I’ve always thought they were holding on to star tours so they can retheme it to a marvel franchise when they can get the rights figured out.

I’m scared if muppets lives, it’s theatre will eventually be used as WEB SLINGERS like they did with bugs at DCA.
I do feel like universal won’t hold out on marvel forever, but who knows what the MCU will look like when we do get avengers at DHS. maybe we’ll be going to an x-men campus by the time it’s done? Whatever it is, it’s likely many years away.
There is the iron man ride at HK that uses the same tech.

Star Tours feels so disjointed in both DL/WDW now, I really wish they'd just get rid of it. It's still enjoyable, but that 1990 simulator tech is undwhelming. POTC and HM get away with it as park anchor rides, but ST, not so much. Same for Muppets.
I mean, on the pirates end, boats are timeless because, yknow, they’re boats. I do think star tours is kinda outdated tech wise, and it should be used for replacement. I do think muppets has so many moving parts outside of the movie that it feels less like a “3d movie” and more of a full show that has 3d. I’d like it to stay forever, but something about it just gives me this feeling deep down that it’s not destined for that. I do feel like the muppets could and should come back in wdw in some new way if MV3D has to go eventually. The muppets have one upside that many other ips don’t:they can do literally anything. A new muppet’s experience could be so many things. I just hope WDI gives them the chance.

What if, one day, DHS had more than 10 rides?

I always chuckle when people mention a fifth gate while two gates have a quantity of rides in the single digits.
Spiderman is off the table in Florida due to Universal using him for their parks.
I guess tearing all of old mgm remaining sans sunset/fantasmic+tot and Hollywood boulevard + chineese theatre could constitute as a brand new park ig
Then the whole Universe would cease to exist to be replaced by one in which DHS had even less rides.

Now that "guests" pay for LL, Disney has incentive to keep the number of rides down to keep the wait times UP!
I personally think it’s a matter of time before universal gives in. It’s a LONG time away, but I don’t see them holding out MHSI forever.

And also to add on: Grand avenue does need an update. I just don’t think tearing out muppetvision would be the right one for the park. If there’s a way to make the courtyard better and keep muppetvision (including possibly a new ride), I will be first in line to support it.

There's just no reason for them to ever give it up. It costs them almost nothing, and they prevent a competitor from being able to use the IP.
If they do give it up any time in the foreseeable future, it'll likely be because Marvel is no longer considered a major draw to the point where Disney probably wouldn't want to use it anyways.
I personally think maybe a flat ride where the store is, restaurants with better food and actual theming, and give the area more theme than just “city”, and make it look nice.

There was a coaster themed to Scooby-Doo doo at Kings Island that had the elevated lift..
And it looks like it's that same tech..
It will be Vekoma's family inverted coaster, like Dragonflier at Dollywood, but with an elevator lift that I don't think exists yet for a full-size coaster.
It's a surprisingly fun ride.

Wow, that’s what an elevator lift looks like. That’s gonna be a sight to see inside the show building and with all the theming. Gonna have to also be a pretty tall show building.

No that’s a standard lift - that’s the same type of coaster at Dollywood with a standard lift. It’s a family suspended coaster.
