DHS Disney plans to reboot Voyage of the Little Mermaid stage show at Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ToTBellHop]

Even if the new show is great why does it have to be one or the other? Listen i was a huge fan of GMR and absolutely love and adore MMRR doesnt mean we shouldnt have had both…

Oh I agree completely. I disagree with MV3D’s removal. I’d prefer they redo the dining and just build the new coaster. MV3D’s demise is especially messed up when Launch Bay exists.

Plus, wasn't Mermaid's Redo announced way before the Closure confirmation of MV 3D?

They’re cutting operating costs to offset some the new ones coming with the shows opening.

That’s not what happened here. They are closing MV3D because that entire area will be a construction site soon.

Exactly. LB needs to go and be redone. Almost anything even for this company would be better

The major work is outside the park. They’re making it a construction site because they want it to be and it’ll help costs to have the area closed.

But they're knocking down the store and starting that area this month, right? It's probably easier for them to close all of Muppets Courtyard as soon as they can so they can get work started. Since we don't know what the Monsters show will be, we don't know if the Muppet vision building will be modified in anyway

Didnt they just pay for new seats lol. Those are definitely staying hahaha

But the question is do they need to tear that store down first? Beyond the question of if they could keep MV3D going and detour around the store. The largest part of the project is going to be the coaster (which is well beyond the courtyard) and building up the background, so did they really need to close MV3D first?

Exactly.

Why delay the inevitable ???

No reason to keep the area open any longer than it needs to be.

Did they? Probably not but another great way to say money to please those shareholders

The store isn’t in the way of work in the parking lot.

Why do they not need to keep it open any longer? Because they’re replacing the immediate loss of capacity with the new shows!

You’re truly insufferable and wrong. They are closing it because it’s going to be a construction zone.

Isn't the store right in the middle of the area that will be Monstropolus though? With the Coaster to the back and Mama Melrose becoming Harryhausen's?...Like it should be demolished first to have the spae open and accessible as they move forward... I just wish they would have thought about the entire park layout and grouped lands and attractions by Studio and type... Animation to the roght of Hollywood Boulevard, Live Action to the left... A Muppet Studios area, A quadrant for Pixar, A Quadrant for Classic Disney Animation and Toons...Lucas at the back At leas then it would feel less like a completely random grab bag.... But what is done is done... They REALLY need to demo and clear the old film production offices and studio infrastructure buildings and move Park Operations out to the Galactic StarCruiser campus outside of the footprint of the park... That would give plenty of room for some meaningful growth...

Remind me how opening two new stage shows while closing a 3D movie saves money. The villain show costs much more to put on. It costs much more than the Cars show, too. While I will miss MV3D, we don’t need to act like Wall Street cares about the pennies saved here while hundreds of millions of dollars are spent in DAK and DHS.

If we want to complain about cheapness for no reason, there’s always SGE.

Disney “bending over to pick up pennies as dollars fly overhead” isn’t something new. Dockside Diner, located in the middle of the park, regularly closes at 5:00 PM, completely missing dinner and even the nighttime shows in front of the Chinese Theater. They also regularly close the popcorn cart closest to the theater early. You really buy they could sell enough to people in the park and waiting to see the nighttime shows? That they need to close? It’s not hard to find such as examples.

I have repeatedly defended, with detailed explanations, the timeline of several projects, including the original timeline of TRON. But sure, we will just go with “reasons” to explain this situation.

I mean at the end the day does it really matter ?

Why certain posters keep insisting on arguing that particular point perplexes me.

MV30 is closing regardless of whether or not we agree with the decision. SGE definitely had a lot of budget cuts despite its grandness which sucked a lot of life out of the land.
