DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Mike S]

Hate to see it go as it was probably my favorite show on property, but it’s been living on borrowed time for several years. It was a good run. Hopefully they’ll put Indy out of its misery next. Not too much left of classic MGM. I’m sure most, if not all, will be gone or rethemed by 2030. Now the real question shifts to what the heck is gonna become of Animation Courtyard or will its current state continue for x number of years?

I never thought about it but wow. Star Tours could soon be the only early attraction left with Tower of Terror.

Visual guide for the DHS timeline (so far) and general WDW & UOR timeline. This is just my best estimate. I know Disney builds slow, but they can build fast when needed to, and I think this 10-year plan will done at a rather quick rate.

For all that is good and holy, make sure you do NOT Google "MILF Theater" on your work computer...

It's even worse, I'm having this conversation on my school computer in the middle of high school orchestra...

The fact that those-who-know are not coming in to shoot down a TOT overhaul while stating projects elsewhere will come much later suggests…a TOT overhaul. Someone tell Ariana Grande.

I guess Disney really hates young female pop stars. Between Ariana and Olivia being spurned by Disney for their prospective E-Ticket possibilities.

I've not heard anything about this. Not that that means anything.

I know they want TZ gone. Let’s hope that’s all they ever remove. I just want a haunted hotel.

I think this is a pretty decent compromise. I hope they do a really good job with RnR because I don't like that ride much (mostly because the theming is awful to me, but also because it's so short). If they can make the whole queue funny and add some character to the brief coaster itself, that would be a win.

I can't really imagine they'd ever put MV3D into another theatre, but glad they're going to make it available somewhere. I imagine it'll be an Apple Vision / Meta Quest experience on Disney+.

Excited for the coaster, hope the Monsters Inc show is even half as good as MV3D (I hope ofc it is AS good). I also hope the food is clear improvement over what we have there now.

And I hope they do a proper redo of that part of Tomorrowland and replace both Laugh Floor and empty Stitch as part of phase 2.

PS I'm still team Simpsons for AC, I know it's unpopular here, but it's what I want/think would do very well.

Hoping they at least save the Statler and Waldorf animatronics. Maybe have them heckle guests while they are in the queue?

Or, place them at the end of the ride...

"That was the ride?!?
It was dumb!
It was obvious!
It was pointless!
It was... short. I loved it!"

would you settle for a space station?

Somewhat interesting that Disney seemingly paid attention to the backlash they received around the D23 announcements when it seemed like Muppets would be on the chopping block, but instead of saving the show they decided what people wanted was for the Muppets to take over another ride in the park. One that does not at all fit the Muppets vibe (an inverted launch coaster muppets ride?) As usual a decision that makes nobody happy.

Luckily I think that they’ll move it back to Disneyland if push comes to shove rather than destroy it, but if their recent behavior is any idea then we really don’t know

I often see comments about moving attractions to other locations. I don't think this happens often (if at all?).

 

[BrianLo]

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.

With the one notable caveat of Deadpool at their D23 panel. It’s the most self-deprecating I’ve seen them in decades.

 

[Phicinfan]

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

There was at least one rumor of Zootopia going in AC at DHS

The only ones I can think of are DL CoP -> WDW and WDW Mickey Mouse Revue -> Tokyo. Normally I’d say no chance but where CoP was originally a DL attraction and one of great historical significance

Safer to go with something they can control...

It's shocking what they allow him to say in "Story Time With Deadpool" at DCA (I mean, I appreciate the humor, just surprising that the leadership team is okay with everything he's saying)

Looking at the new concept art, it seems like Pizza Rizzo is being expanded. I love that the extension has teeth on the building.

Also, I’m wondering what the building towards the back is for (the one with the eyeball on the roof)? Gift shop, new entrance to LF, exit for the coaster?

I also hope the Muppets fountain can be relocated outside RnRC.

Not seeing any expansion of Rizzo in the art. The section with the teeth is already there.

Gonzo Bellhop plushes incoming. At some point it might be cheaper for them to just purchase the rights to TZ rather than find a way to refurb 4:3 CRT's in the queue.

 

[BrianLo]

This was the majority of my personal opposition. Maintaining the show actually represents an expansion. That’s the most positive news.
