I still don’t think it’s as set in stone as people are saying. Hasn’t been that multiple sources are colliding on this?

Define “set in stone” because I believe “MI replaces MV” is etched in granite but I suppose they could always throw out the granite if things go nuclear. I don’t think we’ve reached that level, though. It’s a very niche group of fans who are angry.

Do you think we get new concept art to accompany the announcement?

They’ll just include the correct drawing and not the AC one…probably with some vague statement like, “don’t worry, Muppet fans! We have future plans to announce featuring the Muppets!”
I don’t think it is for certian that MI is going in MV, and that there is a very real possibility it goes in AC, not just some “if it goes nuclear”.

Well, permits will be filed very soon that will make things quite clear.

I’m pretty sure the fact he tweeted that when all this is happening makes it clear he’s talking about MuppetVision.

Why didn’t he care when they yanked it out of DCA? I presume he goes to DL more.
When is “very soon”? You are all very vague about this. I’m not saying muppetvision won’t close, just people might be off.

DL wasn't the original. The fact there's an outcry over this is because it's the original, it's Jim Henson's final project.

Talked to Scott Gustin yesterday as we recorded another episode for my podcast. The new episode will go live likely Saturday morning.
But he did mention something that I haven't heard yet. He did hear that somebody in the know was kicking around ideas rerouting the entrance for Muppets and they would have to build back behind it. I'm paraphrasing here, but maybe it's something they are wrestling with.
But Scott admitted they don't know how "Disney" can do it, if there is even space to do it.

Steve wasn’t vague when he said “by the end of August.”
Gives me hope. This is what I mean. Not out of the realm of possibility. I don’t think we know the fully story yet.

That would be to keep it open longer while construction commences behind it. It could keep MV open through the end of 2025 but I don’t believe any longer.

That's not exactly saving MV, so not sure why they would do that.
We also talked that the 2nd image was more generic and likely wasn't tied into Animation Courtyard. It was just showing what it would look like in any setting.
I think about how in the mid 2000s amusement parks had 4-D movies because of gimmicks like shaking seats and spewing water. MV is more extra dimensional than every other one of these shows because it has what, 3 AAs (?) and an actor on top of the bubbles and other in-theater effects. All of these elements are needed for the movie to actually work.

@marni1971 do you happen to have a map of the current DHS expansion pads, including some of the ideas they have tossed around over the years like expanding across the street?

I’ve heard a rumor for the longest time (not from Scott) that TWDC is legally required to keep one Muppets attraction at WDW? Is there any truth to this?
What did he mean by “rerouting the entrance and building behind it”? That is kinda gauge, and where else would it go? Do you mean the “exit”?
