    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    While I can see your perspective, I have a very hard time seeing it being one most Disney fans will share. I think most people will see Villains as a normal Disney property and that it would feel no less oddly fit than a Fantasyland.

    News Villains Land Announced for Walt Disney World's Magic Kingdom

    Unless I’m misunderstanding your point, I believe the existence of the Cars area replacing the Rivers would also fix the dead end (since you’d be able to cross from Big Thunder to Haunted Mansion via the Cars land instead of walking around the Rivers. It’s a very inelegant solution, and one I’m...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    I lurk around but generally don’t post here. The current conversations gave me reason to post some comments due to the current circumstances. I expect I’ll probably move back to the overall lurking in a matter of time (it’s not like I’m even posting much now anyway).

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    To be clear, I really enjoy PhilarMagic, and don’t want it removed either. I was only commenting that I felt the age of current day PhillarMagic in a way I didn’t for other shows (such at Muppet Vision).

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    To be clear, my post wasn’t remotely meant to hate on PhillarMagic (I really like it), or to pit one against each other. I just feel the use of 2003 CGI made the show’s animation feel really dated. That isn’t a bad thing, or something that makes me not like it, but it does make the show feel old...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Personally, if any 3D movie feels outdated and aged, it would be PhillarMagic. The 2003 CGI is very dated, and while the Coco addition adds nice variety, the decades in CGI progression only makes the age of the film feel more blatant (compare the nighttime city scenes of Coco and Aladdin or that...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    To me, I think it would very much depend on the effort put into it and how they sell it. If they are able to make a high quality dark ride that feels like a passing of the torch to a new era of Muppets, it could be a very bittersweet but understandable passing of time. If the ride is a cheap...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Disney didn’t make Waldo; the character was created for The Jim Henson Hour in 1989, but was only ever in that show and Muppet Vision 3D. Due to the character’s sheer obscurity outside of Muppet Vision, it’s abnormal design compared to the rest of the franchise, and the show giving it a clear...

    News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

    Well, if they do demolish all of Muppets Courtyard, there will still be Regal Eagle Smokehouse in Epcot, so the franchise will still technically exist in WDW, even if it isn’t in a form me (or many others) will want.

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I think the primary difference in our viewpoints on the reimagining is that I have significantly less faith that whatever Coco refit would be added would be a better experience. Personally, I think that whatever replacement would be made would end up feeling cheap and shoehorned, and would not...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    That would make sense to me if we were looking into a new Coco ride and expansion between Mexico and Norway (ala France with Ratatouille). However, I don’t think squeezing Coco into Grand Fiesta Tour would provide much net benefit to the pavilion, and the potential overcrowding and high chance...

    News 'Beyond Big Thunder Mountain' Blue Sky concept revealed for Magic Kingdom

    I feel like my issue with putting Coco in Mexico is that in order for it to work logistically, you have to do a lot of reconstruction and redesign to both the pavilion and the surrounding areas well as a potential ride expansion… all in service of a likely haphazard retrofit. I really don’t see...
