I am not a construction expert so not sure on logistics, but I think maybe the gift shop building that has to be demoed (circled in blue below) could come down and they could still keep MV3D open. The pathway between MV3D and the gift shop is pretty narrow and the current exit for the show...

Execution is key for sure. The coaster has the basics to be a very fun ride that’s different…at least for WDW. I am sure Disney will make a very good queue and likely a decent pre-show and story. That’s generally their wheelhouse lately. Hopefully it all works well. The show is a wild card...

My guess would be soon. They already started some minor stuff directly behind the current Muppets area. The Door Coaster is almost entirely back stage so that work can start without disruption.

Monsters in theory could have been a larger land, but yes, I agree that the project “as is“ makes sense to be a headliner, a show and some dining and shopping. It’s what fits that space without losing Star Tours and I would not trade star tours for a 2nd Monsters ride. It also saves the larger...

Exactly this ^ It’s not what the ride is that I have the biggest problem with….its what it could have been. A better ending, some additional AAs and a basic story would have all made it better. If they made it with larger boats and/or maybe double loading they could have almost doubled the...

Capacity is the problem. If you doubled the capacity resulting in a 15 min wait and it was a 3rd or 4th option it still wouldn’t be great but it would be something I’d do anyway. Anything new at MK better consider capacity first. They can’t afford something like Navi there. I’d rather have...

….and an actual story…..and some real show scenes…..and more than 1 AA….and bigger boats for much higher capacity

I would be fine with that if they make it a truly epic E ticket dark ride. Just being trackless isn’t going to make it an E ticket for me. I think that would work too. I am less concerned with the ride system and more concerned that they skimp on show elements since the dark ride (if there...

I am OK with trackless when it really adds to the ride experience on a ride like Rise but I can’t disagree that it hurts efficiency and availability. It’s a great ride that’s broken a lot. Great Mickey Ride could easily have a track and not lose too much. It would obviously be a different...

100% agreed. Trackless is overrated. It adds too little to the ride in most cases to justify the down time. At least LM as constructed is reliable with very low wait times. The fault is in the show details not the ride system.

Probably a topic for another thread, but there’s room between the back of the existing building and where the train tracks come through. They would need to reroute a road. It could have been done.

…or both. There’s plenty of room back there to add a show building and it would be easy to have the entrance next to BoG or more likely back by Gaston’s.

100% agree that the expansion pad should be used for SWGE at some point. I think TSL is what it is….unless they demo the parking garage as part of a much larger AC park expansion. There was talk years ago of relocating CM parking across the highway and building an overpass into the backstage...

They could have used the pathway that was Pixar Place as the entrance into SWGE but by doing that they would have made TSL another dead end in a park full of dead ends. Pixar Place and/or Metroville is probably best served housing meet and greets or small food offerings. There’s not much else...

Oops. I don't think there’s much more to say about Metroville. I did use the restroom there on my last trip, that’s about the extent of my visiting the area ;););)

There is no room behind the land. There’s a road there. One side next to Slinky and Woody‘s BBQ is a parking garage (circled in blue below) which I assume is not going anywhere right now while the other side behind SWGE (circled in red) there are some backstage buildings but I have no clue how...

IMHO Slinky Dog Dash is a fail. Capacity is poor leading to looooong waits for an average and very short ride. In its place they could have built a large dark ride (size of TSMM) and still had plenty of room for a large walkthrough/play area which could have even had another flat ride or...

Yeah, the amount of work needed before they even start on any of the ride elements is pretty massive. I am assuming 18 months to 2 years for ”civil engineering” which means end of 2028 would be pretty aggressive for Cars to be ready and is more likely to be in 2029. I can’t see it being any...

If I had my way they would move the complete MV3D show to where Racing Academy is now next to RnRC and make that area a mini Muppets Land. Move in the fountain from Muppets Courtyard, add some food trucks or food carts and some covered seating themed to Muppets. Leave out the terrible...

It would be replacing a Pixar short film show which replaced a Honey I Shrunk the Kids show which replaced a Michael Jackson show. The Muppets would fit perfectly in that completely random line of succession.
