News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[MisterPenguin]

When other Disney Park people are overly positive, why don't we call them shills or excuse-makers?

Oh they do. Do you not read these forums?

Even when they're moderately positive, they get called dusters and shills.

Liking just one thing that the mob hates is enough to be branded a shill.

What a personal kick to the nuts to lose Muppetvision, something folks of all ages and ride ability can enjoy, to be replaced by a thrill ride many won't enjoy, and moving Muppets to a thrill ride that, again, will not be enjoyed by people that don't like thrill rides. But a win for people who love thrill rides.

I have a really difficult time thinking of a compelling show, based on this property, that would provide a significant draw/boost capacity

Here's an idea: The Monsters want to increase their laughing reach and so they decide to record comedy routines to show through the doors. And then they decide they want it to be in 3D....

That idea should not be put out in the world….even if it’s just a joke . I do think it’s easy to have RnRC (and show building next to it) area as a mini muppets land and keep ToT unchanged. The Muppets can blend in most places so they fit fine in a Hollywood themed area even if the timeline doesn’t quite work. Aerosmith were also not around in the 1930s so nothing worse than what we have today as far as timelines.

I do hope they decide to move the whole MuppetVision show in its entirety next to RnRC but if not maybe it will at least be a quality new Muppets show. There is probably not room in that area for a full restaurant or large gift shop but maybe some food carts with a few tables and a small outside retail area in addition to the RNRC gift shop. Maybe even squeeze in the fountain or even better an outdoor show scene in the courtyard area replacing the lightning McQueen stuff. Maybe to keep with the rock theme, a covered stage with a Muppet AA band playing some popular songs.

I’m happy to see the Muppets getting a place in the parks and Aerosmith is no great loss. Losing the original ToT would be for me. That ride should never be touched.

To me, Muppets ToT is seamless. The characters can fit right in. Just redo the film to have muppets instead of people. It would also be less scary (not that it is), and more family friendly. Gonzo and Rizzo do the pre-show, Miss Piggy and others are the guests who are zapped.

Asbestos is only really dangerous when it's disturbed, like during demolition. Installed asbestos is usually not a major issue (although as I said above I'd be very surprised if there was any asbestos left at Disney World anyways, and there probably wasn't much to begin with other than parts of the Magic Kingdom).

Most of world showcase is asbestos

I like the new look better, the parking lot vibes were not good.

Dis twitter acting like this is the end of the world.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Ah, more replacements instead of adding capacity. Though I love Disney is taking their Rock and Rollercoaster retheme ideas from this site.

Did you not count a new coaster that is not replacing anything?

This blatant click bait is disgusting.

Placeholder art for sure. There will be no MILFs in that area.

They tend to drink around EPCOT during bachelorette parties

 

[Chip Chipperson]

The fact that those-who-know are not coming in to shoot down a TOT overhaul while stating projects elsewhere will come much later suggests…a TOT overhaul. Someone tell Ariana Grande.

November 2024 can p*** off.

Rapunzel's Tower of Terror coming in 2026!

Fingers crossed that Zootopia takes over the animation courtyard

And I think when the sequel comes out and it does well, they will announce this. And then people will be happy. I think the big picture for DHS looks bright.

You're far away from home, aren't you Laugh Floor?

This is where they should relocate that to and put something else in the current MILF location.

Rapunzel's Tower of Terror coming in 2026!

It could be the site of a new Villains attraction with a new villain falling off it every 15 minutes!

I feel like adding Alien and Planet of the Apes to DHS would be a great way to set it apart from MK

 

[TheDisneyParksfanC8]

Also them choosing not to touch Animation Courtyard makes me believe those rumors about them saving that area for Marvel, and them trying to get through rights back

With rumors that Universal is developing a replacement for MSHI, perhaps them getting Marvel back for WDW isn't that far fetched.

Food for thought: I wonder if the rumor about MSHI being replaced is accurate, I wonder if that replacement could be something related to Wicked considering how that movie is likely to do gangbusters at the box office.

Here's a look at the new concept art for Monsters, Inc. land:

It's too bad there is no access to SW:GE back near the factory. This will just create a mess with exiting people going back against the incoming people.

The show component is honestly what confuses me the most about this project. I’m happy to be proven wrong, but I have a really difficult time thinking of a compelling show, based on this property, that would provide a significant draw/boost capacity beyond what Muppets would still be able to do with increased foot traffic going past it (which I’d argue the same for with the Dino conversion). Especially with the marketing that (barring this show being out of left field impressive) will likely not even be remotely focused on the show, instead highlighting the coaster and land as a whole.

With how standalone the theater is in these plans, it feels like they really could have done everything except the show swap, save themselves some money, and placate fans.

Maybe to your point but Monsters could have enjoy Muppets too. Kermit put together a show in a gulag.

High schooler here. When I told my friends about this this morning, they all knew who the Electric Mayhem are. Only a couple had heard of Aerosmith, and even fewer actually liked them.

My kids watched Muppets Mayhem on D+ and actually really liked it. I'm sure they are not alone in that experience.

I guess I'm letting the website formerly known as Twitter cloud my judgement, lol.
