DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
My understanding is still we get VOTLM back for a short bit. A Phased build of Monsters of the rest of Animation Courtyard for the next 2 to 3 years. It was part of the reason VOTLM new version got greenlit. To support the closing of the other side bits that are being transformed in the rest of the area.
I do not think so. It may struggle a bit on opening day as a legal tweak and issue. But it is definitely part of the first phase. It is the only thing besides Yoshi that is included without paying for it in a park that does not have a lot to offer low to no height requirement.

I just checked the fly through on the announcement video and the playground isn’t in it.

I also wonder if some of it had to do with cost. The Kremlings, especially K Rool, would likely need full-scale animatronics built to do them justice like they’re doing for the Kong’s themselves. The Tikis on the other hand can be represented by a prop on a stick that slightly waves back and forth.
Some could say they went with the tikis because they’re more ‘relevant’ than the Kremlings, but if that was the case wouldn’t they be going with the enemies from Tropical Freeze?

It’s not in the concept art at all, it’s not in the model at the Epic Universe preview center either.
The only playground in the park that’s shown is one in How to Train Your Dragon.
While it is not labeled at the model at the preview center. I would look at the details. Interesting. Maybe just the treehouse outdoor play elements and the ones in the child/rider swap.

Maybe someone at Disney realized that one of their friends was leaking information that had been shared in confidence and fed the suspects different false rumors to see which ones turned up online. When the Captain EO rumor (and/or others) popped up, they knew they had their culprit and called Henry up to read him the riot act, leading to deleted posts and no more Henry (on this board, not in the mafia sense).
Or, his posts got someone else chewed out or fired.
Or, the mods saw him do something not good.
Or, he uncorked another TROLLING.
what’s that supposed to mean?
Oh alright I guess. Look out for August 2028 for some very interesting things.

I'm guessing @HenryMystic (assuming it's a different person) can rest a little easier tonight.

I guess I could/should have said don't get your expectations up rather than don't get excited. Nothing wrong with getting excited about a potential addition that sounds cool to you; just don't expect it to happen until Disney officially announces it.

I'm still not worried, it's going in Animation Courtyard.

For me, its not if it gets built or not, its Disney feeling the need to destroy and replace attractions instead of building new attractions in either totally new undeveloped land or currently un used areas of the park.

And let's face it.. Animation Courtyard is basically dead space...the Animation studio tour has been closed since the division closed in 2004...then it hobbled along as a magic of Animation tour....which was not at all the same thing, until that closed in 2015... then it was a placeholder for Star Wars Land... It has not been a real attraction since the real studio tour ended 20 years ago. Now they are going to mess this up by putting a new Mermaid show in the theater which will block this area from being anything meaningful for another 20 years... The could put the Mermaid show where the Frozen Singalong waste of time is.... or build a theater for it in the MK adjacent to the Mermaid ride where it would actually be a better fit... It is like they are determined to keep the park a random messy patchwork of IP...

You are not wrong, but it’s like everything else with recent Disney - it was neglected and left to rot.
If there had been any attempt to keep the animation building alive with updates and new experiences, let alone an actual attraction like runaway railway - it could have easily continued to be an actual attraction.
Guys, there will be two and a half years where the monster's queue and gravity building will be under work with demolition and building it.
Mermaid was revamped to easily have something play on the left side of Animation Courtyard while the rest is under walls.
The right side will become a dining interactive location(where Disney Jr is)
And on the left side, after that Mermaid will be gutted to become the indoor Play area for Monsters Inc scene in the concept art.
