News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[HauntedPirate]

Simpsons hasn’t been good or relevant since 1997. The voice cast is old and tired and hearing them is depressing. It’s golden era was spectacular, but it’s a zombie right now.

Bob's an old TV guy, after all, and he recently found an old Post-It Note from 1998 - "Talk to Mike about buying Simpson's to put in MGM".

all that red brick in the artists concept... buh bye pizzerizzo, muppets, star tours and indy...

ahhh so that's the PREFERRED location, but the big wigs don't want to move?

We also have to remember that most decision-makers at Disney World aren’t theme park people. They didn’t come up in the industry and they share Wall Street’s distaste for it as a business. Sure, some might enjoy being in the parks, but they don’t see them as personally, culturally, or historically significant. As part of this, they see “new” as fundamentally superior to “old,” as they would with factory parts (or a Six Flags). Form and content don’t matter. Getting rid of something obsolete and outdated, something like Muppets or Star Tours, is a positive good all by itself. It’s just the same as a local park tearing out an old 80s coaster to build a shinier model. An “upgrade” is an upgrade, even if the replacement is weaker or doesn’t meet the parks specific needs. It’s all replaceable parts.

If they remove all 4 of those they are dumber than i thought

I would hope they learned from the mistake that is Incredi-coaster

At least in this case, the effects would probably work better and be more convincing with a dark show building than how tacky it looks on the rethemed screamin in DCA. Would also help if they budgeted for more elaborate props than what’s at DCA too

Its not that big lol

That’s the thing. That’s what’s giving me hope it’s going to AC or they have some other wild card in their hand that we don’t know.

perhaps not, but i think indy should be rethemed to something else at this point, but ripping up all those pyrotechnics is cost prohibitive.

that door factory coaster is gonna take up some real estate.

exactly which is why it’s even more surprising if they put it where muppets is now. Just a bizarre choice imo unless they want to use the parking lot in the back more and expand out that way

Based on the concept and art, there is a decent chance the Incredicoaster will have more three dimensional figures then the door coaster, which will almost certainly rely overwhelmingly on door-sized screens. At best you probably get two Mike AAs, two Sully AAs, and one Randall AA.

That's what she said.

I'd throw in a Roz too, maybe even over the Randall. Outside of Mike and Sully, I'd wager Roz is the most recognisable Monster. They even used her in the announcement.

Courtyard is looking to be saved for one of these two IPs.

Zootopia makes sense - Simpsons don't.

Yeah I’m expecting the door coaster to have a similar experience to guardians in the gravity building. Which I’m generally pretty fine with

 

[SteamboatJoe]

Hear me out, how about...keep Muppets 3D AND give us Muppets in HOP.

Muppets international house of pancakes? Now we’re talking

So 100% expect Simpsons then.

Zootopia 2 will join the billion dollar club next winter & they will announce the Zootopia Land coming to Animation Courtyard at the D23 in 2026. Hopefully with a new ride system, as the new reigeim has shown they are not opposed to changing things up.

Guardians is a good coaster and an utter failure as a Disney attraction.
