DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[GoofGoof]

All this is good info but til we know where monsters is going there is no need to panic. It’s In the works **

Unrelated. I'm sure it's only a matter of time before they start selling merchandise of Muppet Vision after the ride has closed. They did this with the Movie Ride briefly. This is just insulting.

Thing is, though, with Stitch... a lot of people just like the way he looks and that's why they buy plushes etc. rather than caring about the IP itself.

Stitch looks like Toothless from “How to Train Your Dragon” cause it was the same character designer.

The character designer for both Stitch (from Lilo & Stitch) and Toothless (from How to Train Your Dragon) is Chris Sanders. He created Stitch and was heavily involved in the development of How to Train Your Dragon, including the design of Toothless, alongside Dean DeBlois.

For sure. They may even continue to sell it over by the Rockin Muppet Coaster area long after MV3D is gone.

Especially since several major parks projects with the Muppets feature bits directly lifted from MuppetVision. Great Moments had Piggy singing “by the light of the silvery moon” with the “not the sun but the moon” accompaniment from Gonzo as well as the “what foolishness would you like to see” line. Regal Eagle’s whole deal is that it’s “a salute to all cookouts, but mostly barbecue.”

Muppet Vision will live on forever…..at least in t-shirts

A salute to all things Muppet*Vision 3D .... my mostly merchandising

I want a shirt that says “I traveled all the way to Florida to see Muppet Vision 3D and all I got was this lousy t-shirt”

This screams rizzo.

Now I want an official shirt of Rizzo dressed as Mickey that says “they’re tourists, what do they know?”

LOL! I actually had a button made from Etsy featuring Rizzo dressed as Mickey from the show with that exact text. I wore the button in the parks.

Replace Rizzo with Iger and I'll buy one

 

[Incomudro]

The creature stall has a window like that

Yes, but there is not enough of things like this to make GE appear alive.

Did y'all see the booking.com commercial with the Muppets? It might have been a super bowl one, not sure (we didn't watch), but I saw it for the first time last night.

But also they found that they couldn't do the expansion construction effectively and efficiently without being too close to where guests exit the current show. Could they build/reroute that? Sure but figure easiest and best path is just close it and get going in fullness on the work

Copying to the more relevant thread.

Rise of the Resistance is still going to be closer to the building than the coaster. Do you seriously believe they’re going to have Cypress Dr rerouted, the parking lot reconfigured and all other site work done in 4 months? There’s even utilities infrastructure that was put in place for Galaxy’s Edge that needs to be relocated before any major new work can begin near the guest areas. There’s a bunch of work that needs to happen outside the park.

Yeah, it debuted during the Superbowl the Big Game

I think they want to demo stage one ASAP. I believe that’s why we’re seeing the Muppets Courtyard close as early as it is.

Why? What would be the rush to demolish the store all of a sudden especially since according to the art it doesn’t look like anything is directly replacing it?

In DAK, "Tropical America" isn't a single-IP land. Indy and Encanto are not in the same universe

Depends on what fan theories you buy into

 

[Agent H]

Umm... there are counter-examples.

The Cars ride looks like an IP land, but, it's just the outdoor track of a single ride (and it's junior flat ride sitting in the middle of it). It's not like BTMRR is being converted into a Cars-franchise ride in order to create a mini-land.

In DAK, "Tropical America" isn't a single-IP land. Indy and Encanto are not in the same universe.

TRON didn't get a 'TRON Land' surrounded by TRON-themed attractions (tho, it would have been cool if Speedway was rethemed to TRON Racers).

There is no Guardians-land surrounding Cosmic Rewind.

And this Monsters Coaster is only getting a show and a few shops. It's not like there are the usual two or three rides. Is a courtyard a 'land'?

I agree with your point but Disney will 100 percent market it as a monsters inc. land
