Having worn a few myself in other venues, the dank smell is also unbearable. And don't you dare rip one while inside, else you'll be friends with the fumes, for a quite a while.

Monsters inc isn’t as popular as frozen but it’s still as @Casper Gutman and @BrianLo said a second tier ip that can definitely hold its own but it doesn’t matter anyway because the ip doesn’t matter if the product is good. If Disney only built stuff based on their most popular movies we wouldn’t have gotten Mr. Toads wild ride splash mountain or even new muppets offerings anywhere else at the resort in the modern day. Still think this shouldn’t have replaced muppet vision though.

If only I could skull emoji react to this, lmao. I had no clue the costumes were air tight!
To turn this back to Monsters Inc before this gets off topic further- I wonder how shaded the land will be. Surely they know the big criticism of lands like Toy Story Land is the lack of shade and cooling. Muppets Courtyard wasn't the shadiest but it wasn't a wide-open concrete area, at least.

I wonder how much this land will cost, given it basically is just a retheme.

It's certainly not my idea of fun either!!!!! I used to wonder how even the Citizens of Hollywood cast managed wearing suits and ties etc let alone a big furry outfit.

If it was up to me I wouldn’t have left that cliffhanger at all but it does line up with them turning tv shows from Disney+ into movies.

I did mention the AA in my comparison. Fozie has his water flower, TTBAB has the Termite spray. I felt that one was pretty obvious.
I also never claimed it featured more animatronics, I simply said it was more immersive with how the action on the screen is meant to be taking place in the same space as us, whereas with MV3D, the film was supposed to be that, a film. Its a matter of entering a live theatre review produced by bugs vs attending a screening where elements pop out of the movie screen.
They closed both TTBAB and MV3D for the same basic reasons; 3D films have a shorter shelf life than other attractions in the public eye. Both were expensive to maintain and didn't have the crowd demand to keep them around. TTBAB was too intense for the modern WDW tourist crowd and MV3D was too dated with its approach. Both are gone and I'll miss them both, but I know which one I'm missing a lot more. And its not the one with Bean and Waldo.

It includes a large expansion out into the parking lot and an entire new build that includes a first of its kind (at Disney at least) roller coaster ... Not really "just a retheme"

You do realize that the MU hat is one of the most popular pieces of merch, right? Every time I go to the parks I see so many younger millennials with their MU hats.

I wouldn’t count on it. They take at least 5 years to build anything new from announcement to groundbreaking to grand opening.

I suppose it’s similar to Hogsmeade.
You do realize that Minnie Ears are one of the most popular pieces of merch, right? Every time I go to the parks I see younger millennials with Minnie Ears.
Dude you're telling me the equivalent of going to Yankee Stadium and being unsurprised to see that everyone is wearing Yankee Merch.

Except I'm not talking about going to a MU-themed park, it's a Disney park. So yes, mouse ears are common because they are the two most central characters for Disney. However, why would MU be the default for hat choice? Why not a Guardians hat? Or a Spider-Kan hat? Or a Pooh hat? Why is it that people seem to have an affinity for the MU hat in particular over all other franchise merch?
All popular Disney IP's merch are very well represented in Disney Parks. From Star Wars to Orange Bird.
You're missing the forest from the tree.

I’m trying to discern what the point of the ongoing disagreement is about. Is this argument whether or not the new Monsters Inc land will bring in as many people as the Muppets? Or move as much merch?
A suspended coaster themed to the door factory will absolutely pull in people. This concept has been favorably remarked about by the diehards in these forums on and off for years. Anyone that thinks otherwise is unserious. Add to it a Monsters show, two new restaurants and fully themed land and this area will be a magnet for guests.

Well I just hope the land includes a proper store this time, and not some after thought or make shift space. (toystoryland).
They certainly have the foot print here to do it right but will they.

This is tired and simply untrue. You're looking at Covid and screaming that their schedules during it and the recovery are the norm. New lands typically take 2-3 years to complete. A ride has only taken five years because of Covid.

They are retheming the parking lot to a gravity building. It doesn't count as true expansion.

That's fair ... and Epic Universe just rethemed a lot of land, so not an expansion to Universal either. And Magic Kingdom is just a retheme of a swamp
