News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Everything in yellow is support buildings/things that would need to go somewhere for the park to still operate.

Anim offices and the MSCP are not park specific.

Have you heard anything contrary to what you said that this was going in muppets? Beyond the tweet last night?

Not a done deal yet but still leaning towards MV annoyingly.

Wild isn't it? Especially when as you mentioned, some of the more evergreen that complimented are gone.

Great Movie Ride, Tower of Terror and Animation in its prime were such a great theme with Star Tours, Muppets and Indy great supporting. Backlot Tour quickly faded out but it was a great time and certainly had a stronger identity than whatever is there now.

Also, it is wild that Universal has had so much change but maintains the identity a squeeze better for sure, and although it has changed so much. It still has opening day venues. I never would have thought Disney's park so much younger than the others based on a specific identity would not have a single opening day experience left.

Yeah. It was a great overarching theme, but the theme park world was changing, and time was passing it by. I still felt more of it could’ve adapted, but still. Probably better long term than we instead are now living the movies.
I think the old slogan they used for Star tours “now the adventures are real” could be a killer tagline for this park

This is the most bipolar rumor mill I have ever seen on this site.

Hmm. So much division in sources. I wonder who on earth is right in this scenario!

I think that is debatable on how it was handled. Because the park is struggling with attendance and Guest Satisfaction.

Thanks, as always I hope it’s AC.

 

[Streetway]

I still think it’s gonna be AC

This is nuts, I’ve never seen anything like this regarding locations.

 

[celluloid]

It has always been AC.

Muppets is a low cost attraction to maintain and operate that has decent guest sat and accessibility.

Disney is letting it be vague to help them look great.

i know! It’s so all over the place that I dunno who to trust anymore lol

 

[Streetway]

This whole situation

Thanks.

The like is for the update, not the direction.

DHS needs more dark ride/boat/flume rides that are family friendly, especially families with little ones that don’t match the height requirement.

I think dhs already leans heavier on the thrills than most Disney parks. A monster inc coaster sounds exciting, but it doesn’t really add more inclusivity to the park

It could genuinely benefit with a monsters inc dark ride to accompany the monster inc land. Hop

 

[Streetway]

Honest question: who do we trust in this situation, because honestly I don’t know! We have Martin and Brayden saying muppets is toast, a bunch of other people and Alicia Stella saying it’s leaning towards ac, and Tom saying it’s always been AC. It’s an actual madhouse

Looks like @wdwmagic is shifting a little bit in his current prediction here.

Bingo. This is another reason why Muppets as a location is staying for now. Real estate relatively small. No height requirement and an easy people pleaser while people that have paid for their next genie plus and who have not enjoy and spend more money in the park.

If Muppets left. You only have Toy Story Mania, Swirling Saucers and Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway as attractions with no height requirement. Often those kids under 40 inches are costing families 100 bucks a day or more to get into the gate.

Muppets hits all the audience quadrants and segmentation of accessibility with low cost and little downtime.


Also remember. Muppets being toast and Monsters being animation courtyard are not mutually exclusive. Muppets could go for another 3D theater show or indoor venue.

Good.

I mean, come on. The puppet theater is gonna disappear sooner or later. Again, it was removed from Disneyland and nobody shed a tear. (Where were you THEN, Josh Gad?)

The VAST majority of parkgoers will enjoy a Monsters Inc. Land more than they ever enjoyed the puppet theater.

(Again, I'd prefer Roger Rabbit as a replacement, but oh well...)

 

[Streetway]

I see you Henry. How are ya?

Martin has always been reliable. When the rumor went out that the puppets were going to appear in Liberty Square (and there was quite a bit of pushback on that here), Martin said that there was some truth to it, and what do you know...
