News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Andrew C]

I freaking love living with the land. That would definitely be worse to me than losing muppets. Because muppets could go somewhere else like hop. The land will just be gone.

Just make believe…

Assuming it goes in Animation, there is no reason that they can't still go straight back along Highland Avenue at Sunset Ranch Market with a cross connection to both Rock 'n' Rollercoaster and Monsters, Inc. It might not be ideal, but they're not boxed in unless the layout is weird as heck.

I was under the assumption that the budget wasn't big enough for that.

The best timeline. I can’t believe bullying works! You think they’d try muppets again after this fiasco?

A Monsters Inc "show".

whatever saves the muppets man

If it’s truly AC, that’s incredible news! We may even get a bigger land out of it AND keep the muppets.

Wonder if this was always the plan or they saw the backlash (I’m leaning toward this was always the plan).

Between the new art being AC and the lack of mermaid show news, I'm betting this was the plan and there was just confusion

I was under the assumption that the budget wasn't big enough for that.

They asked if this would box them out of further expansion in the future. It's not budgeted now, but unless they do something exceedingly weird, they should still be able to access other potential expansion pads down the road even if pathing is not ideal. That was my only point.

Honestly, losing LWTL for muppetvision and An actually good figment would be a good trade off for me.

Ok that is blasphemy! Take it back!!

Seriously though losing living with the land would cause even more backlash IMO

I don't think some posters realize that

I’m calling it, they announce LWTL retheme the same year as dreamfinder coming back

I’m glad. Long live muppetvision 3D!

The one thought is: if this was always the plan, WHY ON EARTH did they not announce it earlier?

Let's go in between. The vagueness was testing to see if there's still a market for Muppets.

Yea. It's still a thirty year old 3D film.

 

[Advisable Joseph]

Zootopia wouldn't be an awful kick for LWTL. It'd probably be narration change and AAs.

Problem is, when people here say "Zootopia," I think they mean something like the land in Shanghai.

 

[Phicinfan]

I am no insider. But the fact this whole time we had multiple insider leads going both ways said it was not decided. It seems clear they wanted to see reaction OR one side leaked to play dirty

 

[ednamodedarling]

Anyone here hoping Voyage of the little mermaid puts Frozen Sing Along out to pasture?

Hopefully this means the muppets will have a home set up for them when MV3D’s time comes.

I’m nervous Marni or Steve is gonna come
In and shoot all our happiness down

If you ever went to a theme park owned and operated by the Busch Entertainment Corporation (the theme park subsidiary owned by Anheuser-Busch before the hostile takeover) you'll know what it's supposed to be like. Just needed to make more money than it lost and the family kept it humming pretty well.

They didn’t even have to make more than they lost. Busch Entertainment was considered more like marketing.

Zootopia will likely replace Echo Lake/Indy before being placed in Epcot. Hopefully the outpouring of love for muppets will encourage future investment into the IP.

Ready for 200+ pages of discussion on Echo Lake’s ambience
