Rumor Hall of Presidents Replaced by Muppets American History Show???

[The Leader of the Club]

If they’d gotten rid of Hall of Presidents from 2010-2014 there would not have been any backlash. The past decade has just been so divisive both politically and with Disney’s decisions. People already have their knives out and are ready to be upset.

From the Monsters Inc thread.

Closing HoP would mean the loss of another WDW original/exclusive and another AA heavy attraction.

The Magic Kingdom may not be the original Disneyland, but its history and uniqueness has value too.

I wish others would appreciate that.

Going with the premise that this new muppet show would be a “replacement” for both HoP and MV3D, I wonder if they’d pull an America Sings-Splash style move where they transfer the MV3D AAs over to the HOP theater.

I still think it doesn’t last the next 5 years…Even if they have to make one more animatronic before it goes.

Maybe not, but for now if it can somehow avoid the wrecking ball next year when ROA becomes the dirt piles of America, it may have some oxygen left. Current parks leadership won’t be around forever either so it’s possible the pendulum shifts back again on preservation vs. replacement.

I feel like it makes more sense for the american adventure ... especially will the looming election. But if it does come to HOP, just run them in rotation with each other.

I’d expect Statler & Waldorf. That’s probably it. Bean Bunny has been retired for a while, and I doubt this show has any need for Swedish Chef or a Penguin Orchestra.

Is this even happening? I hope it does, but idk I have doubts.

we don’t know. It’s all up in the air

I think it is all up in your head, engagement farm much?

Apparently the rumor is you know who would have to win for this to happen. It’s not looking good for the muppets.

Pretty sure it's to happen regardless. The question of when and if it's fast-tracked will be determined by the election results.

 

[Sneaky]

Yep, in that if we have the first American female president, it stays for 4 years with a new AA. In any other scenario, it switches to Muppets.

Here. What wdwmagic said.

 

[Sneaky]

Pretty sure it's to happen regardless. The question of when is based on the election results.

you think it lasts the full four years?

I think this is the ultimate end result.

Removing it when we get our first female president is bad optics.

Removing it after four to eight years, or if someone else wins this election can be shoved aside more in terms of PR situation.

Besides, it's only been four days since D23. Everything behind the scenes is probably on fire/all gears ahead.

I’m just really scared of it being a project that gets shoved aside and never greenlit again. Totally sounds like one that would. That’s the ONLY reason I’m weary.

Much of that could be avoided if they stop playing games and announce it now.

Another inference could be made that they didn’t want to deal with having to feature the other guy again if the election goes the other way.

Rip off the band aid now.

This is exactly my point why I'm shocked the word on the street is "they want to remove the HoP if the other guy wins".

I get why removing it if she wins is bad optics, I get why removing it if he wins is bad optics. So just Old Yeller it now and get er done!

I agree. Why wait? It’s a good idea too! I wonder if those convos are happening now?

 

[Epcot82Guy]

I wonder if there's a "tragic electrical fire" in our near future...

High cost to replace.... Everyone is begging for Muppets to stay... We did a successful show outside here... "We really want to give our devoted fans what they want..."
