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

The biggest, and only one I can think about is cost. The preexisting structures could be repurposed for Monsters, that’s the biggest benefit to Muppets.

Wasn't it reported that folks there had to be relocated already?

Someone posted to social media they were told they were moving but we didn't hear anything else and haven't heard anything since then.

One person reported that their office was being relocated. That doesn’t mean much either way as offices/departments are often shifted around for a variety of reasons.

Better yet, Brian and his siblings could buy the Muppets back from Disney (those kids HAVE to be rolling in dough, right, since they sold their father's puppets TWICE?) and then THEY could manage the IP, since, according to some, it's mean ol' short-sighted Disney's fault that the puppets keep failing over and over (which is not true. Disney pretty much just finances the Muppets' projects. That's it. So maybe it's the people BEHIND the puppets that keep screwing up? Surely nobody really believes that Disney came up with the idea for the puppets to use profanity on their prime-time ABC network show?)
Hey, maybe Brian would actually hire some female puppeteers!

You do realize The Muppets and older Jim Henson works had female puppeteers for years now.Better yet, Brian and his siblings could buy the Muppets back from Disney (those kids HAVE to be rolling in dough, right, since they sold their father's puppets TWICE?) and then THEY could manage the IP, since, according to some, it's mean ol' short-sighted Disney's fault that the puppets keep failing over and over (which is not true.

Josh is waiting until we all drop dead of a heart attack worrying about the future of Muppets just to go "Nah its Courtyard I'm just goofing with ya" isn't he?

No news, is absolutely bad news.
Best case: Muppets saves us from Hall of Presidents in MK + Muppet Vision gets returned to California Adventure.

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.

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.

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?

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.
