Assuming won't really see any work until after the CM Finale in a few days ... hopefully work gets going quick though after that

 

[WorldExplorer]

Conspiracy theory time:

We lost Muppet Vision because Disney found out Rizzo was leaking their meeting notes.

 

[EagleScout610]

How did the final show wristband distribution work?

Did they have a dedicated "last showing of the night" queue? Did they just ask people who were there at 8am if they also wanted to do the last show of the evening?

There was a CM handing them out at open and if you didn't get one, tough pigs. At the end of the night once stand by closed the yellow bands had their own holding area and were sent through the queue after the regular guests.

On a side note, it seemed like the wristband system for the last show worked well last night to keep order at the end of night. I wonder if they'll keep using it to close attractions.

It's gonna be tough for a Coke Kiosk to anchor a land.

It's gonna be tough for a Coke Kiosk to anchor a land.

We complain when lands are just two rides, we complain when it's just a Coke stand, we just can't be happy can we?

 

[phillip9698]

I know, right? They finally have their stuff together for a closing attraction and we're all blindsided.

Much better than a mob of people sprinting to that area to begin the day.

 

[EagleScout610]

And now they've been removed from MDE

They couldn't have done something like this even if they don't have a Monster Land graphic ready to go, huh? Would've at least gotten people hyped for Monsters, instead of just making it look like Muppet Courtyard vanished and isn't being replaced

Only makes sense if Disney was willing to add a date. Instead of coming soon say coming summer 2030. Or would summer of 2035 be more realistic?

I'm thinking of the original test track

Don’t worry they just added an objectively unattractive mural, it’ll do fine!

Assume that will come when closer to Monsters opening or at least a time frame. I mean they haven't even broken ground and a lot can change

I could see going right to the "coming soon" for a quick change, like for when Rock. n Roller Coaster closes for the change to Muppets

 

[Tom P.]

I dont mean a live show ... a movie or something. Or maybe just move MILF over

Can we PLEASE get a new acronym for this one?

 

[celluloid]

Can we PLEASE get a new acronym for this one?

Sure. MILF-IBDPMI.

 

[WondersOfLife]

That is unless it’s been the plan all along behind the scenes. Beginning tomorrow they may very well be putting everything into storage simply to be reused.

I've given up hope on that level of commitment from Disney a long time ago.

 

[WondersOfLife]

It is also not coming back to Sunset. If something is worth keeping, you don't close it forever. This is not the way of World's Fair era to Disneyland to Disneyworld with CoP.

I will say that they have relocated old attractions in the past... Specifically the 3d films...

Magic Journeys was relocated from Epcot to Magic Kingdom.
Captain EO re-opened at Epcot as a tribute.

.....It's not that they wouldn't do it. They've done it before... It's that it won't be as good/missing effects and details.

 

[WorldExplorer]

There were no animatronics or live performers in Magic Journeys or Captain EO. When Eo came back, it was not with it's original effects, they reused ones from Honey, I Shrunk the Audience.

At this point I feel like Disney was just being cruel with the vague talk about preservation. They got people's hopes up for something unrealistic for no good reason.

Edit: Okay, that's not really fair; they never indicated moving it was a possibility. Still, would've been better off not making vague comments.

Yes, that did used to happen, but those were films without Animatronics and infastructure directly tied and crucial to the show of what multi media is. So I would say not worth it if just the film. The 3D of Muppets was almost a small aspect that was there for satire more than immersion. Everything else including live performance is what made it great.

Like setting up TVs to have Cranium Command...it would not be the same.

And we are talking about the situation where we currently have non park original content with Pixar Shorts you can watch at home, on a 3D screen designed for original theme park content and was before where we are.
