PizzeRizzo announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios - Was: Rumor: Pizza Planet/Mama Melrose closing?

[Mike S]

Do we have any firmer rumors / confirmation on the theming for the Pizza Planet redo?

The writing is on the wall.

Yeah, the things on the construction wall really have a Muppets flavor to them.

 

[note2001]

This is the most exciting point in the development process: when we have a good inkling of what is happening, we see changes in progress, but nothing confirmed verbally or with concept drawings. My imagination is all over the place.

 

[note2001]

Just imagine a basic quick service place with muppet decorations. The final product will likely be just that- although it gives us the option to be surprised. So set expectations accordingly to prevent disappointment.

Party pooper

LOL...I know. But the signs are facing the Muppet building, so they could be themed based on where they are, not what Pizza Planet is becoming.

It feels that normally by now, someone has enough multi-confirmed inside sources to share some additional insight. I'm more curious about this little project than I thought I would be.

My guess is probably as close to anyone else's here. It seems Disney really went out of their way on this. It could've easily been their generic construction wall. The last times I saw something so specific at Disney was NFL phase 1, TT 2.0, and SDMT. Similar themed walls can be found at Uni for Kong, Fallon, and F&F right now. Seems to be the new "it" thing to do. It's a very good assumption imo to say this will be Muppets themed. Could be one of those other small things to better the park besides TSL and SWL.

Muppets are not my favorite, but I have thought they should make the area a mini-land. Pizza Planet was really just a shell of what it should have been.

 

[olie64]

Anyone been by to see if any more construction has taken place?

Disappointment is all the rage since the internet. I continue to be excited by the changes, and, in an unpopular move, continue to enjoy the parks, and all they have to offer. It isn't that Disney can do no wrong, it is just that they continue to do so much right.

 

[House of Power Rangers]

That would be SAD cause at least Pizza Planet that i remember was an AWESOME themed,arcade and pizza place i will miss it if it goes away

 

[Brer Panther]

Maybe the new Muppets restaurant will have a karaoke bar, so guests can relive that scene from "Pig Out".

And occasionally, the Swedish Chef can show up and start singing "Rappers' Delight".

 

[olie64]

Has there been any visible evidence on construction on Pizza Planet?

With pictures? No. But construction is happening. You can actually hear the crew at work during park operating hours. I think they might actually be starting with the bathroom section first, though.

Yeah - I assume that's two totally separate contractors.

 

[nor'easter]

I agree with you on this, Yes Disney can do wrong, but it also the only place in the world that I will literally seek out other positions to pay for a trip there every year. Take in my my wife and I are both teachers. I also have not been disappointed, as stated before, TSL and SWL are the other lands I will have watched with interest from start to finish, so i could be come disappointed but you can bet you money I will continue to go.

I hope you don't teach English!

 

[note2001]

Why would they be different contractors?

I just assumed a plumber doesn't put up dry wall, could be mistaken.

They probably could but just might do a "crappy" job.

Yes, but I was under the impression that Disney hires contract companies which contain a variety of skill sets to do the work, not individuals directly. Of course they wouldn't hire a company that builds restaurants to install a roller coaster, but I see no problem with one contractor having the people for plumbing and drywall.

Okay. Didn't mean this to be a debate.
