DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[RSoxNo1]

Does everyone realize that the Peter Pan ride is the only ride with the ceiling system. It would seem like a perfect fit for a door ride, but I am only a big Disney fan so what do I know.

20K in Tokyo

It's funny Josh from Resort TV1 mentioned a few weeks ago that he had heard that this is where the ride was actually going. He normally doesn't deal in rumors so I didn't put much weight in it.

There is, amazingly, still a shoe to drop for DHS for 2025.

Let me guess: Star Wars Launch Bay area. This was one of the potential locations for Monsters anyway.

This is the best case scenario if Muppetvision has to die, not gonna lie.


RnRC retheme. Courtyard earmarked for something Bigger. Hall of Presidents remains the HoP.

What do you mean, "courtyard earmarked for something bigger?"

It looks like it’s going to be based around Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem which includes Animal and the others Muppets make an appearance.

I bet that Electric Mayhem will take the place of Aerosmith and the preshow will have Kermit getting them ready for the show. I think Kermit was the only other Muppet made prominent in the concept art but I find it hard to believe that the Muppets will have a thrill coaster without Gonzo making an appearance. Maybe they use his cannon for the launch or something

Bye bye Indiana Jones. (my guess)

I think all of that is being saved for the as-yet-unknown Phase 2.

 

[SpectreJordan]

Man, what are they doing with the stupid, empty Animation Courtyard then!? The only reasonable answer is they have it saved for when they get the Marvel rights or something.

I’m glad the Muppets aren’t completely leaving. But this is still a decision that gives me super mixed feelings.

 

[JD80]

Yup. Muppets is a bad fit for a coaster. It’s a property that relies on dialogue, characterization, and wit - all things, of course, modern Disney parks don’t do well.

I’ve grumbled about the loss of humor in the parks, but even more egregious and complete is the near complete removal of any kind of self-deprecating satire at the expense of the parks themselves. Muppets, Dinoland - there was a period when Disney was very good at making fun of itself. That’s a distant memory.

I think it's an awesome fit.

 

[lentesta]

Bye bye Indiana Jones. (my guess)

Not that I know of. But my god, it needs an update.

Disney can fix DHS by adding the OG Star Wars characters people actually care about to Galaxy Edge. Maybe when Igor and his ego leaves they will. No reason to slap the Muppets on Rock n Rollercoaster when Launch Bay is available. It is really ridiculous what they’ve done to a park that’s such limited in space. I hope the door coaster is epic in 2045 when it opens.

I don't even know how to put into words how much my heart hurts hearing this announcement. I almost refuse to believe it. Getting rid of Muppet*Vision 3D is one of the most bone-headed decisions I could possibly ever imagine. I will be making a day trip to Hollywood Studios from California just to experience this incredible piece of art multiple times, one last time, before the final closure. It's that important of an attraction to me.

I am actually happy to hear the Muppets are taking over Rock n' Roller Coaster. But the sting of the other announcement is just too much of a dark cloud looming over that otherwise positive announcement.

This is going to be a rough one for me. Holy moly.

A quick side-by-side

Looks like it's going to be tucked in there pretty tight so won't take out much of the parking lot. Anything they take is probably offset by what was being used for the Star Cruiser.

you could in theory write up a great pre-show but that’s just it, a pre show.

Same, MuppetVision was one of the few reminders that the park is still the MGM studios we all came to know and love. Animation Courtyard better be getting something HUGE (and preferably movie related too)

Most logical choices would be nightly fireworks and/or a replacement to Beauty and the Beast.

 

[Ryandisney]

Animation courtyard is asking to be used and now the laugh flood at mk probably will be empty like stitch is

 

[britain]

The short version from the lawyers: Yeah, good luck finding that original paperwork. Nobody knows.

What about “Can you picture that?”
WHAT ABOUT “CAN YOU PICTURE THAT?”
