Yeah. It was a great overarching theme, but the theme park world was changing, and time was passing it by. I still felt more of it could’ve adapted, but still. Probably better long term than we instead are now living the movies.
I think the old slogan they used for Star tours “now the adventures are real” could be a killer tagline for this park

I think that is debatable on how it was handled. Because the park is struggling with attendance and Guest Satisfaction.

DHS needs more dark ride/boat/flume rides that are family friendly, especially families with little ones that don’t match the height requirement.

I think dhs already leans heavier on the thrills than most Disney parks. A monster inc coaster sounds exciting, but it doesn’t really add more inclusivity to the park

It could genuinely benefit with a monsters inc dark ride to accompany the monster inc land. Hop

Bingo. This is another reason why Muppets as a location is staying for now. Real estate relatively small. No height requirement and an easy people pleaser while people that have paid for their next genie plus and who have not enjoy and spend more money in the park.

If Muppets left. You only have Toy Story Mania, Swirling Saucers and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway as attractions with no height requirement. Often those kids under 40 inches are costing families 100 bucks a day or more to get into the gate.

Muppets hits all the audience quadrants and segmentation of accessibility with low cost and little downtime.


Also remember. Muppets being toast and Monsters being animation courtyard are not mutually exclusive. Muppets could go for another 3D theater show or indoor venue.

Not a done deal yet but still leaning towards MV annoyingly.

Good.

I mean, come on. The puppet theater is gonna disappear sooner or later. Again, it was removed from Disneyland and nobody shed a tear. (Where were you THEN, Josh Gad?)

The VAST majority of parkgoers will enjoy a Monsters Inc. Land more than they ever enjoyed the puppet theater.

(Again, I'd prefer Roger Rabbit as a replacement, but oh well...)

Honest question: who do we trust in this situation, because honestly I don’t know! We have Martin and Brayden saying muppets is toast, a bunch of other people and Alicia Stella saying it’s leaning towards ac, and Tom saying it’s always been AC. It’s an actual madhouse

Martin has always been reliable. When the rumor went out that the puppets were going to appear in Liberty Square (and there was quite a bit of pushback on that here), Martin said that there was some truth to it, and what do you know...

Vastly different audience and park that can't find its tone. And it was not the original. And Muppets was a part of a park that was and is still struggling while Philharmagic was a hit coming in.

Try to make it clear that all this is your opinion, not fact, okay?

Out of curiosity why doesn’t Disney just announce the location at d23 or a week later via press release like they did for cars land?

Does Disney internally not know where this is going or do they like playing footsies.
