News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Disnutz311]

Little Mermaid show is not really and excuse to why Monsters can't go in Animation courtyard. Move the entrance and put up a wall and it can run for 3 years while they build Metropolis. Then it could turn into Laugh Floor for instance.

…my favorite monument to compromise

What inside scoop does Cruise have?

He will be parachuting into the park with new concept art that confirms the location.

 

[JohnD]

Shouldn’t take that long…frankly…

The Boardwalk bakery still isn't open. Just saying.

 

[marni1971]

but I agree that a “land” really needs more than one attraction.

Amen bro.

 

[danlb_2000]

Maybe that's where the door coaster is going.

 

[marni1971]

So I am only hearing Muppets. Has anyone heard if it’s still Star Tours too?

It never was.

4 times what it took to build the Golden Gate Bridge isn’t reasonable?

 

[JohnD]

The options all seem to indicate replacement:

Animation makes the most sense based on proximity…and knocks out two shows with pesky actors

Muppets is old and they can’t juice demand with it…so that makes sense in Igernonics

The one to watch out for is canning rockinroller coaster (old and will require more overhead as time goes on) and the cars building next to it…I don’t think they’d try it…but you never know?

What I’d love is if they took out star tours and the stunt show. Need to go…but not likely at all.

We really don't know about Muppets but I think Muppets Courtyard makes the most sense with the coaster being in the back of the area, taking up a portion of the parking lot behind it. They can still retheme Pizzerizo and the gift shop. Muppets really wouldn't be in the way. Being "Hollywood Studios", unless in the SW or TS areas, IPs can get away with being intermingled. Just look at Indy > Star Tours > Muppets, for example.

Oh please. It still has a couple more years of construction. They need a big attraction to market in 2026. Cake should do it.

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

Maybe that's where the door coaster is going.

Good…that means there will be cupcakes behind the doors…


Thank you, ladies and germs…I’ll be here all week

This will likely end up going in muppets area and muppets will move to HOP to ease the backlash.

If they do that and then put something big in ac then I'd be happy .

That’s my feeling at present, too. It’s an easy time to transition HoP but sometimes Disney misses easy conversion windows (see RnRC) so we will see how quickly they can get things approved. Lots of bureaucracy. But HoP has to close in 3 months anyway…

 

[kevlightyear]

My theory is that the only reasons not to announce the location at D23 are 1) They don't know where it's going or 2) They know we won't like where it's going. They displayed a model of the coaster already, so which do you think is more likely?

 

[Dr.GrantSeeker]

Courtyard is looking to be saved for one of these two IPs.

 

[wildphantom]

I’d be fine with them getting rid of all the muppets stuff that isn’t MV3D. If there’s a way they can keep it there and have Monsters around it then great. I’m not sure about them moving MV3D somewhere else though.

I mean, they could. I just can’t see it.

Whether it survives or not, it does feel like the last remnants of proper MGM Studios are a matter of time from being replaced.

I vote for Lightning McQueen to be replaced with a film showing what this park used to be when it opened, so I can cry into my Monsters Inc popcorn.

 

[JustInTime]

It never was.

Of course! But enough chatter that I wanted to ask.
