I had heard AC (that’s what it was originally designed for), but if someone here works in that area and openly refutes its placement there, who am I to question that? And if it’s not AC, it’s Grand Ave.

We will just have to wait for an announcement or permit.

Either way, both areas are slated for redevelopment at some point, so MuppetVision won’t be around by ~2029, regardless (and neither will those apparently unmovable offices…were they built on an Indian burial ground or something?).

if muppetvision is really gonna be gone eventually, I’d rather get it over with now tbh. I’d muppets be replaced with an idea as cool as the door coaster as opposed to a zootopia clone. Now I’d rather MV3D stay forever, but if it really is eventually toast, that’s my thoughts.

That's because both locations have apparently been considered, probably to test reactions to both, as if they care (come on, they're taking out ROA). I think you saw it yesterday, but people who park behind the AC were apparently even told they couldn't park there in the future. So, it's a mess.

They honestly should have come out and said it, I don't think they care about what people think. They think you're bad if you like something and are sad to see it go away.

It's important to note, this won't save Muppets either. This generation of leadership seem determined to replace something one way or another. It's not just D'Amaro either, they were determined to replace GMR before him, it's the generation of leaders. If Muppets doesn't go for Monsters, it will go for something else. I believe that. I'm sadden by it, but I think it's a fact at this point.

On the plus side, there will be some charm with that area if they do put Monsters there.

FWIW, Alicia is saying that they will need to remove the brand new Mermaid show to do what's shown in the art if it's in the AC. In that case, either way, a zero height attraction would be removed. I think they could still do it there without removing Mermaid personally, but it is a bit messy since WDP also exits over there. There's also the Disney Jr. show to deal with. Muppets area would be more immersive because of that, in some ways, I get why it's considered. I don't like it, but I know they won't let it go now that they're set on it.

In an ideal world, whatever replaces Launch Bay continues back to RnRC and doesn’t impact the two shows in AC. Have Launch Bay be the entrance into the land instead of taking over the existing courtyard.

They will never replace Mermaid right around the arrival of the new show. Perhaps it leaves in 4 years but I doubt that, too. It’s not cheap to develop these shows. I imagine they want it to run for a decade or more.

AC needs to get redone, but if there are really other near term projects there I could accept why Monsters doesn’t belong there.

I vote they move Muppets to Epcot and rotate it with HISTK, Captain Eon, and other past 3D films.

I’ll say this, I don’t lament the loss of TSL or Rivers of America. In the studios though, I would lament the loss of Muppets and Star Tours. Even though I’ve wanted this Monstropolis area for years. I hope they use animation courtyard, I want the Muppets to have a permanent place in the parks. I understand Muppetvision’s removal a little more then I understand removing Star Tours it’s an older attraction. That doesn’t mean I want it removed I just understand that removal a little more. Star Tours doesn’t make any sense though to remove.

In an ideal world, they put it in the most dead corner of any Disney Park animation courtyard and nothing closes. Studios also has a real attraction problem and cannot afford to lose big attractions like Star Tours and Muppetvision.

I don’t think Star Tours will be impacted.

I believe it is going in Muppets. They put some money into Mermaid to try and tide the area over until the future expansion is announced.

I'd imagine you could still keep mermaid and still have plenty of space for a monsters land. The key is if Disney wants to spend the money to relocate the back offices. If only the Lake Nona project was still a go.
