AC needs to get redone, but if there are really other near term projects there I could accept why Monsters doesn’t belong there.
I vote they move Muppets to Epcot and rotate it with HISTK, Captain Eon, and other past 3D films.
That could be a great Phase I, and maybe leave the Courtyard for a Phase II. Eventually make a "Streets of Pixar" area that features Monsters, Incredibles, and a third Pixar IP - then also connected to Toy Story?
Muppets seems safe.....
From the official Disney Blog:
Monsters, Inc. Land – It’s laughter they’re after when a new space dedicated to Sulley, Mike, and all the other scarers jokesters arrive at Hollywood Studios.
(Note, bad hyperlink in their latest post...)
Considering how much of Studios they blew away a few years ago I don’t see anyone blinking twice over a tent or trainset.
So much space at Epcot - hopefully more love to world showcase over the next few years
