My understanding was MuppetVision turns into a monsters show & they push out into the parking lot for the coaster show building. Turning PizzaRizzo into the Harry Hausens. Honestly I can understand the appeal from their perspective, especially if they have future plans elsewhere for the muppets.

Would the show replacing MuppetVison basically be a scaled up version of Laugh Floor or something different altogether?

The thing with Muppets, and why I do think it’s a bigger loss than ROA, is that it’s the last creative work of Jim Henson and his last performance as Kermit the Frog. The River doesn’t hold that kind of historical significance.

Maybe not Disney creative significance.

The Liberty Belle and RoA however are historically significant in terms of MK. Frontierland and Liberty Square are rooted in periods of American history and RoA is too.

Plus TSI was something that Walt cared about and dreamed up.

It’s not the business of the Walt Disney Company to maintain a shrine to Americana.

Walt Disney World’s Rivers of America is not historically significant just because it represents America. It doesn’t contribute to the cultural conversation, it is merely a reflection of it.

MuppetVision, even if you aren’t a Muppet fan, is the last work of one of the great creative minds of the 20th century. Getting rid of it would be like erasing the last Dr. Seuss book or the last Marilyn Monroe film.

I think they should both stay! I like shrines to Americana and shrines to Jim Henson!

The flaw here is refusing to replace a terrible area that is rarely used and no one wants around, making it go from a surefire great park addition to at best a parallel to slight downgrade for the park by removing a ride that shouldn't be removed.

But where will all those vital back of house people go? Other than, you know, the countless miles of unused and underutilized spaces throughout WDW property.

ROA is replacing the backbone theme for multiple lands for a large dirtfield with a high maintenance, unproven atv system in Florida weather that breaks the theme entirely and looks regional theme park tier. Losing Muppets might be a park downgrade, but Cars taking the theme out of the theme park has a good chance to be the worst mistake in WDW history.

Completely agree.

RoA getting the axe is a good idea.

Even as a Monsters Inc fan, I don’t wanna see MuppetVision go.

In my mind, one is clearly a worse idea than the other. RoA can be found all over the world (better versions of it too), but this is the last MuppetVision. And while no it isn’t Disney’s job to maintain a shrine to Henson, there is at the moment no real reason to get rid of it when there’s a better place just right across the way.

I think they're both awful ideas. The RoA is a better one if you want to expand capacity at MK (although still terrible) but removing muppets actively hurts DHS as a park by removing an attraction without a height requirement and putting in a roller coaster and sandwiching it in between Star Wars is even more braindead.

Since both RoA and Muppets will be destroyed, no one will be happy except TWDC as they will have more attractions that will require folks to purchase more LLs.

Disney wins again.

Is there a limit to permits, IE permits need to be filed x amount of days before construction in Orange County. Cause to be honest I feel we'll hear from permits before Disney makes anything official on where.

I hope the Parks Blog does what it did in December 2018, where every day they provided an update on a park project worldwide in the lead up to Christmas. If not, it'll probably be 2025 when we hear anything new

What we see here are notices of commencement even though we call the permits. NOCs are filed when work is about to start, so could laterally be filed the day before. If it needs water management permits, those are generally filed a few months ahead.
