And I think that timeline is much longer going in AC vs muppets for what it’s worth. Demo’ing backstage stuff is gonna take a lot longer than knocking down stuff in the muppets area
To play devils advocate a bit here: they filed permits for the lay down yards and such the same day they announced that plan, so part of it may have been getting out in front of the news because the folks who scrutinize permits in the community would’ve been all over that pretty soon after...
I would imagine the racing academy would close sooner than later if the new cars stuff does happen. That theater is in such a weird corner of the park that I almost feel like anything put there is gonna pull “meh” crowds, whether quality or not
I’ve never been to Mythos so I can’t speak to it. But their QS is truly awful for the most part. I believe all the sit downs I did when I went 3 years ago were at city walk
And come to think of it, they’ve slashed so much from the park that fits that bill without replacing it
GMR, animation academy, lights motors action stunt show, backlot tour and the HISTK playground right off the top of my head. Even something like the citizens of Hollywood is stuff for people...
It also has to do with capacity of attractions that all ages can do.
There’s so few things young kids can do at the park. If you add more rides without height requirements/shows, then maybe it isn’t as popular
RnR is pretty far off to the side compared to AC, I don’t see that affected at all.
Mermaid would depend if they plan on redoing the whole courtyard over or making the animation building the entrance to the land and building out into backstage. You could probably also reroute the entrance/exit...
I love the in theater things and that’s really groundbreaking especially for when it debuted.
I’d be disappointed for it to go away entirely but I wish they’d plus it up and as someone else suggested maybe add seasonal shows. A lot of potential here, but the only thing we’re likely to get is...
Yeah i definitely feel the film needs to be refreshed at the very least. I can’t think of any other 3-D show that’s run at the parks for nearly as long (I think philarmagic would be the next closest?)
Sure but all legacy rides have gotten refreshed and touched up over time (for better and worse). How much of that can be done with the muppet film? It’s incredibly dated because it was shot almost 40 years ago. Do I still enjoy it? Sure. But it shows its age
