If this is true, I wish Bob was more passionate about drilling a capacity mandate at WDI, versus an IP mandate. Imagineering knows they need to move tens of thousands of folks per day - the desire for story and immersion cannot supersede this simple operational fact.
At this point I don't think we're gonna get anything about it until D23 Brazil. They said it's gonna include some stuff about the parks, so that to me says elaboration on stuff already announced.
If Monsters goes into AC, it will probably buy Muppets at least a few more years. If Muppets goes for something else, you could probably lump that and Star Tours + Indy for a very large area or two.
Someone correct me, but it was not announced where it was to go yet.
Construction likely won't start until the 2nd half of 2025. We are still waiting on where it's going, potentially to be announced at D23 Brazil in less than 2 weeks.
Unrelated to Monsters, Inc. Land. This is for The Little Mermaid.
Technically related if you assume the rumor of the entrance moving to accommodate Monsters construction is true.
I really dislike when they use the studio theme as an excuse to advertise their mediocre content. Is anyone going home to watch “Dance Moms” because they saw it on a billboard in this dead corner of the park?
At very least it should match the theme of the area
Interesting! Is this why they pushed back TLM’s opening date?
I believe so. Piecing the rumors together, there's been a big fight behind the scenes of Courtyard vs Muppets. Originally taking out Muppets was winning, but it changed. Now it looks like Courtyard. So, they cancelled the Mermaid opening so they can move the entrance. It does not mean Courtyard is for sure where it is going (this would need to happen regardless for a Phase 2), but it has probably increased the odds by a good bit. Personally, I hope A.) that's true, and B.) that means an expansion of Monsters. It'd feel weird to plop a land that was designed for like 2 acres into an area with like 5 acres. I haven't kept up great on the thread, so people feel free to correct me if I'm off on some of this.
I completely agree, especially given that Pueblo is all figured out, BT + Rivers is figured out but they are working on specifics and permit issues, and Monsters while leaning to Courtyard is still not ironed out.
What about HOP???
