much saturation for a property that isn’t super popular in the US compared to China.

Zootopia is not Pixar.

Thinking about how it makes sense that the Studio One Store and Christmas store never reopened and the only thing back there is Mama Melrose.

 

[JustInTime]

My fear is Sci Fi Dine in gets replaced with Harryhausen’s. That’s a bigger blow than Muppets to me.

The concept art looks to me like it’s taken from the POV of the purple circle. Harryhausen’s would be blue (sci fi) and the door coaster would be the red.

If only the thing they were “trying” was the expand the parks instead of replacing things all the time.

(Yes I get the reference for Zootopia)

 

[dmc493]

This was a truly depressing 23 pages of forum to catch up on this evening. And I haven't gotten to Cars/ROA thread yet

 

[bmr1591]

Zootopia is not Pixar.

Fair, but same aesthetic.

I was thinking this - I think that will sit outside of the land, or if within, can be easily rethemed.

My question is - what happens to Grand Avenue? Is it just Baseline and the Coke stand? Or does that get absorbed? Disney has been putting a focus on transitions to lands, and I can’t think of a way that you can transition from Echo Lake to Monstropolis in that short space

Nah, they filled that quota with the ToL commit.

Because IPs can't exist in two parks? Especially an IP with one, and come next year, two billion dollar films?

Zootropolis isn't Pixar. Pure WDAS blood in that there film!

Little did we know this whole time the Muppets were just Monsters trying to capture laugh energy (There are worse backstories for an attraction)

“Kermit the frog visited monstropolis when he was a kid”

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

Ya know.. something that could possibly be a net positive that I (and I’m sure a number of folks) could accept if done. If they strictly kept Muppet•Vision 3D in the Magic Eye Theatre with a little tribute exhibit to Jim Henson in the theatre lobby area and brought the original 83-98 Journey Into Imagination ride back with tech & spfx enhancements. No sneaky tactics like they did with Honey I Shrunk the Audience to close & retheme the ride to the theme of the 4D movie in ‘99, anytime in the future. I could absolutely get behind that concept.

If they could have Captain EO there in 86-93 with no problems, I would think they could with Muppet•Vision similarly. But yeah.

I would be for this - they could even update it and have Figment instead of Waldo - with some very fun added comments from gonzo.

Muppets could even be incorporated into the new figment ride…. Hey I would take that.

They're trying everything.

Why not do that first and then monsters - just for operations / capacity? At least then they would have potentially have a new - no height family ride before they close muppets.

Remember this

8 Years Later: Streets of America Facade Demolition Continues at Disney's Hollywood Studios

Some eight years after it first began, demolition of the former Streets of America facades now continues at Disney's Hollywood Studios

blogmickey.com

Unrelated to the main topic, but am I the only one that finds it creepy that there were just abandoned formerly on stage facades just living backstage?

It’s so strange how there’s just sections of studios that were part of the park but are now back of house and vice versa. But I digress

 

[EPICOT]

So you would have to walk through Monstropolis to get to Galaxy's Edge? Seems kind of random.

I think the IP lands park format works best when the main entrance to each land is from some sort of neutral central land, essentially like how Epic Universe will be.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

This turned terrible in the course of 24 hours. Keep the Muppets where they are!
