News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ctrlaltdel]

Muppets just isn't that much space. It is essentially enough for a Monstropolis mini-land. Obviously they would look to expand into the parking lot for the ride building, but then you get some sightline issues with a massive coaster building lurking behind Galaxy's Edge. There is also the question of what to do with the MuppetVision space. At minimum, you would think they would bring a show over there, whether it's laugh floor or something new.

I can't see them replacing Star Tours. Still very popular and it's the one ride they regularly update. Losing that would be a capacity nightmare.

Just got out of surgery, got news before they put me under.


It's looking to be Muppets.

Quick, go back under. Maybe we can reverse this.

 

[Moth]

We have a source off!

Muppets and Courtyard are the two being yelled the loudest for this land. I keep hearing both but the loudest say Muppets.


If they don't reveal where it's going soon, the time until we hear about closures is gonna be comedy.

Anything for Kermit

And if you don't want to include primeval, replace that with the boneyard.

and the balloon pop game! Oh wait lol

i think we’re about to have another “blood on the saddle” moment.

God, Cars already threw off several people on the grapevine, now Monsters Inc is going to seal the deal?!

Animation courtyard concept art looked more detailed…..
Maybe we’re wrong?

And as much as some might not like it, Springfield is a very good match for the overall vibes and aesthetic of DHS.

I don't mind the idea of Simpsons at DHS. I think it is fine actually. But it wouldn't be high on my list of "Stuff to add" given the choices.

Not using Animation Courtyard right now for expansion is just such a terrible idea.

 

[ToTBellHop]

It’s not a source-off. There are two locations it was planned for and none of us know which they picked. Maybe they’ll put us out of our misery with art like they released today for Cars.

Surely they’d want to alert us of a classic closing like they have done at DAK and MK.

FWIW I’m told folks who work behind Launch Bay are being told they won’t be able to park back there soon enough.

It’s apparently shaping up to be muppets American history in HOP. Honestly that 100% feels like a thing the muppets would do.

More crappy news! Yeah.

Love the Muppets, happy to see them somewhere in the park. HoP should remain as is.

Not at my viewings fortunately enough.

Mine either. Don't get me wrong, it isn't crowded at all. But the people I see in the waiting area and at the show seem to have proper reverence for it.

The thing that gives me the most pause is that they didn't announce where it was going at the panel, even though it's breaking ground next year.

They obviously didn't do that for Cars to make sure they didn't get backlash in the arena, and waited to do a separate press release after D23 ended. I would imagine announcing that this is taking over Muppets would be a similar approach. Otherwise, why not announce Animation Courtyard? Vast majority of people would be extremely happy with that. If it is the case it is taking over Muppets, I would expect to hear it soon.

Unfortunately I feel like muppetvision is next if it doesn’t close now n

The Simpsons and Futurama belong and deserve to be in the Disney parks by end of the decade.

I would LOVE a Futurama ride. A Planet Express motion simulator like Star Tours... all in.

So, who do yall think is right?

I was gonna watch WWE RAW tonight but I'd rather watch my sources rip each other apart behind the scenes on what's accurate info.


50/50 odds for Courtyard and Muppets respectively currently! Let's get 'er done!

Technically, Encanto is a brand new ride. Primeval Whirl has been gone for years.

The new carousel trades with spin.

We are also losing the dig site I think. Not a ride but an attraction.

If it went in Animation Courtyard, it’d be in the same general area with Pixar Place and TSL. That would make too much sense.

And could potentially connect with RNRC courtyard if that were to become Pixar themed as well…..

It’s completely logical for it to eventually be replaced or move since it’s in the way and the supporting structures are either shuttered or unpopular. It’s just that wedging Monsters in there seems ill-advised. If they’re committed to keeping the Galaxy’s Edge timeline, this is the sensible space to throw in Star Wars things that fall outside of it.
