DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[vikescaper]

Y’all forgetting the most important aspects of the last few hours

PizzeRizzo lives.

Long live PizzeRizzo!

 

[Erdago]

who remembers pizza planet? Late 2000’s- early-mid 2010’s wdw gang!

I remember it existing, thought I never actually went there. Incidentally, I’ve never been to PizzeRizzo. Maybe it’s just the New Yorker in me being too much into NYC Pizza to bother with it.

An office behind RnRc is most likely also behind animation courtyard. That backstage space is all one piece. The area of the park you’re “behind” depends on which direction you’re facing

I’m glad I’ll get to have an “appreciating it knowing it won’t be around forever” visit to muppetvision. I never got one for og bears, and I will forever be sad about it.

PizzeRizzo is definitely not New York-style pizza. It’s inedible.

 

[Advisable Joseph]

It makes me wonder if they’re going to use that circular-ish plot of land?

And @Moth

I think that's preservation space.

 

[dreamfinding]

Mmmm…rat pizza…

Live look in the PizzeRizzo kitchen

It was cool as a kid. Aah, that time period of wdw. Potc mist screens, big blue hats, Star Wars weekends, and the electric umbrella baby!

Yeah, because they're required to keep parts of the land green.

Is there a good map that shows what land is what? I wanna keep it handy for future use. I remember seeing one flying around when they were trying to get approval for something, forgot what...

 

[Streetway]

remember when star tours and the seas with Nemo had actual LINES?

 

[Streetway]

Alright, let’s get on topic. So we all agree this is going to be the coolest thing ever again now?

 

[SCOTLORR]

Sorry if this has been alluded to already, but if this is indeed going in AC, is there a plan to connect it to sunset blvd to remove the dead end?

 

[Streetway]

Also with the rumors about rnrc and MV3d staying, it’ll be nice to have old mgm for a bit longer. I think it’s time is drawing near, but at least it’s being eased into.

That´s right. I think it is behind animation courtyard. He said his office was behind RnRc, facing Tower of Terror.

I don't know what to believe anymore lol. I've been told AC was "next" for years now. I also knew that they were eyeballing Muppets, but always felt like it would come later on, due to its capacity and the park's lack of toddler friendly rides (which Monster's Inc, probably rightfully so, won't help much).

Here's hoping they made the right call. Zootopia, The Simpsons, or another IP can easily find a place in the park. Monster's is very unlikely to use all of the AC, post-Sunset footprint. There's a good amount of room behind the aged Beauty and the Beast show, which has its fans, but still has a solid presence at MK. Indy is expensive and a very large space. They could also finally build a parking garage and build in the current cast lot, with the right planning.

I still agree that Muppets is on borrowed time, if it is indeed AC, this was absolutely a villainous test. Also, a reminder and wake-up call. They, for better (door coaster) or worse (GMR removal) don't let go of ideas. It'll get looked at again, probably for something even more innocent and height friendly (or just more Star Wars).

Don’t get too excited

Which is wild that we are talking about a land being built and open ten plus years from now being competition to a land opening in 9 months as a part of an entirely new theme park.

In reality. Cars and villians will be up against Pokemon/Zelda/something else.

They did state construction will start in 2025 for both Monsters inc and Cars… anything can happen to cause delays… but at this moment I am thinking they are planning to have something new every year….the lounges, night parade, and Test Track 3.0 in 25…. Mando and Grogo mission on smuggler as well as new Zootopia show in 26….Tropical Americas in 27…..I am guessing Monster Inc in 28 and Cars Land in 29…. I feel even though it was said everything would be completed in 5 years.., Villains land is really thought of more as a 2030 project at this stage… I believe it will happen at some point, but Villains is the area I am least confident it will makes it’s time frame…,I don’t think they have any type of attractions nailed down yet for that area… The concept art showed 2 areas with coasters… I don’t see Disney building 2 new coasters in a single new land… but time will tell

For the time we have left, I pitch this: put Jim hensons name back in the title of the ride

Disney doesn’t own “Jim Henson” they own “the muppets” - so it’s a bit tricky. Would be nice if they added a little tribute somewhere - Frank Oz is now a Disney legend so they could mention that too.

I feel even though it was said everything would be completed in 5 years.

What was the actual quote?

 

[V_L_Raptor]

This has been a day.

I have never seen this amount of conflicting information in regards to a location for a whole land that "already has dirt moving". Disney wouldn't lie to us about dirt already moving, right?

I guess if the wind moves the dirt I guess it's moving...

Because now, somehow again, some words are saying Animation, majority are saying Muppets, one is doing backflips and saying it's some other NEW BUILD expansion plot (WORDS OF THE DERANGED???) Because now I'm here going 'what the heck guys?' because I don't even think Disney knows where it's going!


Want my five cents? They're slipping different answers to different people, since they KNOW it'll end up appearing in the wild, and gauging reaction.

But that doesn't make sense, if they announced it with construction starting next year, why are they still deciding where to build?! Is Disney relying on people panic-buying Muppets merch to fund this?


I wish I liked the taste of alcohol because otherwise I'd be drinking.

Backtracking 100% Muppet odds but I'm hedging it at 80/20 currently in favor of Muppets being removed from Studios. I feel we're getting official word by end of the month regardless.

Just in time, say, for the Muppets’ 70th anniversary. Josh and crew are really getting ready to knock this one out of the park.

ETA: I don’t trust everything is smoothed out yet. Disney’s judgment is generally poor lately.

What the square footage of the office space at the former animation building compared to the square footage of the Starcruiser?
