Ooooooooo Pee Wee, that's a great idea. I've never thought before for a Disney park.

Thanks. But I've finished the timeline, guys. So I might need to change the timeline sometime soon.

 

[Goofy Ninja]

This is cool, are you going to go year by year? Starting with the opening year of course and going from there?

Yes, but you can help me, guys. I'll do this mega project for different timeline for Disney-MGM Studios. I bet Disney buys Warner Bros in 2016 in different timeline which Universal/Comcast buys 20th Century Fox Studios instead in 2018.

I would go with ideas that are probable. Disney buying WB doesn't seem probable at all. Like you could expand on Muppets because they've got a better working relationship.

Jim Henson is still alive in 1990 which he was been cured until he retired in 2011 to voice Kermit the Frog one more time in The Muppets (2011). As Muppet Studios got more competed with MuppetVision 3D and Muppet Movie Ride.

A new Muppet attraction would be opened in 2003, as another one in 2018.

I was originally doing Disney Afternoon land with attractions based on Disney Afternoon shows to be opened in 1993/1994 near by Animation Courtyard.

Disney did planning to buy Warner Bros back in 2016, but instead they brought 20th Century Fox, but in different timeline, Disney did brought WB in 2016, as Disney and WB have a deal in 2006 to use WB IPs in for changing park's name from Disney-MGM Studios to Disney-Warner Bros. Studios in 2007.

Oh yeah, the pics are taking me back. I miss the good old days of Disney, when they themed things more appropriately. It must be because I'm getting old. I'm now that old guy on his lawn complaining about modern times.

I know, memories. Now here is 1990:
Here Comes the Muppets premiered to replaced original Walt Disney Theatre, the relocation of Walt Disney Theatre was builded.
Roger Rabbit's Hollywood was already been construction due to the sequel, Who Discovered Roger Rabbit was been developed by Walt Disney Studios in California, and Disney-MGM Studios in Florida. Muppet Studios is on the construction now due to Jim Henson's still alive after he was been cured at the hospital. Honey, I've Shrink the Kids are added to the park.
Also Dick Tracy Starring in Diamond Double Cross show premiered at Disney-MGM Studios which Dick Tracy (1990) film released in 1990, the movie was so success. There is rumors that Dick Tracy attraction is coming be part of new Sunset Blvd to be opening in 1994.

 

[DisneyFan32]

Now let's do 1991, Muppet Studios is officially opened for Phase 1, MuppetVision 3D was been opened,
Beauty and the Beast Live on Stage was premiered at New York Street. Jim Henson's Dinosaurs from Dinosaurs TV series by Jim Henson parade also premiered at Disney-MGM Studios. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles makes their appearance at the park too.

 

[DisneyFan32]

Let's go into 1992, Disney-MGM Studios is a huge success as meanwhile Universal Studios Florida just opened in 1990 as the park needs more popular to rival Disney-MGM Studios because they just added Back to the Future the Ride which becomes most popular ride in the world. So Michael Eisner has planning to adding more attractions for Disney-MGM Studios to beat Universal Studios Florida because Mickey's Movieland was been construction. Voyage of the Little Mermaid was been premiered at Animation Courtyard,
and the show was become biggest hit in the park, Studio Backlot Tour added another segment for the part is the Journey to the Center of the Earth, which the movie was biggest hit in the world since the movie released in 1991.

 

[DisneyFan32]

Now let's see how is 1993 is doing now, Pee-Wee Herman did visit to Disney-MGM Studios to be part of the grand opening in 1989,
as he visits the park many times since 1989. Pee Wee Herman and Michael Eisner along with Mickey Mouse and Roger Rabbit opening a new Pee-Wee Herman show based on Pee Wee's Playhouse TV show (1986-1991) near by Animation Courtyard in the Production Lot. Meanwhile, The Great Muppet Movie Ride was opened at Muppet Studios for Phase II, the ride was inspired by The Great Movie Ride, but the ride has most gags and parody movies like Frankenstein, Peter Pan, etc... There was an Aladdin parade premiered at Hollywood Blvd and Echo Lake.

Great pics dude, it really shows how much things have changed.

It's a shame they never did a real Muppets section. That would have been epic! It would have really set it a part from the other parks.
