They gave the Dinosaur the whole year and told us of their plans to retheme the land over a year ago yet they didn't tell us about Muppets until 6 months beforehand? It's still gross they didn't just tell us at D23 what this was replacing, at least this is more notice than what Six Flags gave King Da Kah... which was nothing.

I’m still curious about what the afformentioned “creative conversations about preservation” will turn out to be, if anything? I would’ve been sure they would’ve announced it the same day as the closing date.

Hope it’s something and not lip service.

The fresh smell of cost cutting.

I had the timeline completely wrong.

Thought RnR first.

Think about it, both Rock n Rollercoaster and Tough to be a Bug will outlive MuppetVision 3D. What a weird version of the time line we live on.

I knew it was coming but this is a tough one!!! Love love love MV3D!!! Thankfully i will be able to properly say my good byes in February…also made a reservation at Mamas for dinner on my HS day.

It's probably just going on Disney Plus sadly. I really hope the villains show has a limited run so Muppets can move in but it seems unlikely at this point.

I think if it was simply going on Disney+ and it was deciced, it would’ve been announced today along with the closure to soften the blow or some thing. Unless I’m reading into it too much, maybe they haven’t decided yet? It’s probably not moving somewhere, but maybe imagineering is fighting about it?

Ugh, they're going to make me visit DHS in the first half of the year. Guess I can always park at DHS and take the Skyliner to EPCOT. Not much I care to do in DHS, but for Muppets, I must.

I was hoping they'd just have a maze of construction walls. I've grown used to them.

While it's unfortunate that's happening to Muppets, it makes sense. Look at today's average guest and some of the posters on this board. They don't care about Muppets much

Is it really cost cutting if they're building a massive roller coaster and retheming the whole land? Wouldn't the cost cutting measure be to just close Muppets with no plan to replace it like with Rivers of Light for example.

We’re lucky that we’re even getting muppets rnrc at all. Though I do think Len testa mentioned something about “other mupppet projects at imagineering being in development” on these boards a while ago

Yes, it is still cost cutting. The reason people didn’t expect the closures so soon is because they have a whole building to build. The scope of work for the existing buildings isn’t so much that will take as long as the coaster. Closing now when the work won’t take as long means they’ve cut the operating expenses for the time being. They’re still silent on the new show which isn’t great evidence that they actually know what they’re doing with the theater.

Remember it’s not over till it’s over there’s still hope!

We’re “Movin' Right Along”

It’s okay everybody, the coke stand is safe!

 

[Casper Gutman]

So the theater will sit empty for three or four years, if not forever.

And people still believe the RnRC “announcements.”

Disney is trash.
