DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Magenta Panther]

Still team Animation Courtyard.

Today's announcement could be strategic. Monsters was slated for Animation, then was shifted to Muppets with Mermaid coming to Animation. Now with the backlash of Muppets closing, Animation is back as the location, but that leaves Mermaid in an awkward spot. So they create a new show as something to draw attention to canceling Mermaid to then be able to announce Monsters location in Animation.

Why on earth would they cancel Mermaid?

 

[Magenta Panther]

I dont want to see Muppets go. But I would also hate to see Monsters canceled due to backlash. That won’t happen, will it?

What backlash?

 

[Bocabear]

Wasn't the word out there closer to 2 minutes?

so a minute and 40 seconds? lol 3 minutes plus would be really nice....and feel more substantial....

I know of at least one facility that Disney uses for off stage employees that is located on the upper part of I4 in an industrial park type of location, no where close to the parks. There is no reason to keep backstage cast members onsite and if anything I would argue that it makes more sense to remove them from the areas around the parks unless they have to be there. Easier commuting, parking, etc. Marie

Galactic Starcruiser Halcyon is just sitting there empty.... Just Sayin'....

The world's longest inverted coaster goes 2:40...

Average coaster time in general is about 2 mins...

Not sure if that's including the door lift section or just the track. Remember, the ride vehicle is supposed to be lifted vertically to the track like the doors in the film, which should add to the ride time

Seven Dwarfs, which feels incredibly short is 2 minutes 19 seconds to the brake outside the station (Dwarfs cottage)

 

[Andrew C]

so "closer to 2 minutes" sounds like Barnstormer length ( which is about 1 minute 59 seconds station to station....

Uhh...that isn't accurate. It is 53 seconds station to station.

oops you are right....

There was a coaster themed to Scooby-Doo doo at Kings Island that had the elevated lift..


And it looks like it's that same tech..

Mermaid is not being cancelled

They'd probably be shifted to the big building out by Disney Springs..

That one already at capacity, a new building would have to be found/built. I’d say about 1/4 of the people in that bldg are directly related to the park, the others not so much.

Let's hope it's not that! Looks very janky.

I feel like the “It can’t go to AC because they’re upgrading the Little Mermaid” theater stuff ignores they recently did the same thing to MV?

Muppets Theater seating replaced in the latest of several upgrades to the classic MuppetVision 3D at Disney's Hollywood Studios

GMR had a new sponsor and voice over and investment before they decided to trash it

Probably won't..It's just the idea of how it works

what I would like to happen.

• Monsters Inc land goes in Muppets courtyard. Maybe have to build into parking. Has a quick service which can get a re-theme.
• Muppets 3D goes into the imagination pavilion and gets a muppets ride replacing Figment.
• Figment and Inside out goes into Wonders of Life pavilion.
• If Disney were to get Marvel theme park rights for WDW, They could then use Animation Courtyard and maybe sunset boulevard to be a huge Marvel land. ToT and RnR potential re-themes.

You lost me at Muppets Courtyard, then had me at Muppets 3D in Imagination, then lost me at replacing Figment, then had me at Inside Out in WoL, then lost me at ToT retheme.

It just kept getting worse. But that all won’t happen so no worries there. This project got approved because they didn’t want to drop another $1 billion on DHS yet so they won’t spend that much anyway on musical chairs and rethemes.

Not really sure why anyone thinks they will move a 30+ year old 3D movie. If it closes, it’s gone.

Where are the demands to move ITTBaB to The Land replacing Awesome Planet?

Have to agree here, no way it is worth moving. Best hope is they just create some kind of show with Muppets in it. Which may also be a stretch.

Who really liked it? I did it once to check the box but that is it.

Kite Tails.

I'd say they removed Kite Tails as opposed to replacing it.

Sad too.... I thought it was a really cute show and enjoyed it a lot from the regular seats when I first saw it. Then I came back with the family and watched the inferior FP+ view. Horribly managed crowd flow and I'm not surprised it left quickly.
