DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[The Leader of the Club]

We did an armchair Imagineering episode on our show about this topic. My suggestion that I do think is actually viable is a Muppets takeover of Sci Fi Dine-In and the taphouse. It puts the Muppets behind a pay wall, but gives them an in park presence.

I've always wanted a lounge with an animatronic Rowlf playing the piano and singing. Put him in Baseline and I'm sold.

I know this is being discussed in the Little Mermaid thread but it’s obvious it’s super relevant here as well. Did anyone read that delay as they are doing this delay to prepare for Monsters to move in closely by the new Little Mermaid show?

Personally, I’m fine if they don’t even open the Little Mermaid show and in exchange we get a grand Monstropolis land that uses most of that space. How are we feeling about Muppets as well?

I would be fine with them putting the Little Mermaid show into another theater space... Like the Mickey Shorts theater or the Frozen Sing along thing... Leave the AC open to develop that space into something meaningful....

The funniest timeline is the one where Mermaid goes to replace Muppets, and Monsters replaces Animation Courtyard. Thus, Monsters replaces both.

(I’m aware that the Muppets theater is too small for Mermaid)

Sci-Fi might be my favorite restaurant on property -- no reason to touch it, except to maybe add a few extra clips / cartoons / etc into the movie rotation.

better menu and food is what they need to fix and focus on here.

If Monsters goes into AC and buildings will truly be demo'ed, I wonder if they build a new building for kitchen sparing all the current restaurants at DHS.

So we're all in agreements it's AC now over here? Very cool that this is going to be a genuine addition to DHS, something it's been needing for a long time. I am curious how much of AC will be used ON Monsters though.

All the experts like @ToTBellHop and @Sneaky say YES!! Muppets 3D is SAVED!!
Don't get mad, I am just kidding - we THINK Muppets 3D is safe

Oh boy, a position I can abuse!



Also kidding obviously

I would hope it's not too much. You can do a lot with just Launch Bay, Disney Junior, and the courtyard. With just one ride I really don't think it needs to be anything more than a mini-land. You could fit a merch location, playground, HarryHausens and meet and greet space in the current courtyard IMO. Save the rest of the plot (Animation building, back-of-house stuff, connection up to RNRC) for a more meaty expansion later on.

interestingly enough, they have some of the best allergy friendly options here for dairy & gluten free. I know that's not something everyone needs, but it was a really awesome surprise for my girlfriend when we visited last year.

Rogers at DCA was well received, yet only lasted 2-3 months, and that theater sits empty now

Doesn't sound like that was a good decision to close it lol.

In Animation Courtyard, it would definitely take out at least part of the Feature Animation building plot for the attraction. It's the custodial offices and materials storage areas that would more likely get relocated next if anything else ever goes over there.

Is Henry just gone? Was trying to find his previous posts but they're gone now? Not familiar with the forms but seems kinda funny he just went and said a bunch of IP that were being looked at and now is gone.

Yes, his account got deleted.

 

[Starship824]

I know we're all having a sort of celebratory dance that it might be going into AC but remember, we don't know until it's officially announced, all our "insiders" on these boards we're telling us the RoA were safe until August came.

I dont think the sentiment was “its safe”, more “its getting a huge cut, how much is unknown

Bah humbug, I swore people said there was some alteration to ROA in the cards, until McQueen came in and decided "Gee Mater, we should drain this river and build another Radiator Springs" "LETS GET 'ER DONE" at the last second, with villains being some cushion from the ROA-shaped fall.
"Sure we're gonna build a whole Pixar land to sell toys but we're ALSO giving you what you all have wanted!"

I did say ROA was being eliminated/cut down before D23, but I also said MK is getting Zootopia so, win some you lose some? That's why I don't call myself an Insider yuk yuk

 

[JD80]

Every rumor I've seen is just speculation that's based on rumor and heresay from social media echo chambers.

We know nothing right now. People keep saying cuts but these projects haven't been around long enough for budget cuts yet since their announcement.
