It's starting to feel like they haven't announced that its replacing MV3D because someone realized how close we were to the 70th.
Indeed. Some coasters are improved by just shutting off the lights!!The quality of an experience is not directly proportional to the technology involved.
Works for some situationships, too.Indeed. Some coasters are improved by just shutting off the lights!!
Any goodwill they had has been, as we say in the accounting profession, impaired. And I can’t say it’s getting fixed anytime soon.Agreed, they have lost goodwill and will lose more goodwill for what they are doing in MK and with the Muppets.
Lets hope they announce it early
Rewatched Martin's tribute to MV3D and now I'm conflicted on this whole thing. On one hand I want Monsters to get the most space possible and not shoehorned into AC, but I don't want to lose Muppets, it's just so cute
Disney just pulled a permit for post-production construction work last week. Reference Permits thread... This is definitely happening
According to Touring Plans / @lentesta 's site, MK has been a 10/10 on:Magic kingdom hasn’t been packed…wall to wall 10/10 Crowds in about 5 years.
There’s an issue and we continually see stupid excuses to splain it away

No argument from me that attendance is down across WDW as a whole, and especially resort occupancy is way down, but MK still remains quite popular. If I had included crowd level 9 days in that mix, there would have been quite a bit more.
This isn’t relevant to our discussion but they did it again random bad news drop. I don’t really care about the trolley but it was nice.
I can’t help but feel Muppets could be done in the exact same way.

…well we gotta nip that in the budI believe the Red Car Trolleys was the only new domestic ride addition under Iger that wasn't tied to an IP.
The fallout from this would be huge. The fans would be lividWhat if the announcement is that Muppet*Vision is closing to make way for Monstropolis, but the Muppets are taking over the Imagination pavilion and pushing Figment to be nothing more than a Festival host?
They love shoehorning…more appearance of large crowds to sell upcharges when overall attendance is decliningThere's more space in AC. So if your concern is it being "shoehorned" that's yet another issue with the Muppet area.
I can’t imagine they kill Figment and MV3D in one fell swoop. I’d expect Electric Mayhem RnRC or Muppets in HOP before that.What if the announcement is that Muppet*Vision is closing to make way for Monstropolis, but the Muppets are taking over the Imagination pavilion and pushing Figment to be nothing more than a Festival host?
I have no doubt that they would do something like this. TWDC under Iger and his IP mandate has proven that anything not attached to one of its non-park media properties is at their mercy. I’ve said this multiple times, nothing at these parks is safe if it isn’t based on a movie or TV show. These parks will look very, very different in 10-15 years…What if the announcement is that Muppet*Vision is closing to make way for Monstropolis, but the Muppets are taking over the Imagination pavilion and pushing Figment to be nothing more than a Festival host?
I was there during some of those days. Not even close to “packed”
I love Len and respect his data…but It is based on ride wait times
So a bit of a gap in the metrics there
Hate to break it to you but they do it because it that's what people like. As much as I enjoy the classic non-IP stuff even still in Paris I was delighted seeing Marvel stuff. I'd prefer a blend but the parks cost a ton to run and what pays for that is getting seats on rides, a poster with Iron Man brings in more butts than a generic Western themed ride in an era where that's not that popular.I have no doubt that they would do something like this.
