News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Big_Shakalaka]

Yes. It’s just absurd to leave Launch Bay in its current state.

wholeheartedly agree. Take that place out of it's misery and let Muppets limp along until the next additions to the park.

Or they move laugh floor into the theatre.

I'm honestly trying to think of examples of WDW moving an attraction around WDW. The only one I can think of was FotLK which is much more popular than Laugh Floor. Its a very common idea on this forum, but does it ever happen?

 

[Horizons '83]

I'm trying to have a little bit of faith.

From a capacity perspective, which is most problematic at DHS, it would be contradictory to add a thrill rollercoaster by closing down attractions without height/thrill restrictions. It would be bad for families.

They have made questionable operations calls before: "They have done this before with TGRM and MMRR".

No they haven't. This is not an apple-to-apple comparison. MMRR eliminated the TGMR 40" height requirement (and ditched the problematic licensing of it). More people can ride MMRR than TGMR.

Closing down two attractions doesn't add up operationally, unless there are more DHS moves we don't know about. Or maybe it's only Muppets or maybe only Star Tours, but I can't see both in any scenario.

Animation Courtyard is dead space at DHS. That's the play.

Been saying this for years, what a waste of space. When the Door Coaster was first rumored years ago, my first thought was if that ever happened what a perfect space for a land there. It not only adds capacity but also disperses the crowds across the park fairly evenly.

Would Muppets 3D Vision even need to close for the Grand Avenue proposal?

Based on it, they seem to be removing the dotted line and building a in the back.

maybe theyll incorporate monsters into the back end of muppets and have a combo land??? i could see muppets and monsters coexisting in harmony

Little did we know this whole time the Muppets were just Monsters trying to capture laugh energy (There are worse backstories for an attraction)

 

[Chef idea Mickey`=]

They called it a land. Land implies multiple attractions, even if they only talked about one. Cars is getting two attractions and it’s not even its own land.

They don't want to call it a Cars Land, it's environment is instead of Desert now is the Great Frontier and so Frontierland. If given the name Cars Land then it would had to been Radiator Spring's and Radiator Spring's Racers or another environment corresponding to where Lightning raced which they aren't interested.

What do you mean? Kermit and James P Sullivan came up with an agreement. Muppet theater still stands and the monsters get the laughter from the theater, both win!

See, the Monster designs from Monsters Inc are very Jim Henson influenced, I believe we can have a GASP.... THEMED LAND versus a strictly series-based land that has both Muppets and Monsters.

But this is Iger's Disney, it's either single IP lands or get out.

I’d be down, but if they built it where the shop is now, how would people get out of that skinny pathway? Also what’d they call it, comedy courtyard?

I was thinking "Oddity Ave" or "Laughter Lane" but "Comedy Courtyard" sounds cute

Tbh if their deadset on monsters for muppets, put a new muppets ride In Indy’s place. Heck, use the ride and go seek system if they want something to attract more people! Make it a studio tour through the muppet lot!

Imagine:
“Yes we’re closing muppetvision 3D, but we’re building something even bigger for the muppets”

I don’t think the Muppets are nearly popular enough for a big ride. We’d be lucky to get a rethemed Cosmic Rizzo’s Moonlight Cafe.

I feel like with a crowd pleasing ride system (ride and go seek) it could draw people based on pure fun factor

thats what I was hoping for (even the lesser version from dca),,,well along with the coaster it would have been a nice balance.

Okay, if they build Monsters in the parking lot behind the current stuff and keep MV, I'd retract my opposition to that general location.

That’s true…but TRON isn’t exactly something with a large fan base either. It’s still IP. If they do anything right, people will enjoy it. They seem to forget that though and just think shoving IP in anything makes it good. Looking at you Tiana

 

[SteamboatJoe]

If this is is replacing Muppets, it's sort of sick that they chose to end the parks panel with Rainbow Connection.

 

[billem]

Replace an attraction because people hate all the recent Boomer presidents with an IP only fondly loved by Boomers. Makes sense.

I'm no expert on what generations do or do not love the Muppets. What I can say is that I am Gen-X and I love the Muppets. I also know that others of my generations are fond of the Muppets.

I literally turned to my wife and said this the second it started playing
