DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[TheDisneyParksfanC8]

Muppet Vision gets returned to California Adventure.

Unlikley as HL is heavily rumored to go for Avatar.

If you demolish that office building you have the added expense of relocating all of those offices.

That's what the Starcruiser is for!!

As Millennial alcohol-drinking, parkhopping,
Crescent Lake deluxe-staying, spendy dual-income-no-kids (why is the acronym blocked?) who can’t ride modern 3D/thrill rides/coasters and have already drastically reduced our visits- out-of-state passholders to twice a year to 2 days every other year - the loss of Muppetvision would be the final straw for Hollywood Studios, my fav park as a teen and early twenty-something.

We wouldn’t visit again.

As it is, we’ve rescheduled our WDW trip this year twice to do the VIP concert thing repeatedly, and we’re about to cancel number 3 for an extra few dates of Cold War Kids.

As an aside, we used to love to see bands repeatedly in Florida, throwing in WDW dates on days off, but the last 2 years, all our bands skip Florida as a statement. I can’t say I blame them, though it sucks for locals and local venues.

So… yeah.

For myself, I think Muppets in question is worse then ROA and TSL.

Ultimately I can't agree

Removing Muppets would be replacing a great ride with (from the looks of it) a great ride. The flaw here is refusing to replace a terrible area that is rarely used and no one wants around, making it go from a surefire great park addition to at best a parallel to slight downgrade for the park by removing a ride that shouldn't be removed.

ROA is replacing the backbone theme for multiple lands for a large dirtfield with a high maintenance, unproven atv system in Florida weather that breaks the theme entirely and looks regional theme park tier. Losing Muppets might be a park downgrade, but Cars taking the theme out of the theme park has a good chance to be the worst mistake in WDW history.

The thing with Muppets, and why I do think it’s a bigger loss than ROA, is that it’s the last creative work of Jim Henson and his last performance as Kermit the Frog. The River doesn’t hold that kind of historical significance.

 

[K&KDizFreaks]

Since Bob is all about destroying the parks, can we rename it Bob Iger World. Cars trashing TSI, Tiana killing Brer, Monsters eating Muppets, GotG replacing UOE. What’s next?

Moana’s Mine Train Whale Watchers
Olaf’s Snow and Space Mountain. A chilly adventure to the moon.

Perhaps there might be a second attraction in this Monsters Inc land as well.

My understanding was MuppetVision turns into a monsters show & they push out into the parking lot for the coaster show building. Turning PizzaRizzo into the Harry Hausens. Honestly I can understand the appeal from their perspective, especially if they have future plans elsewhere for the muppets.

Would the show replacing MuppetVison basically be a scaled up version of Laugh Floor or something different altogether?

Something that wouldn't require equity actors, I'd imagine.

If it’s Laugh Floor, then Tomorrowland can have another empty theater!!

Maybe not Disney creative significance.

The Liberty Belle and RoA however are historically significant in terms of MK. Frontierland and Liberty Square are rooted in periods of American history and RoA is too.

Plus TSI was something that Walt cared about and dreamed up.

 

[Disgruntled Walt]

It’s not the business of the Walt Disney Company to maintain a shrine to Americana.

Walt Disney World’s Rivers of America is not historically significant just because it represents America. It doesn’t contribute to the cultural conversation, it is merely a reflection of it.

MuppetVision, even if you aren’t a Muppet fan, is the last work of one of the great creative minds of the 20th century. Getting rid of it would be like erasing the last Dr. Seuss book or the last Marilyn Monroe film.

I think they should both stay! I like shrines to Americana and shrines to Jim Henson!

But where will all those vital back of house people go? Other than, you know, the countless miles of unused and underutilized spaces throughout WDW property.

ROA is replacing the backbone theme for multiple lands for a large dirtfield with a high maintenance, unproven atv system in Florida weather that breaks the theme entirely and looks regional theme park tier.

Completely agree.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

RoA getting the axe is a good idea.

Even as a Monsters Inc fan, I don’t wanna see MuppetVision go.

In my mind, one is clearly a worse idea than the other. RoA can be found all over the world (better versions of it too), but this is the last MuppetVision. And while no it isn’t Disney’s job to maintain a shrine to Henson, there is at the moment no real reason to get rid of it when there’s a better place just right across the way.

I think they're both awful ideas. The RoA is a better one if you want to expand capacity at MK (although still terrible) but removing muppets actively hurts DHS as a park by removing an attraction without a height requirement and putting in a roller coaster and sandwiching it in between Star Wars is even more braindead.

Since both RoA and Muppets will be destroyed, no one will be happy except TWDC as they will have more attractions that will require folks to purchase more LLs.

Disney wins again.

When are we going to find out about any closures?

When are we going to find out about any closures?

On a day that ends in Y, at this point

I’ve given up trying to predict but their silence is deafening.
