    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    That's because both spots have been looked at in depth for pretty much the same project. It trickles down and creates a big web and then personal opinion gets tossed into the mix. I was always told that AC was next, and it made little sense to me that they'd take out MV sandwiched in between...

    Will ANYTHING ever happen to Discovery Island?

    I'm a but surprised they haven't gone the "Operating Participant" route. I'm sure many third parties would drool at the chance if Disney doesn't want to. It's a unique usable space near MK so you'd think someone out there would be interested in it, if Disney's not.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    This is all armchair, but I would just leave it called Grand Avenue myself, but there's something there. Muppets collect laughs and Monster's Inc turns those laughs into energy. Maybe "Laugh and Scream Square" or something.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Definitely a debate there, but I will agree with you in that most people would love Monster's Inc to go next to Muppets, but keep both as part of Grand Avenue, if it meant we could have the door coaster and Muppets. Tokyo did it just fine and anything similar to that would be satisfying enough...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    And HM, just sayin'. lol The difference here though is Monstropolis is a whole land themed to Monsters Inc where the other two are multi-IP lands and they seem to care less about it. Still, I'll agree, it's an easy workaround if they want to keep both, and still have WDP spilling into the land.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    No, I was saying IF it were to be decided on, it wouldn't be tied to EEH since there's still some time before a closure would happen. If they were to announce a closure, I believe it would be in more demand, not less and it'd make less sense to remove a ride from the list when demand for it is...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Odd timing, but I doubt extended evening hours would be tied to Muppets potential closure. I don't imagine they'll close it this year so, if anything, the demand would go up for Muppets, not down, if it were closing some time next year. Thus, it's simply because the demand is low during the...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    FWIW and a bit ironic, Disney hasn't confirmed the closure of the Monster's Inc ride at DCA either. We also don't officially know where the Coco ride is going. So, Florida's lack of official confirmation isn't unique.

    "Disney never adds anything new." -John, the park guest "We'll add a Monster's Inc ride in place of The Muppets." - Josh D'Amaro "No, not The Muppets! It's a timeless show and a favorite of ours. Disney never ADDS anything new!" - John, the park guest "We're adding a Monster's Inc ride, why...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It's our version of Disneyland's carousel theater building. Always rumored for replacement, but nothing substantial comes because there's always a lower cost option available.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Just my opinion, but if they were serious about a larger expansion, they could have done it instead of Monster's. If it's Zootopia, for example, it's already a popular IP with a sequel on the way. Nothing is prohibiting them from doing that right now. Except money, but that was a problem...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I think of the Launch Bay replacement similar to Tom Sawyer Island going away. Does anyone in mass really visit Launch Bay? It's going to be a big capacity gain there. I'd bet more people will spend time just roaming Monstropolis than, not counting the ride, there are currently in Launch Bay on...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I don't know what to believe anymore lol. I've been told AC was "next" for years now. I also knew that they were eyeballing Muppets, but always felt like it would come later on, due to its capacity and the park's lack of toddler friendly rides (which Monster's Inc, probably rightfully so, won't...

    Just checking, is the old Muppet Vision theater in California slated for Avatar? Currently, they are showing Philharmagic.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It would probably be cheaper to push Monster's back behind MV and rework the parking area again than it would be to build offices, just guessing, but I don't ever expect them to stop kicking the can on AC if they passed on it twice now. There's too much low hanging fruit at DHS. If they were...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    That's not going to change though, I'm not confident the they'll want to do it later either. That's my point. It'll be replace Beauty and the Beast, replace Indy, replace Star Tours, etc. If they wanted to fill that space, they could do it today.

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I say, if Disney does have plans for AC, why not start with those and do Monster's after? It's not like Monster's Inc 3: Peak and Boo is coming out soon. The truth is that they were unwilling to commit to those plans. If it really is The Simpsons, I'd give them a small pass. I'm a bit doubtful...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    It's not because it was approved or the timelines, it's because of the way it has been presented and managed. Public trust is important for a CEO of a publicly traded company, especially after your last parks-based CEO messed up so badly.

    If it never was, this all but assured everyone that it never will be in his fingers. They almost scored a touchdown and then threw the ball to the other team at the five yard line.
