See I totally disagree. If the idea is that they “need” to have Muppets somewhere then it’s pretty idiotic IMHO to remove MV. Because then you are just spending money shuffling deck chairs. If you are determined to keep Muppets, then keep what you have and put Monsters somewhere else and save that money and hassle (downtime, etc). No reason to be more disruptive than you have to be.

What I personally want is not what the reality is, and that really shouldn't be conflicted. Even on page 1 I said I didn't want them to remove Muppets for this.

You have to think in terms of an executive thinking of the GP, not us. To them this is a show that was filmed during the Cold War, one that has lived out its life. They think GP would see it as old and that a "replacement" show would be received well and can be promoted as a new attraction that gets another 25 years out of Muppets. Meanwhile they put a full coaster in an prime area that would very much excite GP and even serious park fans, with both getting more attendance and LL, to them that's worth the shuffling, downtime and investment. They also actually can make a good new ride contrary to belief, Great Moments in American History showed that. And we'd deserve that at minimum.

If I chose MV would never leave. It's as perfect of a Muppets attraction as you will ever get, it and TOT are the jewels of DHS imo. But reality is it's going to go for something, and stopping this now will just stall that a few years. At least that isn't taking it away for a pile of dirt with some trucks with dumb googly eyes attached. I'm just saying it bluntly, because it's going to go now or later on, even if we don't want it to.

If we got all worked up for nothing, it will be very funny.

It would be a sigh of relief because the only reason anyone is all worked up is from how Cars didn't have a location other than saying reimagine of frontier and two days later the truth got released thrown out so Monster's Land is in same bag except a bit worse because we see two concept arts in two different locations.

I just want a new muppets attraction as the replacement. I hope the hall of presidents happens but even then I’m not so sure if it happens.

Why is demolishing the stunt show for Monsters not under consideration? It's older, expensive to run, and Indy will have a new home in AK anyway.

Perhaps down the line Indy will go for a land that expands out into the parking lot.

The Launch Bay / Animation building makes perfect sense.

Which is why I am afraid it's Muppets.

The LB/Animation building made the most sense for Runaway Railway too. Which of course is why they replaced TGMR instead.

Maybe the animation building has compromising photos of Iger.

There is a massive area behind Animation Courtyard. Perhaps they have bigger plans for that area with a larger land or two mini lands down the line and they want to keep those options open.

Here are more mockups and break downs of each area for comparison:

Still thinking and hoping for Animation Courtyard. It still leaves the Sunset expansion pad behind Sunset Ranch. It gives them more room to play with. They don't have to worry about the service road behind Muppets. If Zootopia is truely another thing coming, the Grand Ave/Muppets area could also house that with a dark ride where Muppets is now.

At some point, we have to make room for new classics — rides that today’s kids can grow old with. Else we’ll have parks stuck in a 1970s/80s/90s time capsule

Except for devoted fans and casual park goers looking for a laugh and a seat in the AC, Muppetvision just isn’t a big draw, and not in the category of Haunted Mansion or Pirates as timeless classics that will endure for what feels like forever. And even those rides have gotten tweaks and updates.

Muppetvision would have lasted 34 years if it runs until 2025. That’s longer than Dinosaur, Alien Encounter, 20K Leagues Under the Sea (at MK), the Backlot Tour, Horizons, World of Motion, and and It’s Tough to be a Bug

I too would prefer they place it in Animation Courtyard, but if it’s Grand Ave because a bigger land is set for Animation, then I’m supportive

Once GMR was removed, I feel like it was inevitable to know most areas of the park would be reimagined. I thought it was a terrible idea to remove that attraction, but alas, it happened, and the park is still changing. If the Muppets were to stay, don't they deserve a new experience that isn't an early 90s movie? I'm all for preservation, but experiences as movies don't age as well as theme park experiences. At least that's my thought. They age better to me as full experiences like GMR.

I say keep Muppets for capacity and people who can't ride the other rides, but the experience itself feels like something at a museum I don't choose to experience unless I need some AC and quiet time. I remember taking my parents to it in both DCA and Studios and both times they fell asleep and asked to do something else.

A lot of people are wanting Monsters to go into Animation Courtyard because they want to save Muppets, but while I enjoy Muppet-Vision, my reason for wanting them to go with Animation Courtyard is that the concept art that seems to point that way shows a much grander and more authentic entrance to the Monsters Inc. building, while the other one just sticks it right in the middle of the city.

All I want is to walk in those iconic doors with the eyeball handles and see Celia answering the phone. I want to walk down the hallway and see the "Scare Floor" sign with "Scare" scraped off and a haphazard "laugh" banner put in its place. I want to see Roz in her window staring guests down. And I want to walk into the loading zone and see the scare assistants' desks, and across from them, a hanging coaster load area, with the iconic doors and their lighted indicators.

I love Monsters Inc., and if they do this right it will be my favorite area at Studios. But they need to do it right.

Now, if we could just get Wall-E at EPCOT...

dhs needs more dark rides. I understand the need for creating a different environment to magic kingdom, but Disney does not do coasters well.

They do dark rides well. They do boat rides well. They do the system that Indy and dinosaurs use well. But for whatever reason they just simply can’t do coasters well.

Which is okay and why dhs needs more of their magic sauce of what Disney is actually good at doing.

lol

Disney has done several coasters very well

It doesn’t have to be the most thrilling roller coaster in the world to be a great attraction
