Could the Mickey shorts space work for Disney Jr though if they went with the AC space? That show seems much simpler to relocate

Oh I was talking about Disney Jr not muppets. Muppets definitely is more of a challenge. I guess I could see little mermaid building (not likely since they’re designing a new show for that space) or maybe the lightning McQueen academy space? I’ve never been in the racing academy so I’m not sure...

I can certainly understand the argument for cohesive theming. Definitely had more rhyme and reason back in the day. In my lifetime (mid 90s on) I don’t think the backlot tour was ever really worth much imo. So much stuff had been cleared out during the time I can remember riding it as a kid...

How much infrastructure does it have? It’s just the stage, area for costuming for the characters on stage, and an empty floor space for the guests correct? And the lighting rigs That building that houses the animation shorts that now houses sounds dangerous, how big is that? I know where some...

There’s so many spots that it could go to in the park. Though I’d argue even easier to move is the Disney jr show, and that already has the set up to convert back to a restaurant as well…

And it’s always wild to me when folks pine for the old MGM studios. Beyond the first handful of years, the studio concept was an absolute failure. It’s not like this is unique to Disney, the studio park concept was pretty much a fad of the time period that’s largely gone extinct. So what would...

Agreed, problem is studios is a cluster**** of a layout. They’re trying to work with a pretty janky framework to put stuff into. Though animation courtyard connects right to Hollywood boulevard, so that’s another thing it has going for it

Unrelated to the main topic, but am I the only one that finds it creepy that there were just abandoned formerly on stage facades just living backstage? It’s so strange how there’s just sections of studios that were part of the park but are now back of house and vice versa. But I digress

“Kermit the frog visited monstropolis when he was a kid”

I wouldn’t be entirely shocked. That’s a bunch of AA’s to upkeep and they have it shut it down every 4 or 8 years to add a new animatronic. Not to mention the worsening of polarization of politics in this country and the need for people to heckle at freaking robots, and I can see why they’d want...

Sunset boulevard opened with one originally (RnR came a few years later). Though in that case A LOT of shopping and dining was added

At least the walkways in WS are pretty far away from the waters edge compared to RoA. I figure they don’t see it as as much of a liability because they never (I don’t believe) ever put up those alligators/snakes present signs at WS like they did for RoA

Ka-chow? Whoops, wrong thread for that 😉

This doesn’t surprise me. More guest space to spread people out, and I can imagine OPs is tired of having to shuttle things over to TSI every time something needs to be refurbed. I wasn’t around for when 20k closed, but from what I’ve read the discourse around this decision seems similar...

That’s patently false, there’d be A LOT of complaints with all those ideas

Harbor house: under new management

I’ve come to this conclusion. I’d be ok with: Then covering over the rivers of America and putting in something more fitting for Frontierland (something like grizzly river run or western river expedition for example) or Putting a cars area on the opposite side of the river from thunder...

Yeah we’ll have to see. I’m expecting a lot of screen based stuff with this ride, which I’m fairly ok with. I won’t judge too hard one way or another until we get some confirmed storyline/concept art Edit: beyond the fairly generic concept art they gave us of the ride at D23

I mean, I enjoy it 🤷

Yeah I’m expecting the door coaster to have a similar experience to guardians in the gravity building. Which I’m generally pretty fine with
