DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Tha Realest]

I don’t want MuppetVision if it doesn’t have Statler & Waldorf or the Penguin orchestra.

No - just throw it on Disney+. Same experience.

I would bet more money on Disney moving the Rivers of America to the Mickey shorts theater than them moving MuppetVision there (or anywhere else).

Could this delay...

There is no delay, except in the minds of some of us.

Disney never set a timeline to announce where Monstropolis was going.

Therefore, there is no delay.

Their marketing team could already have a schedule of follow-up posts on all the new things announced, and a Monstropolis update may have been planned for late September.

We don't know when a follow-up was planned, so, we don't know if there is a delay.

We don't know exactly where Villains Land will go. Will it occupy the Northern loop of RoA or go beyond it? But no one (that I know of) is saying Disney is "delayed" in letting us know where Villains is going.

Just get rid of the mermaid show

That would not go well lol

Why? Why not have more options for guests? Get rid of the freaking massive office building that used to be Animation and build all of Monstropolis there in what is currently backstage. Plenty of room

What effects did the DCA version of Muppets have?

I think it was all of the same - it didn’t have the scrims over the walls - it was all digit I think but other than that I’m pretty sure it was the same.

 

[splah]

And HM, just sayin'. lol

The difference here though is Monstropolis is a whole land themed to Monsters Inc where the other two are multi-IP lands and they seem to care less about it. Still, I'll agree, it's an easy workaround if they want to keep both, and still have WDP spilling into the land.

Does monsters really Need a whole mini land? Why can’t the factory go next to muppets? There’s nothing inherently transportive about the monsters settings. In this case I’d be ok with scaling the land down and keeping the coaster and restaurant

Some other things in the theater itself looked more refined than the original DHS version. Case in point, the theater curtains at DCA looked far better.

Oh I think it would be quite charming to see all of the Monsters twists on what seems like a human city. The artwork shows quite a few of those that potential details and they look great

And those facades can be on the side of the muppet building. Easy.

I’d be curious if anyone has any insight on the bizarre “detheming” they did to MV3D a few years back. I get the balloon caused sightline issues, but I don’t understand why they had to remove props and paint over murals. And when the sign changed people were concerned they would start using the theater for movie previews, but thankfully that never happened

and leave the show there you mean? You end up with Muppetvision stranded between SWGE and Monstropolis if that’s what you’re implying?

If cars can be next to Tiana why can’t muppets be next to monsters?

 

[Quietmouse]

considering how much of a mess disney is at the moment I genuinely don’t think they know where it’s going.

They were pretty quick to tell the press that roa was going away, and like wise I feel if they knew about the muppets fate they would have done a similar immediate press release.

So my best guess is they genuinely don’t have a plan just yet, just a concept that they could deliver to d23.

Definitely a debate there, but I will agree with you in that most people would love Monster's Inc to go next to Muppets, but keep both as part of Grand Avenue, if it meant we could have the door coaster and Muppets.

Tokyo did it just fine and anything similar to that would be satisfying enough, I believe.

Unfortunately, I think they have their mind made up with the concept of a mini-land.

By my counts, that portion of the park “peaked” in 2016 when PizzeRizzo opened and the bathrooms got the Gonzo’s Royal Flush signage. We finally had a Muppet restaurant and the area was now referred to as “Muppets Courtyard” on park maps once the Streets of America were gone. And then for whatever reason, they almost instantly began chipping away at everything. I don’t remember the exact timeline of it all, but the Kermit balloon was removed and the MuppetVision sign changed to the Grand Arts Theater marquee and some of the statues were removed from the fountain and the Kermit and Piggy mural was painted grey and the Muppet Babies Nursery portion of the gift shop was removed and the Muppets BGM became generic jazz. I still don’t understand the full reasoning of improving that whole section and making a Muppets Courtyard just to immediately undo so much.

Im just saying land-wise. What land would muppets belong to?

If 27/28/29 go the way of Monsters, you’d leave 26 as a standalone attraction stuck between Monstropolis and SWGE?

It’s easy to swing 30 into Commissary Lane, but 26 feels awkwardly far

 

[RSoxNo1]

They could create a new Muppets show and put it elsewhere?
