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

Ha! Too true.

Is this a record of bad decisions Disney made in one year?

Just wait until next year!

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

See, here I was thinking not being a doomer was the right call. When I talked to him he was so sure Disney wouldn’t touch it.

So what the heII are they going to do with the Animation Courtyard then? Leave it to rot for another decade or two?

There is, amazingly, still a shoe to drop for DHS for 2025.

len testa confirms: they’re bringing the dancing lights back

So what is replacing MV3D? Another Monsters Inc show?

 

[zipadee999]

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

To the best of my knowledge, Muppets courtyard will be rethemed/expanded into Monstropolis, MuppetVision itself will become a new Monsters show, the door coaster will be a net addition, and MILF will find a new home in one of the smaller buildings.

Muppets will retheme RnRc. Thankfully by investing in a new muppet attraction it proves that this was purely a business decision and less of a ‘remove old IP’ decision.

As others have said best case-scenario would see MuppetVision moved into the Sunset Showcase theater after the Villains have wrapped up. Some seem to think that the Villains show may be temporary anyways as it could just be a test to see how audiences react to different scare levels before they finalize the plans for Villains land. The whole RnRc area would translate to an excellent Muppets land. The RnRc archway could easily be made to look like the Henson archway that was in LA, Kermit statue included

I’m just excited to hear Movin Right Along on a coaster!

Because when we think of the muppets, we all think aggressive thrill ride

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

Yup. Muppets is a bad fit for a coaster. It’s a property that relies on dialogue, characterization, and wit - all things, of course, modern Disney parks don’t do well.

I’ve grumbled about the loss of humor in the parks, but even more egregious and complete is the near complete removal of any kind of self-deprecating satire at the expense of the parks themselves. Muppets, Dinoland - there was a period when Disney was very good at making fun of itself. That’s a distant memory.

It's great to finally be able to talk about this.

I love the overlay idea. I ended up talking to some entertainment lawyers last month about how it might all work. Like, who actually owns the songs performed on The Muppet Show 40 years ago? Does anyone really know? Will Disney just re-record stuff with The Muppets?

It should just be Alkaline Trio’s cover of Movin’ Right Along.

Heck even modern pop rock music would work well like Olivia Rodrigo, Taylor Swift, etc. There are so many huge popstars to choose from.

Using the Muppets as the “hosts“ this will accommodate quicker rotation of visiting rock “guest stars” to the attraction.

The Villains show is a pilot for Villains Land. I'd be shocked if it sticks around more than a few years.

My guess is long term the sunset theater will be razed for whatever takes over animation courtyard.

 

[Disstevefan1]

So its really over? Muppets will be destroyed?

 

[JD80]

So what’s their plan for Animation Courtyard and Launch Bay?

Disney is going to release Incredibles, Frozen and Zootopia movies in the next handful of years. I'll let you know what goes in to AC when we see which one sells the most merch.

Does everyone realize that the Peter Pan ride is the only ride with the ceiling system. It would seem like a perfect fit for a door ride, but I am only a big Disney fan so what do I know.

It's funny Josh from Resort TV1 mentioned a few weeks ago that he had heard that this is where the ride was actually going. He normally doesn't deal in rumors so I didn't put much weight in it.

Let me guess: Star Wars Launch Bay area. This was one of the potential locations for Monsters anyway.

 

[RSoxNo1]

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.

What do you mean, "courtyard earmarked for something bigger?"
