DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[easyrowrdw]

The show they may move them to will need to be redone anyway, so the calculus is different.

That theater by RnRC is so sparsely attended that I can’t see them paying to put anything else there. It’s remarkable we got that amazing Lightning McQueen AA.

It's a bit more than just a theater with some simple overlays. There's built in tech all over the theater. To relocate this show to a new building would cost millions. My guess would be 30-50 million all said and done.

TLDR: If they take the show out, it's gone forever.

Have they considered just putting the Muppets theater on a flatbed and just driving it somewhere else? I’m pretty sure I’ve that kinda thing on the History Channel.

COUNTRY BEAR HALL HAS BEEN CRUSHED!

Is there going to be a second ride in this land? Maybe Ride and Go Seek from Tokyo?

Is there going to be a second ride in this land?

You'd think. If not, Disney's definition of a "land" is concerning. Take that Universal!

 

[erasure fan1]

If you're going to eliminate a fan-favorite attraction, let people know in the presentation

Even the misfits that are running things at Disney aren't that dumb. I agree that being up front with your plans is the right way. But if they said, muppets, rivers of America and Tom Sawyer Island were being deep sixed. I can almost guarantee there would be a very bad reaction during the presentation and they knew it. They wanted the, look at all the amazing stuff Disney is doing! headlines.

Muppetvision is going to die eventually. If it doesn't die for Monsters now it's going to die for Incredibles, Zootopia, Star Wars expansion, whatever down the road. We all know it deep down.

If this is it I'll be sad but at least this Monsters concept is so cool it can be a worthy replacement. The one thing, however, is they need find Muppets a new place for a new show as soon as possible if MV is going. If not they deserve as much anger as they will get.

Honestly if they can come up with some half-baked reason the Monsters are in Tomorrowland, surely they could come up with a way to explain why the Muppets would be in Monstropolis. There's tons of crossover - Sweetums is a Monster, Frank Oz is in Monsters Inc, Steve Buscemi is basically a Muppet..

It'd likely be at the edge of the land. Just put a door facade at the front and say it's a door that leads to the Muppets

Though I'd rather them just put a new show there at that point.

There should be, but all signs point to no. Maybe there will be a playground.

One person on twitter said there would be a show too but I haven’t seen any corroboration so probably not

Picture the Muppets logo but with a Monsters "M" .A land where they coexist

That's an interesting take. I kinda like it in its scary simplicity.

See I totally disagree. If the idea is that they “need” to have Muppets somewhere then it’s pretty idiotic IMHO to remove MV. Because then you are just spending money shuffling deck chairs. If you are determined to keep Muppets, then keep what you have and put Monsters somewhere else and save that money and hassle (downtime, etc). No reason to be more disruptive than you have to be.

Any indication they would repurpose the Muppets theater and make a Monsters show of it? A relocated Laugh Floor — which has nothing to do with Tomorrowland anyway? In the concept art, it does still look like a brick building is to the right of the HQ building. Harryhausen could go where PizzeRizzo is. Would love for the land to be more than just one attraction if it’s to be a proper land

 

[DavidDL]

I know it will never, ever happen but I wish they would just move Muppet*Vision 3D next to Rock n' Roller Coaster and re-theme the coaster to Electric Mayhem, turning that whole area into a new Muppets Courtyard type of area. I say this has a huge fan of Rock n' Roller Coaster, too. Electric Mayhem doing covers of popular rock songs (including Aerosmith) is the perfect way to expand the musical selection while also insulating the attraction from any potential "real world" unpleasantness band members may get themselves into, just enough.

Assuming the fountain gets moved, too, the only thing really lost in the process would be, what? PizzeRizzo? There was a Muppet shop but I don't believe they open it for anything other than special events anymore and stuff like the props inside could certainly be moved, as well.

A man can dream.

And don't forget the giant elephant in the room. Does anyone think that Disney, and their extremely lackluster handling of the Muppets, could come ANYWHERE close to what Henson did? For most muppet fans I know and talk to, muppet vision is absolutely as classic as anything that's come before it. I have less than zero faith in Disney, to not to jack it up.

If we got all worked up for nothing, it will be very funny.

What I personally want is not what the reality is, and that really shouldn't be conflicted. Even on page 1 I said I didn't want them to remove Muppets for this.

You have to think in terms of an executive thinking of the GP, not us. To them this is a show that was filmed during the Cold War, one that has lived out its life. They think GP would see it as old and that a "replacement" show would be received well and can be promoted as a new attraction that gets another 25 years out of Muppets. Meanwhile they put a full coaster in an prime area that would very much excite GP and even serious park fans, with both getting more attendance and LL, to them that's worth the shuffling, downtime and investment. They also actually can make a good new ride contrary to belief, Great Moments in American History showed that. And we'd deserve that at minimum.

If I chose MV would never leave. It's as perfect of a Muppets attraction as you will ever get, it and TOT are the jewels of DHS imo. But reality is it's going to go for something, and stopping this now will just stall that a few years. At least that isn't taking it away for a pile of dirt with some trucks with dumb googly eyes attached. I'm just saying it bluntly, because it's going to go now or later on, even if we don't want it to.

Pain is temporary; Muppets are forever.

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

It would be a sigh of relief because the only reason anyone is all worked up is from how Cars didn't have a location other than saying reimagine of frontier and two days later the truth got released thrown out so Monster's Land is in same bag except a bit worse because we see two concept arts in two different locations.

I just want a new muppets attraction as the replacement. I hope the hall of presidents happens but even then I’m not so sure if it happens.
