News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[MagicHappens1971]

I really didn’t expect Disney to take down Muppets Courtyard + more when Animation Courtyard is sitting like a desolate wasteland

 

[Streetway]

Maybe that muppets imagination plan where muppetvision went In the magic eye from 2020 was WDI’s attempt to save the attraction

theres so much space on the onther side of the freeway, i wish they would relocate all the backstage stuff to across the freeway with a tunnel/bridge for employee access and use all of it, you could make a massive land with 4-6 rides in that space

This is my thinking entirely.

Monsters Inc. taking away Muppets seems so short sighted right now, but in reality, it's only because we just haven't been told yet what's going in AC/Launch bay yet.

I don't know how people on these forums feel about Zootopia, but I think that land will be a huge deal here in WDW. The merch and things like the 'paw-cicles' (small example) will be big for fans and big for Disney making money. People on these forums act like Disney is so evil for wanting to add things that will make them money, like that isn't a good thing for the company in the long run lol....

Assuming the next bit is agreed on, budgeted, and happens in the next 3 decades.

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

Its not the size to take out half of echo lake behave yourself.

Sure, it’ll be a huge deal… in well over a decade… IF it gets built

Nothing is sacred at Disney’s Vertical Integration Resort, powered by Disney+, especially when a replacement can bring along Disney’s Lightning Lane PowerCharge Extra!

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

If only they had a plan for that.

Yeah animation courtyard was sick so uh the union sent me.

Careful what you wish for.

Yes, you're right. I hope so as well.

I know a lot of others don't feel the same way, but I really do feel like we're beginning an era where we are constantly getting new things.

From everything they are saying, it sounds like all the stuff announced will be open within the next 5 years. I feel like at 2026 D23 we will get announcements for like Moana, Figment, Lion King and (assuming) Zootopia in AC I guess, etc... which will be the stuff opening for the next 5 years after 2029.

It’s relatively compact footprint wise.

 

[Big_Shakalaka]

If only they had a plan for that.

I feel like i remember some conversation a while back about walkways across World Drive to accommodate moving offices over there.

 

[fgmnt]

Not happening. Ever.

I don't think anyone could have predicted the 20th Century acquisition until it happened. Things can not move for 40 years and then move really quickly.

 

[Streetway]

What do you mean “be careful what you wish for?” About muppetvision and HOP living?

Careful what you wish for.

I mean the only possible downside way I could see is muppet labs imagination being revived.

Don't do that to me, don't give me hope.

If Monsters is taking muppet courtyard & potentially Zootopia to Animation Courtyard ... what on earth are they going to do with Star Tours/Indy?

 

[Jrb1979]

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

Not in their eyes. People have to remember those in charge look at the parks as dollar signs. To them old attractions like Muppets and Indy don't generate LL sales like new attractions. Adding paid individual LLs to each new attraction pays for itself over a few years

Muppets in HoP. I’m foreign and it makes me shudder.
