DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Quietmouse]

Out of curiosity why doesn’t Disney just announce the location at d23 or a week later via press release like they did for cars land?

Does Disney internally not know where this is going or do they like playing footsies.

Try to make it clear that all this is your opinion, not fact, okay?

I would if I wanted to mislead people. But if your phobia for puppets wants it to be, then just pretend like your post would imply, that it is clear.

Not true. There is a large segment of an audience that do not enjoy coasters/coasters in dark/height requirements/age accessibility. Not sure why you insist on calling it a puppet theater. Sort of an odd intentional misnomer.

They're puppets (okay, filmed puppets, but still). In a theater. What's the problem?

The plot thickens? Henry let me know if I’m reading this wrong.

I think Henry mystic may have subtly given his take.

It is a 3D film.

Monsters inc Laugh Floor and Turtle Talk is more of a puppet show theater. Digital puppet software.

In the entertainment world, the term puppet theater would be off.


Again folks, it has always been animation courtyard since the announcement.

Crossing my fingers. You hear anything about any potential momentum shifting to AC?

 

[Magenta Panther]

Vastly different audience and park that can't find its tone. And it was not the original. And Muppets was a part of a park that was and is still struggling while Philharmagic was a hit coming in.

But...but...the Muppets are so popular!!!!

They certainly are a huge part of pop culture and as an attraction roster, an asset to DHS. Not in their prime by any means.

However, Disney's California Adventure has been a money pit and needed any quick-change low cost for ROI it could get.

At the end of the day, They are far more popular than not making Walt Disney animation in a nothing happening building.

It's old tech compared to the tech in Monsters Laugh Floor and Turtle Talk. Just saying...

I'm really at the point now of waiting until Disney announces the location. There are numerous knowledgeable people inside the company that are still in the dark, and momentum seems to be shifting each way on a near daily basis. At the time of the announcement I was confident it was AC, then in the days after it swung heavily to Muppets, now it is somewhere in between. So I think currently, it is all just speculation and not really helpful for me to keep relaying every sign of a change either way. If I receive anything concrete, I will report.

If Disney folds because of a minority of people screaming about the loss of a very old and little-liked attraction (as far as Gen Z is concerned), how does it justify removing the Liberty Belle and Rivers of America?

 

[Quietmouse]

They need to find a way to reboot the muppets ip. I feel like ever since Jim Henson passed away muppets have never been the same and nothing has really lived up to the past quality of the muppets.

Muppetvision isn’t a little liked attraction just because you don’t like it

Very understandable. Hope we get something soon. Lord almighty this is the worst

That’s not the point of the prior post. The point being made is that “puppet show” implies the computation of real time puppetry (think the old Playhouse Disney stage shows for an example), which Muppet Vision doesn’t do (well, beyond Sweetums). The Laugh Floor/Turtle Talk was to say the interactive show context is a closer representation to a theoretical “puppet show” than Muppet Vision 3D.

Yep. Still not a puppet show as a cycled venue. Puppets were filmed. It is a 3D film with various mediums of special effects.

How is the age of technology relevant?

There are many attractions of the world that are enjoyed far more than what is High Tech.

Do you enjoy Mission Space more than Haunted Mansion?

Which do you think is more valuable to its park?

Plenty of latest tech attractions and venues open all of the time and fail to appeal and it does not automatically equate to a balance. Neither does a low-tech attraction automatically make it bad.

This is just point blank inaccurate

Little-liked? Hardly. Stop projecting your irrational hatred of the muppets onto everyone else.

Dude what are you on about? There wouldn’t be an outpour of support and love from people beyond the theme park fandom if the Muppets were old and the attraction “little liked”
