News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[mattpeto]

You understand that attractions cost money to staff and maintain, right?

Did you start following Disney last week?

Tell me about phase 2s. Tell me about the Epcot expansion and the pandemic. Tell me about the MGM overhaul.

Yes and it cost more money to build an attraction and produce a stage show.

Sure stuff gets canceled but plenty of the announcements pan out. You still mad at Mary Poppins and the Festival Pavilion? Some of that was due to the pandemic.

When modern theme park companies are investing capital (reluctantly) they will look for any budget cut available, including slashing items the loss of which is detrimental to the park. Look at Universals actions in the lead up to Epic, or think back to the whole, “thanks Shanghai” thing. This is not an obscure notion.

There are more, but let’s take your own examples. The changes to Epcot’s plans occurred in part because a new management team took over at Disney. What is taking place in 2026? They also took place because of a shift in the national economic situation. What is likely to happen in the next several years?

And both companies have their share of doing stuff, much to the backlash of their fans.

Many fans, love MuppetVision 3D and are heartbroken that Jim Henson's last project is being destroyed. Meanwhile, other parks fans literally could NOT care less about this attraction.

I dunno but is the "legacy fans" vs. "modern audience" marketing debate?? Who has the money and which one does Burbank care more about? (it's my guess is that in recent years, Burbank staff itself now skews more towards a more "modern audience" demo with a lot of "legacy" creatives being pushed out???)

Maybe we can all agree that Burbank really does NOT care what "legacy fans" think? Yes, "legacy" fans are angry and crying and screaming full-blast... with all their might.... straight at a literal brick wall??.

Sorry, but I see Burbank "moving on" and getting away from it's "legacy" past. (Along with other future announcements that "legacy fans" will find disturbing.)

Maybe I'm completely wrong?

Of all the things in the pipeline, Monsters will probably be completed because it is largely just overlaying the Monsters IP on top of GA.

I agree. My guess is a lot of legacy fans are also AP holders. We all know how they feel about them.

That is only if a new stage show happens.
