My group LOVES sci-fi and not necessarily for the menu. I would be upset if it went (and I doubt it would).If it replaces Sci-Fi I don't think it will -- Sci-Fi seems like it stays fully booked most of the time.

Isn't there a limit on tickets per day? Plus, moving people to Monster would reduce the line for TSMWM. Which I'd argue is the most fun ride at DHS.I don't think it will decrease capacity; I think it will draw more people to the park and end up making all the lines longer because it won't add enough capacity to make up the difference. The park doesn't have enough capacity as it is right now, so inducing additional demand while only slightly increasing capacity isn't helpful.
I personally don't think it will add 3.6 million more guests to DHS in a year, but I could be wrong.

HA, if there is a limit, they are nowhere near it. BUT, your lines would only reduce if A.) it doesn't increase attendance significantly (and I know the numbers were run, but lets also be real, there will be a lot more down time with a coaster and things never run at max capacity, so I'd bet it's only about 4k per day extra it could handle assuming Muppets averages half full) and B.) They don't throw on a Virtual Que, which will take those extra people and simply leave them out wandering the parks and in other lines.Isn't there a limit on tickets per day?

I think if they knew where it was going and what existing attractions it was affecting, you would have found out two days ago. If you do not hear about it by Friday, then it's definitely still not decided. Would be wild to pass up the two news dump opportunities like that if you already had the news in hand.Everything we have heard is they are actually still fighting about where Monsters is going to go, so I can't imagine that has started. I actually think Tropical America will be the first to get under way if I had to guess.
I don't disagree with all you have here, but to me the park becomes even more hodgepodge with Pixar groups on opposite sides of the park.There are quite a few reasons that Muppets Courtyard is attractive to Disney for Monsters.
1. The area currently brings in no revenue from Lighting Lane Single, and is not likely a factor for purchases of LL Multi.
2. The area brings in next to no revenue from merchandise sales.
3. Existing restaurant infrastructure reduces costs for new restaurant.
4. The backstage area requires very little change to accommodate the coaster.
5. There are other future plans for Animation Courtyard.

Also, the Door coaster will have a height requirement. Muppets doesn't. It is one of the few continuous attractions (no showtimes) at the park without a height requirement along with TSM & MMRRI don't either, but it doesn't need to.
The park is underbuilt right now. A small capacity increase isn't going to help that much, especially when they could easily make a bigger capacity increase instead.
Plus, it's not that simple, because not everyone is interested in every attraction. There's not a 1:1 swap for rider count.

Unless the early construction would not involve the immediate close of Muppets.The thing is, they mentioned during the parks panel (but not on parks blog), that construction would begin next year. 18 months would mean construction beginning in 2026
There's also a TON of assumptions. Is Muppets really only half full almost all days? If it's 1,000 people an hour instead of 876, now it's 3 million. Do any attractions run at that max capacity? If it's average is 1,500, Now it's 2 million people. That also assumes no downtime. Lets assume 1 hour of downtime a day. Now we are getting closer to 1.6 million. BUT, there are also going to be days where it's way fuller in the parks, and therefore Muppets has more of a crowd. Point being, the additional is going to be WAY less that 3.6 million people. And that all is without factoring in VQ.I don't either, but it doesn't need to.

Yeah, definitely possible to start construction on the attraction first . Though that would be close to the exit of MV (assuming the studio store is being used for a portion of the queue).Unless the early construction would not involve the immediate close of Muppets.
We "win" with AC. No doubt.
