News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[lazyboy97o]

Cars is happening… they already have permits filed… the only land I am iffy about is Villans land…. But I suspect that is a goal with Universals Monsters on the prowl

They have permits for some early site work. They don’t have building permits and those drawings are likely not anywhere near ready.

Never!!! I’ll meet you at villains land in 5 years! Haha.

If Villains opens within five years, I'll personally buy you a drink and slip you a recipe from Horizons Bar and Grill.

While we're having a run on the banks behind the scenes, I feel confident in saying, even if Muppetvision kicks the bucket, that lovable green frog will remain at WDW. Just don't ask me to answer how he will. Because I don't know!

At an actual ride/show/attracction? Because if not, why wpuld that be a good consoling ? Not to be a jerk but what makes you confident?

Hopefully it’s something actually permanent and of substance.

Well then Vahle is the idiot. You would think he would have a vested interest in making the park as good an experience for guests as possible to encourage repeat visits and more spend and better word of mouth. But maybe he doesn't care and thinks removing attractions in a park starved for things to do makes sense.

This is why I say the biggest (worst) change at Walt Disney World isn’t some attraction closing or opening, or some offering being changed, it was the business model shifts that occurred in the 90s. The result has been all sort of broken incentive structures where guest experience is not on a pedestal and can even be deliberately hurt. The goal really isn’t to make guests happy but to make them just the right amount of miserable.

Everything at D23 is their Pokémon answer. If the Universal rumor mills are true, and Simpsons is leaving after the Red coaster I forgot the name of gets a redo, and Pokémon is happening in 2027-8, then Monsters, Cars, and Tropical Americas, and presumably a project at Epcot that's mors than a bar is their answer to one of the most popular, profitable IPs globally.

Pokémon is 2030, supposedly. This is all an Epic and we missed Chapek’s streaming visions kneejerk.

Blue sky images like this make laugh. Does anyone realize that the park needs office, warehouse, parking and storage space in addition to utilities?

Sure, but none of the others parks have quite as big of a complex sitting right on the edge of the park. One of the benefits of a resort complex is you do have a larger property beyond the immediate park to place facilities. It is also possible to mix uses within a facility.

What I think the layout could be from looking at the model.

The camera icon being where I think the camera would have been if the interior concept art was a real photo.

If that is the angle, it seems like a lot of the doors (including the ones, Mike, Sully and Boo) are travelling on the coaster track.

Corless also said removing TSI/Rivers of America wasn't even to the level of removing Ellen's Energy Adventure....amazing what a few media invite can buy you these days.

But he did say they were eliminating TSI and the Riverboat, unlike Brayden.

When did he say they were?

I love Disney, I hate the way TWDC is run.

July 31st, in his D23 predictions article.

That guy DEF wasn’t supposed to say that. Lol. Or maybe he was.

do any of the Insiders know what’s up with this tweet and if it’s true?

 

[Magicart87]

Oooh interesting. Last minute shuffle before the shovel?

I’m thinking there was no last minute shuffle and this was the plan the whole time.

Maybe. But AC was to be another IP. I'm leaning more toward Disney actually scrambling after fan outcry. Or it's a big nothingburger and it's still going into Muppets...
