DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

The sun will rise tomorrow.

This unfortunately came true.

This unfortunately came true.

I tend to prefer it when it does that.

Out of curiosity, what is the stance on Futurama here?

A star tours retheme would be wonderful

I'd be on board with this, but Futurama doesnt have the draw/fan base that Star Wars does. So, I wonder how popular it would be.

I’m sure Rise fares much better than it used to, but I recall that parking lot as the “ride broke down and we’re kicking you out of the queue” spot.

Just looking at the photo, that area appears to also provide service access for Mama Melrose.

Not necessarily. You could have working plans for both plots and only need a final decision to advance work.

That would either involve a lot of expense or not being very far in the design process, which is not unusual for announced Disney projects.

Slurm would sell better than the blue milk... there, I said it!

I know where Slurm comes from. No thank you.

It means guests are willing to wait 10 minutes to experience the attraction, currently. And willing to wait 9 times as much (90 minutes) for the Tower of Terror attraction. Tower of Terror is a shorter experience but with higher capacity per hour, so makes the 90 minute vs. 10 minute difference even more significant (people willing to wait longer on a ride that moved through people quicker and is ultimately a shorter-lived experience)

Im not a Muppets die-hard, but feels like a better fit for a smaller theater. If it doesn’t have as much mass appeal, it at least remains available for a more niche crowd that still wants to enjoy it

Again, you don't understand how the wait time for a theatre show works.

The higher the humidity, the more each degree matters.

For example, if you have a day with 60% humidity (the average in the afternoon for Orlando in August) and…

• 80° F, the real feel will be around 82°
• 85° F, the real feel will be around 90°
• 90° F, the real feel will be around 100°
• 95° F, the real feel will be around 114°

So, in your example, going from 90 to 95 will increase the temperature by 14° F. In no world is that nothing. In an area with 40% humidity that same jump from 90 to 95 would only feel 8° F warmer.

This is what everyone who wants to keep saying it’s only a few degrees keep missing, those few degrees can make a huge difference and the higher the humidity, the larger that difference gets.

Thanks Jim Cantore.

Summer is hot. Everywhere. Hotter in places than others. People are flocking to the beaches and cruises to guess where…Florida and the Caribbean where it’s even more humid and hotter at times.

Again, you don't understand how the wait time for a theatre show works.

And again, you don’t realize it doesn’t matter. It’s a measure of willingness to experience an attraction whether it’s a show, ride, or anything in between.

Muppets has one theater of 584 people and Flight of Passage has 4 theaters of 192 people each — people are willing to wait multiple times longer for the latter despite it moving through people much quicker. FOP is not just a walk on to the next available show like it is with Muppets…you are waiting for many shows to pass

I want to know what the rumored other option is for animation courtyard that has been mentioned in this thread numerous times??

I’m also curious if this does pan out that monsters inc does in animation area, will they finally find a way to connect the end of Sunset to that area so you don’t have to backtrack?

What you don't seem to be understanding is that the displayed wait time for a theatre show is completely meaningless. It doesn't tell you anything about how many guests are waiting for the show to start, it's literally just saying that there is a ten minute wait until the next show. Whether the lobby is packed full or completely empty, the wait time will show ten minutes, because that's when the next show will start.

I understand what you're trying to say, but it's not really an apt comparison. Nor is it good theme park operations to be constantly ripping out lower capacity passive experiences to be replaced by short e-tickets that always have a line. You have to have a balance.

That’s a good point, I think AC makes more sense for a lot of reasons for this project, but the report that they are nearly 50/50 internally on the location means this is pretty location agnostic - cost and function wise to them.

So really what could be driving this decision is not this project and feedback at all, but the net one, and if that one has to go somewhere for a specific reason.

Let's take a break from debating muppets for a moment.
1. Is there an actual difference in content inside the land between the two sites. For example does AC mean an additional ride, or MC mean extended Montropolis, etc? These are just examples, but do the two proposals differ in what will be included.
2. What are the actual confines of the land. Does MC also include tearing down Star Tours finally? What does AC mean for Brown Derby and Little Mermaid, and would it connect to the back of Sunset.

I think these questions are more important, because I think if we are gaining more by losing one thing, or losing more by gaining little makes me question where to put it.

Does MC also include tearing down Star Tours finally?

There is a mandatory fire access lane between muppets and star tours - so that in itself would make it difficult. I’m also guessing they are hoping to get rights to Marvel and retheme Star tours for a quick open while they build a campus at the old backlot and Indy space.

What does AC mean for Brown Derby and Little Mermaid, and would it connect to the back of Sunset.

Brown derby would be fine.
Mermaid they can do whatever they want with - it could be included in the plans or it could remain separate.

The connection to sunset can happen right now if they want to.

I don't think there's any way they get the Marvel rights. There's no reason for Universal to give them up barring some kind of insane offer, but then it wouldn't be worth doing for Disney.

You know they want them - it’s just a matter of time. At the very least universal will keep a few and let Disney use the rest.

Well eventually universal is gonna have to either retheme the rides or replace them. Would they really spend all that money promoting something they don't own?

From what I've heard between both plans...

•AC means a show is in the cards, along with the playground. MC is just the coaster and playground, I don't know about the show being apart of MC plans.
•MC plans have Star Tours still standing.
•Monsters is likely going to the far back of AC (Launch Bay+feature animation) Mermaid will still be there, so will Brown Derby reportedly. Bit less clear on BD. Mermaid could possibly have a rerouted entrance that hides the building from Monsters using a facade.
•Leaning yes on Sunset connection.

“Finally”? Why would anyone suggest that removing Star Tours is a positive?

Universal has the Marvel rights in perpetuity (if they want them). They have no reason to ever have to replace those rides and the land.

At most we might see Disney paying to share the Marvel rights or being able to use some additional characters that Uni isn’t using but even that is a big long shot.
