Hot take.Thank goodness WDW has the "blessing of size".

And now people are mad at him because he... made a prediction that was wrong?
Why complain about a journalist ...
2. I really wanted to see Launch Bay and the old animation building torn down so we could get movement in that area. IMHO my biggest fear is that the idiots in charge end up saying things are "Good enough" and not address that area in the near to mod future when that is really the location where DHS needs expansion. It's like a decade overdue to have something substantial happen there. I don't care what it is, but they need to build something in that footprint ASAP for more attraction capacity and connect it to the RNR area for better guest flow.
Oh gotcha, didn't know that. I assumed it was another stage show haha. That said, I'd still rather MV go thereUnless something changed, it's not live-action. It's video like the Lightning McQueen Academy.

You obviously didn't read what is coming and you're now spreading misinformation to cause more unneeded chaos.What a personal kick to the nuts to lose Muppetvision, something folks of all ages and ride ability can enjoy, to be replaced by a thrill ride many won't enjoy, and moving Muppets to a thrill ride that, again, will not be enjoyed by people that don't like thrill rides. But a win for people who love thrill rides.
To be fair, the headline on this site does say that MuppetVision is closing for a new Monsters Inc coaster.You obviously didn't read what is coming and you're now spreading misinformation to cause more unneeded chaos.
A roller coaster is NOT replacing Muppet*Vision.
A roller coaster is being ADDED to this land.
A BRAND NEW show is replacing Muppet*Vision and will still be accessible to everyone. Whether or not the brand new Monsters Inc. show is better/as good/worse than Muppet*Vision is the only thing we don't know.
Needleman and Smitty is their names.Muppets aside, I do hope this means the rarer Monsters characters like George, Boo, and the janitors (forgetting their name) get more M&G time now that they have a land

Disney isn't great at thinking ahead with these modern projects, so that checks out. Instead of building two new attractions on land that has been rotting for a decade, they decided to close one attraction and replace it with another, build an entirely new one, and then retheme another attraction, leaving the park at -2 attractions for capacity while construction is going on and then only gaining a net +1, rather than -0 by building it in the AC (you could easily keep the Little Mermaid show open, there's more than enough room to build the entire Monsters land behind it) and gaining a net +2.One thing jumps out at me a little. The new Monsters Inc area will introduce yet another dead end area for Hollywood Studios. I guess that the deadend already exists with Mama Melrose at the end but I think crowds will be fighting around each other with the new ride at that end. Not a huge deal, just something that I thought about.

Seriously, insiders were saying it was going in the AC for awhile and now suddenly it's going in Muppets instead because it's likely cheaper to do so, and in the end it'll tank the park's capacity and offerings when it's already dying for more.
Yeah, they make it work enough with Ratatouille being a dead end. We’ll see what happens hereOne thing jumps out at me a little.

MuppetVision is still extremely popular though. Every time I've been there my entire life (and as recently as 2023), the theater is pretty full. There's never a wait longer than one show ahead of you, mind you, but the theater is still packed.Devil's advocate ...
A land that people actually want to go into, with a new e-ticket, and a c-ticket show is probably a net gain +10.
VS
An area people avoid unless they have nothing else to do in the park, or want a tummy ache.
If I was an evil capitalistic CEO... I'd probably do the same. I assume bigger plans are coming for AC.

It's a mix of video and live actors like how the Academy was a mix of video and an animatronic.Unless something changed, it's not live-action. It's video like the Lightning McQueen Academy.
