News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[James Alucobond]

Despite the footprint being inefficiently utilized, I think TSL is actually sufficiently attraction-dense. What it needs is an elaborate playground since DHS currently lacks that entirely and it could potentially kill two birds with one stone by adding more adjacent theming to Slinky Dog and making more of the land feel explorable. It would probably also be logistically easier to puzzle in than a traditional attraction, and the subject matter is obviously a gold mine for interesting play structures.

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.

That was mine

Heard a few whispers that after Dino closes it may get rethemed and moved over to Muppets.

Rethemed to what? Seems odd for Muppets

I have no idea, daredevil Gonzo maybe?

Muppet Labs can easily have a flying contraption. Think the shape that Beaker and Bunsen used to ride around in. Seems cramped.over there though.

 

[Starship824]

Putting Triceratops Spin in TSL would be ideal it's wayyy easier than muppets.

I suppose it could be Gonzo's Flying Chickens.

I’ll actually buy into the theory this supports Monsters Inc and is a bit of a last minute pivot. I guess we’ll see shortly how it is retooled. I also wonder if we’ll see the entrance moved to right by the stairs on Mickeys Avenue. That would be quite telling.

If we wanna get technical about it, it doesn’t fit Toy Story Land since it’s Andy’s Backyard and Trixie is Bonnie’s toy

 

[Marc Davis Fan]

Putting the spinner in TSL would allow it to be themed as some sort of toy, and fit nicely.

Putting it Grand Park would break the "downtown Los Angeles" theme that they've slowly built up there over the years (the new Muppets "Grand Arts Theatre" sign, the redesigned Grand Avenue fronts, Baseline Tap House, Ice Cold Hydraulics...). Unless, of all ironies, they "pull a Dino-Rama" and theme it to a festival in downtown Los Angeles... but please no.

 

[The Leader of the Club]

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.

I've always wanted a lounge with an animatronic Rowlf playing the piano and singing. Put him in Baseline and I'm sold.

I know this is being discussed in the Little Mermaid thread but it’s obvious it’s super relevant here as well. Did anyone read that delay as they are doing this delay to prepare for Monsters to move in closely by the new Little Mermaid show?

Personally, I’m fine if they don’t even open the Little Mermaid show and in exchange we get a grand Monstropolis land that uses most of that space. How are we feeling about Muppets as well?

 

[Bocabear]

I would be fine with them putting the Little Mermaid show into another theater space... Like the Mickey Shorts theater or the Frozen Sing along thing... Leave the AC open to develop that space into something meaningful....

The funniest timeline is the one where Mermaid goes to replace Muppets, and Monsters replaces Animation Courtyard. Thus, Monsters replaces both.

(I’m aware that the Muppets theater is too small for Mermaid)

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.

better menu and food is what they need to fix and focus on here.

 

[mattpeto]

If Monsters goes into AC and buildings will truly be demo'ed, I wonder if they build a new building for kitchen sparing all the current restaurants at DHS.

 

[Moth]

So we're all in agreements it's AC now over here? Very cool that this is going to be a genuine addition to DHS, something it's been needing for a long time. I am curious how much of AC will be used ON Monsters though.
