DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Horizonsfan]

If they’re going to shutter HoP for Muppets, I’m fine with it**, but they need to announce that ASAP before the election.

** - too many visitors have proven themselves incapable of acting like normal/sane adults, which ruins the whole experience.

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

If only. Cosmic Rewind is a truly awesome experience and I would argue for the best coaster at Disney ever. This is such a different setup than it wouldn't be possible to be in any way similar to that experience.

I honestly think it’s a 50/50 chance. I don’t think it’s for sure as we all know about.

1) I don't think even they know yet
2) I think any attraction slated for closure will be open every day of the 2025 calendar year, including the Liberty Belle and Dinosaur.

I just need @marni1971 to hold me in his arms as he tells me it’s all going to be okay

 

[Streetway]

What do you think the reason for the vastly different concept art was? Maybe they don’t know yet?

 

[MaximumEd]

I’m leaning toward Muppets going away for this. They announced where Tropical Americas location will be. They didn’t announce this or Cars, and well, we see how Cars turned out. More disappointment incoming.

Yeah we’ll have to see. I’m expecting a lot of screen based stuff with this ride, which I’m fairly ok with. I won’t judge too hard one way or another until we get some confirmed storyline/concept art

Edit: beyond the fairly generic concept art they gave us of the ride at D23

Current status, in the words of Michael Scott...snip, snap, snip, snap.

I am excited about the type of coaster and larger presence of Monsters Inc, however I do feel that maybe an entire themed land is a bit superfluous.

Personally, I would like to see just the Monsters Inc coaster, and then an entire land for the Muppets. Finally bring The Great Muppet Movie Ride to life, maybe a retheme or just plus up Pizza Rizzos, then another new muppets attraction.

I feel that would be a win win for all; non the less, I still am pumped for Monstropolis.

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

Pretty sure he means the plan that was made back in the day at Disneyland to put Muppet•Vision 3D where Great Moments with Lincoln was. So imagine them simply plopping the pre-existing show into Hall of Presidents and maybe theming Liberty Square to a Muppets themed land. Ultimately regarding the Muppets going into Main Street Opera House, They ended up getting pushback and eventually it got brought to DCA instead. Truth be told though, to add more return investment on DL. Bringing Muppet•Vision back to DCA would be incredibly simple IMO & a net positive to those that’d miss at DHS. Heck, if you wanted to, Could even have it rotate between the current Mickey’s Philharmagic if you wanted to you could even bring a version of The Great Muppet Movie Ride to DCA in that same area where their current Monsters Inc. darkride is now.. transfer the Roz AA to the queue of the Monsters Inc. coaster planned for DHS.

More like the execs who work in the Animation building and park in that convenient parking garage back there don't want to leave. Hence why there is conflict over where its going.

It’s not execs in that building, that’s what Team Disney is for. This building is full of office and technical departments, some specific for DHS and some that are global. Most could probably be moved to one of the buildings in Celebration, but this is a very active and functioning office complex.

Considering the two renders are clearly for each location, I would have to agree.

They need to space out the disappointment.

That’s why I waited a week to tell my parents I was dropping out of grad school when I had just asked them for some help on rent.

 

[Streetway]

Maybe it’s a “zootopia in ak” situation?

Considering the two renders are clearly for each location, I would have to agree.

There better be a Harry Hausens sit down and/or Signature restaurant.

It’s in both drawings.

When we talk about Monsters going into Muppets Courtyard, does this include the Star Tours area as well?

Or would Star Tours be spared for now?

 

[marni1971]

They should have announced where Cars and Monsters Inc are going at the same time to help the sting a bit

They like spreading out the bad news.

Monsters Inc. replacing the derelict Animation Courtyard is a nice add for DHS, even if a coaster is still not an especially good idea at the moment.

Monsters Inc. replacing Muppets and/or Star Tours would be a lateral move for the park at best and may actually make the park even worse from a crowding/long lines perspective.

Hopefully Disney makes the smart choice.

I would hope it doesn’t replace BOTH. That would be a capacity reduction.
