News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Epcot82Guy]

This is really disappointing. It feels like they really are killing off nostalgia for no reason. I get the need to update, but this isn't the way in a park that desperately needs capacity. I was legitimately planning on renewing my pass today. Paying $450 to basically just go to Epcot on weeknights to spend even more money is getting really, really hard to justify. I'm sure there is an audience for this - but I'm not sure who it is. This feels like "committee think" again. "They like Muppets. Kill two birds with one stone. They'll love it, right??"

And to @lentesta 's point - I don't hate the Muppets redo of RnRC. That could be really fun. I just don't like having to trade one for the other. We have Star Tours, Galaxy's Edge and Launch Bay all in one park. So, any argument that you can't have Muppets in two spots fall flat for me.

I just hope they preserve MV3D to showcase in some format even if it's on Disney+.

The release for this states Monsters Inc is also getting an all NEW show. That's cool .

Very excited on how this keeps Muppets at the parks, and Monsters gets some neat stuff. Also happy Disney is dedicated to preserving Muppetvision.

Them keeping the show+adding a coaster means a capacity expansion here.

Here's a look at the new concept art for Monsters, Inc. land:

So... coaster is in the car park, MILF is in Mama Melrose... so what's in MuppetVision?!

I guess this means this will be a win-win for those who love Muppetvision 3-D.

This is the best case scenario if Muppetvision has to die, not gonna lie.


RnRC retheme. Courtyard earmarked for something Bigger. Hall of Presidents remains the HoP.

Not IMO.

Now Muppets is only for those who meet the height requirement AND can tolerate RnR.

Bye-bye Muppets for me.

 

[EagleScout610]

Well. That's that. So long MuppetVision, you've earned your place among the lost theme park Gods

I would be shocked if Laugh Floor isn't closed in MK and updated/redone as a new show for the theater.

Is it possible for Muppetvision to move to Sunset Showcase Theater one day when the villain show is over? It could be an excellent mini muppet land!

 

[Indy_UK]

Hang on, so Monsters is taking over Muppets and Muppets are taking over RnR?

So much for expanded capacity, in any parks.

It's a +1 gain.

+Monsters ride
+Monsters show

This is a Big Huge BOOM!!!!!

I disagree. The RnR theme was so tired. I am up for almost any new theme.

As it was yes, it was unupdated since the 90s minus some posters in the lobbies. Now it's going to be themed to 1970s muppets. For an adults only ride.

Sorry but puppets and thrill rides don't stir up an image of excitement to me. You can't even have jokes in ride as you're going by so fast.

I'm going to guess, the ride starts with you like Gonzo shooting out of a cannon.

I'm on board IF the re-themed Villians show next to the re-themed MuppetCoaster taking over RRC becomes the new location for MuppetVision 3D.

I love the muppets but if they theme rocknroller coaster to muppets then I’m sorry but that is a ridiculous idea with so many other opportunities they could use the muppets characters for. Just further proves Disney can’t figure out how to use them.

If they want to remove Aerosmith, simple, keep the rock band theme. Play random rock music on the ride (like Guardians). Done and money saved.

It feels like a forced thing to try and keep muppets somewhere while closing muppets 3d because of the backlash but doing it in the quickest cheapest dumbest way possible

 

[nickys]

This is stupid, moving an all-ages IP to a coaster. Oh well, one step closer to not buying parkhoppers since we’ll only be hitting 2 parks now, and I doubt we’ll plan a trip after we use this set of tickets to say bye to Hollywood Studios.

We’ll still visit for Star Wars. And MMRR, plus Indy (while it lasts).

But for non SW fans who don’t ride coasters there’s nothing to justify the cost of a ticket.

 

[Trueblood]

If a Muppet property replaces the Villains shows that replaced Lightning McQueen's Racing Academy, I'll take the win. If it's like Puppet Up! in LA, I'll be ecstatic.

 

[lentesta]

lol, that’s what I get for believing Tom Corless.

No disrespect to Tom or anyone else.

The stuff that people on this forum have early access to is frankly amazing.

This was my first thought. Why announce the Villains show when the obvious move is to shift MV3D to Sunset Showcase?

Ah, Disney…
