News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Just cause you hate the Muppets doesn’t mean the rest of us do. Quite frankly, there would not be as much support for them in the past week if they were as washed up and old news you claim they are.

Cars is going where it is in large part to give them the access they want to Villains and to finally resolve the BTMRR dead end.

Kind of… there were other solutions.

 

[Starship824]

Splash Mountain got several petitions denouncing its removal. Did that move the needle? No. We still got a piece-of-crap replacement.

Then why do you want to get rid of the muppets?

This is absolutely disgusting and it shows you, not only have no respect for the art, but also have no respect for human decency.

It’s one thing to simply not care if an attraction stays, but to say “it should’ve died with him” is abhorrent and is not the type of thing that should be tolerated. I’m not going to sit around on a DISNEY forum and watch someone say that something should’ve died with its creator while the many people who were moved, touched, and impacted by the creation are voicing concern.

I hope a moderator or someone comes on here and sees this disgusting comment and decides to rightfully boot you from the forum.

And for those who are inevitably gonna start with me, this ISN’T Splash Mountain because Muppets isn’t based on a movie so problematic that it was racist for 1940’s standards!

Yes, but the area was always going to change in some capacity as a dependency of northwestern expansion. The Monsters coaster is not a dependency of any future work regardless of where it goes.

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

What app is this?

See, to me, the most important thing is them vacating and tearing down the animation office building. If they do that, it’s a commitment to building something there in the near future. I’m less concerned if it’s Monsters now or Zootopia later or whatever but it needs to be something to an actually expand the park and increase the offerings.

So I take this a good sign regardless of Monsters.

Best case scenario - and yes I’m asking for the world here: Monsters takes over muppets, but reutilizes the theatre for a new show. Muppets still get a new presence. A better animation courtyard replacement with a family friendly, non-height restricted attraction follows 1-2 years later, but perhaps was just a bit too early to bring to D23.

Worst case scenario is Monsters takes over muppets and there is no replacement show and no Animation Courtyard project. DHS actually loses family friendly capacity.

So: what does everyone think is going to happen?

The sun will rise tomorrow.

Something disgruntling.

See this:


That being said, seems to me that if you build new parking elsewhere (e.g. on the other side of World Drive), you can remove the parking deck next to TSL and use that footprint for any essentially park functions that "need to be" inside the park while moving the offices and other stuff displaced to other locations. That would put all the backstage stuff next to Cypress Drive and open up a lot of space for true expansion and a connection to the RNR area.

So, based on that, would this be correct?
1) would need to stay
2&3) would need to be backstage somewhere, either in their current location, or moved elsewhere
4&5) could be moved outside of the park area

I dunno man I think the muppets are gonna stay

 

[SirLink]

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?

Muppets has high GSR, TSI and LB have low GSR. Simples.

Would they really announce it on a random Sunday?

This is just point blank inaccurate

I've been away from the forums for a while, but have come back, pulled in by this and other recent news. I forgot I had blocked certain members years ago, including Magenta Panther. Still a good decision, apparently.

 

[danlb_2000]

What? This is the first time I've ever heard of this.

I do remember that being discussed at the time

CRACK A WINDOW OPEN WILL YA

 

[EPICOT]

This is where I’m at as well. From my end it sounds like the decision is made. I have it on very good authority that the offices are being cleared out as we speak. Also hearing that while Muppets isn’t safe long term in the short term the grand ave area will be getting some muppet themed enhancements that may or may not include a rethemed Triceratops Spin.

So basically, if yall want more muppets in the park we need to show Disney that muppets can be a profitable IP and frequent this area should these muppets enhancements happen.

Surprised no one is mentioning this rumor of another flat ride coming to DHS. If a Muppets-themed spinner is added to the Courtyard, this could help solidify the Muppets presence at DHS. Even if they currently have plans to remove the area and MV, I tend to think Disney will default to the laziest, cheapest option, which is to just let it stay longer than you would think.

Maybe I'm too optimistic, but I think that if MV survives this attempt at its life, it will be here another ~10 years.

They have the infrastructure they want at Grand Avenue for the Monsters land.

Would it be cheaper than bulldozing AC and just move Muppets to a new theater?
