Why in the world are folks here wanting to remove another attraction? There is nothing wrong with Star Tours.
Now I would LOVE a retheme to Pigs in Space to tie into the muppets area. That would be sooooo much fun.
Or, as I suggested in another thread, move Muppets to Animation courtyard, and expand the current Muppets area to more old original Star wars attractions, to tie in Star Tours and the academy

Oh yeah, totally agree. The realist in me says they don’t really care and wouldn’t hesitate to remove it.
The muppets fan in me though, would also like the muppets to remain a permanent fixture in as many Disney parks as possible. Special emphasis though on the studios.
Muppets should be replaced with another muppet 3d thing, if it is ever replaced. They aren't popular, but people like the muppets and people like when they're used for parks stuff (Destination D 2023 aside). There's no reason to replace it short term anyways, there's bigger fish to fry at HS (like what to do with animation courtyard and turning the Galactic Starcruiser into office space/storage) and elsewhere. Disney probably wants to remove it (and the only reason it hasn't is the One Man's Dream theater is being used for movie previews instead of it, like how the DL tomorrowland theater was used for being shuttered for good).

The whole issue I have is that, I don't trust Disney to do anything with The Muppets. That's the only acquisition where they've done no movement with in parks outside of the Fox stuff that will, let's face it, never be in the parks.
Marvel? Rides, lands, fun for all.
Star Wars? Lands, rides, leave quality arguments at the door, it's the quantity I'm talking about here.
Indiana Jones? Animal Kingdom stuff.
Muppets? Nothing, and had stuff removed in Cali.
WHAT A HORRIBLE DAY

(do not) SAY HIS WORDS
out of any Fox IP, Apes is in the best position to get stuff at the parks imo.

Agreed
I am 100% down. I want to see Cesar and/or proximus at wdw. So much potential.

Aren’t the muppets technically property of WDI now?

That would actually kinda work really well at AK.
Apes San-Fran becomes AK’s new US rep? Also includes the extinction part of AK’s theme.
Also I wouldn’t be surprised if there was something with the Simpsons at Disney springs, if not a full blown land which doesn’t seem likely. Maybe a “duff brewery” restaurant/bar, or a trader Sam’s style moes on a larger scale?

That would be an interesting option, of making that area more like out of universe/for fans of Star Wars in general, and then you take the tunnel to "enter the universe" and being part of Star Wars, etc
Probably need to include Baseline Taphouse and maybe Sci Fi too, but giving those a Star Wars overlay could be fun.
Probably not the direction they want to go but would be interesting and provide more variety in Star Wars to experiences for different types of fans

That does seem logical for an apes expansion. I’m actually picturing a raft ride along a dam.
Let’s be clear here AK should get one IP BEFORE apes is even considered and that’s Lion King.
I still think muppets should move to the rnrc area. But I wouldn’t do electric mayhem as the theme. I would, if I was In charge of the project, theme it to gonzos stunts. You’re on the set of the newest muppet movie, but gonzo gets hurt and can’t preform the next stunt! oh no! luckily, we come in, and then through wacky hijinks become gonzos stunt double, and are launched through the thrilling stunt scene, where the black light flats of the city are retconned as setpeices, while muppet music plays on the speakers. Stunt coaster! Maybe muppetvision goes next door, but idk.
What about Kali?

My thoughts exactly. Though I’d admit jungle book would work well there.

Honestly it’s not the worst thing they could do and it would open up the possibility of the muppets popping up in random locations around WDW to give their take on popular attractions/areas of the parks.
