News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[RSoxNo1]

I agree and in an ideal world they would find a way to make the Muppets IP relevant to modern audiences but sadly it will likely get replaced with zootopia or some other nonsense.

We did an armchair Imagineering episode on our show about this topic. My suggestion that I do think is actually viable is a Muppets takeover of Sci Fi Dine-In and the taphouse. It puts the Muppets behind a pay wall, but gives them an in park presence.

Swedish Chef's restaurant, Dorg Schnorfblorp Horganblorps, and Fozzie Beer?

I'd hate to lose Sci-Fi -- it and and the 50s Prime Time Cafe are two of the only remaining locations from the original park that are interesting and fully themed inside and out instead of only having a themed facade (like most of Hollywood Boulevard).

Muppets vs. Animation Courtyard. I suspect that if it ultimately goes into Animation Courtyard that probably only buys Muppets 5 more years. They are clearly looking to re-develop that space.

I really enjoy MV3D. I'm even wearing a costume themed to it for the Wine and Dine 5K. With that said, I don't mind if they remove MV and put something else in it's place. What I do mind is the thematic cohesion between areas. It fits better where other animated properties are, not in between Indiana Jones and Star Wars. It's just not right there.

Sci-Fi might be my favorite restaurant on property -- no reason to touch it, except to maybe add a few extra clips / cartoons / etc into the movie rotation.

I like the museum and show, but They could always move it back to the original location of the Walt Disney Story on Main Street and open that space up for redevelopment...

In my opinion, I think they should replace NBA Experience building with a giant Walt Disney museum with occasional interactive exhibits, the one man's dream film, ect. That would be such a great addition to Disney Springs... And would also give a LOT of space for archive things to be on displayed and would be almost minimal to operate, while still charging an extra fee.

Feels like a no brainer to me.

So we got a news cycle and... Nothing about closures to Muppets or Launch Bay. Curious.


Wondering what the Mermaid delays means if anything at all.

Left field prediction: Monsters takes over AC and Little Mermaid kills Muppets and we get Ariel’s Awesome Area (trademark pending) with a Chef Louis themed Seafood joint.

I don't think TLM is an IP Disney would double down on. I know this is likely a joke.

I’m thinking they are moving things around now and AC will become monsters. The delay is definitely suspicious.

I mean they say they're doing new facade work...maybe a queue reroute and a more cohesive theme on the side for Monsters land....

One of our new proven peeps @TheCoasterNerd has said for Muppet fans to not give up hope, hm, I think we're safe. They're obviously starting to play around with AC to put things in order before construction starts.

I don't expect an official announcement on what's closing until we're well, closer to the date construction starts. But I feel relatively reassured it's AC, even despite what height balloons have been spotted.

I wonder if the rumors of Triceratops Spin being relocated to Muppets will come true?

Haven't heard the Triceratops rumour that would be such an easy win but Disney is gonna Disney. I really think with the new LM show, Villans show, Indy, Frozen, and eventually a BATB replacement, Studios will be in really good shape entertainment-wise.

Each park needs at least 5 Little Mermaid experiences.

Each park also needs Chef Louis’ Les Poissons Cafe.

The Triceratops rumor was... I think it wasn't Henry's rumor but it might've been? I hadn't heard it myself but I remember it being talked about.

Replace Bippity Boppity Boutique with Vanessa's Vanity!

I don't remember seeing it rumored. I do remember people saying it would be a no-brainer for Disney to add it to Toy Story Land and retheme it to Trixie, but think that was all armchair imagineering

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

A simple flat ride is needed back there - Disney needs to remember that kids visit too. They just lost the cars show (geared for young kids) and of course the honey I shrunk playground that used to be in that area near muppets is long gone.

A muppet themed flat ride would bring in some nice energy to that courtyard and help revive the area.

 

[duncedoof]

Took a nice, long break. Tell me, what have I missed on this since the announcement? Any further updates / hints on where this goes?

It's just hard to find a good place to put it in TSL because the land was so poorly designed.
