News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Have to wonder if the 5-Emmy success of Jim Henson Idea Man helped persuade them to go AC?

It couldn’t hurt! I’ve mentioned before that Muppets has a pretty big footprint on Disney+ with multiple series, multiple movies and now a brand new documentary.

Looks like we can stop speculating. The AI has weighed in, there is a 40% chance that Monsters Inc will replace Muppetvision.

Thinking
Reflecting on the initial probability, it is essential to consider the base rate of Disney replacing older attractions with new ones. While there is a precedent, it is not a certainty. The recent refurbishment of Muppet*Vision 3D and the potential for fan advocacy to influence decisions are notable factors that could lower the probability.

Additionally, the presence of alternative locations for the Monsters, Inc. land, such as Animation Courtyard, provides a viable option that does not necessitate the removal of Muppet*Vision 3D. This consideration should slightly reduce the initial probability.

After reviewing the factors and adjusting for potential biases, the final probability should reflect a balanced view of the competing considerations.

Final probability: 0.40

I wish Jim Henson was on this earth longer. He clearly had so much more he wanted to do. One of the great tragedies of film history

Can we please have a proper lengthy attraction. Not a 5 second whip dash.

Don't be silly. It will be a 58 second attraction.

With all the talk of Launch Bay AND Disney jr being demo’d, I’m kinda curious how extensive this could potentially be?

Would it just be keeping thee same general layout of the courtyard, with other coaster going where the main guest area is, and a little new stuff where the disney jr show building space is only?

Or would it be a bit further spaced out, with the door coaster going where the parking garage/building went, with more general city space for the playground and such going where the main building is? And/or would the WHOLE Disney jr/brown derby building be leveled for monsters? Curious to see how this could play out, especially with mermaid.
(Excuse the crudeness of the drawings, this was done kinda quickly)

If only they had some extra room with easy access to guest areas that would also keep the AC and Muppets intact.

Disney could open a 5th gate with Marvel, if Uni ever dropped it. You build Wakanda; Avengers Campus from CA; NYC with Stark Tower, Spider-man, Sanctum Sanctorum, X-Men Mansion; Asgard; Planet Ego with GOTG.

They could call it Disney’s Marvel Adventures

I think a single IP park would be an incredibly risky business decision.

Yeah, it was really sad, especially because his death was likely preventable.

Personally, for a Guardians land (if not doing Xandar with the Epcot overlap) doing Counter Earth would be a lot more interesting, with a Rise of the Resistance type ride in High Evolutionary’s ship. Something like “we’ve gotta get Rocket outta the clutches of Orgocorp!”

Putting it in AC revives a dead area of the park, and opens up a pathway to use this land later down the line. IMO one of the few cases where destroy and replace is for the best long term. This is stil, supposed to have that rumored sunset connection in the event it goes here, right? There’s also the rumored show too! What about that?

One could also argue that the Muppets area is also dead and underutilized. Which was probably the driving force for proposing to put it there.

It also appears that the main obstacle for AC is not the underutilized guest area (Launch Bay) but the apparently important and difficult to relocate office building and surrounding area.

Yeah. I wonder how they’ll figure that out. I do support something going in that spot that you outlined though. It should connect to the RNRC plaza. While it’s probably not possible to create a full loop connecting to Toy Story land and SWGE, RNRC shouldn’t be a dead end.

Would Disney Junior live on somewhere else. Again stating that this is a very fun thing for the littles and is in air conditioning. Remember it's always good to have experiences for the littles and that they feel that it's something for made just for them!

 

[monothingie]

This area is actively used. In addition to DJ, (which is also a people eater), it includes the Brown Derby, Club 33, Brown Derby Kitchen, CM dining, and Starring Rolls.

I still think that the AC presents a much larger challenge for them to develop than Muppets or another area. Doesn't mean I agree with it.
