Monsters, Inc. Land Announced for Hollywood Studios - Disney Parks Blog

Get details on the new "Monsters, Inc." area at Disney's Hollywood Studios where you can stroll alongside some of your favorite monsters.

That's odd. I had thought it didn't mention a construction date. I admit, it was the middle of the night in UK during the panel, so my tired eyes might have glazed over that

I combed thru all the announcements and thought I was taking careful notes. But, since you bring it up... I can't find where I got the 2027 completion date for the Cars mini-land.

I guess I'll update my list.

Only opening time frames given were from Tropical Americas, Test Track and everything else to be completed or started in the next 5 year.

Was the location for Monsters confirmed yet?

 

[Starship824]

No

 

[Disstevefan1]

No

Good. Hope is not yet lost.

 

[Purduevian]

Not that huge

Can you give an approximate equivalent? I don't think any of us were expecting a show building the size of guardians, but I hope its decently large.

He made a point of mentioning it at the panel. I think it’s safe to say next year.

So the new Villains Show is definitely ruling out Sunset Showcase as a potential new location for either Muppets or Disney Jr, depending on where Monsters is going

I just said this above, but I don’t know why anyone thought Disney would spend the money to move one of these shows to Sunset Showcase.

Same, think it was assumed Lightning McQueen would close because of Cars @ MK, freeing up the space

That’s a fair assumption but Disney has shown us they have no problem repeating IP in multiple parks.

Petition to have Roz to be represented as guests walk into the factory past the paperwork desk to board their “doors”.

Maybe she or Celia could be the preshow? Honestly potential is huge for this coaster.

Have her insult guests like she does on the DCA ride.

Still team Animation Courtyard.

Today's announcement could be strategic. Monsters was slated for Animation, then was shifted to Muppets with Mermaid coming to Animation. Now with the backlash of Muppets closing, Animation is back as the location, but that leaves Mermaid in an awkward spot. So they create a new show as something to draw attention to canceling Mermaid to then be able to announce Monsters location in Animation.

I could easily see that in the queue or in the wait to unload. It could even be the same figure if the DCA ride closes for Avatar

Why would they spend all that money and then cancel mermaid last minute. I still see that mermaid could still come while monsters goes to AC
