Ironically, even ignoring the Muppets, the SOA area does have an attraction -- it's just that the Premiere Theater sits unused most of the time. It would be nice if they put a permanent show there (personally, I think putting a PatF how there would be perfect given as the movie is set in America and you could possible add some New Orleans theming to the area and/or convert Mama Melrose to a Cajan/Creole theme restaurant to go along with it).
Yeah, I've long thought that. Pizza Planet is a great idea for a restaurant in Pixar Place (hopefully more cosely resembling the one in the movie) and putting it where Studio Catering Co is as part of a Pixar Place expansion would be a no brainer IMHO.
Then the current Pizza Planet could be rethemed to something with the Muppets, like a Swedish Chef restaurant.

Well, technically, Avatar has already started. As far as which will finish first, that's a complete toss-up at the moment. If the company throws money at a major project, they could have it done in 12-24 months. Or they could do it in phases. Or they could follow SOP and drag it out. Too early to gauge at the moment.

Unfortunately, I think most people identify Streets Of America with New York Street.
The area around the perimeter is fine (Muppets, Pizza Planet, Mama Melrose, Premiere Theater, Phineas & Ferb) but New York Street (while beautiful) is severely lacking.
They need to find a way to add life to New York Street.

As a fan of the website, Hypable, I came across this article today...
http://www.hypable.com/2013/06/14/star-wars-theme-park-cars-land-hollywood-studios/
It talks about DHS removing the Muppet and Honey I Shrunk shows in order to build a Star Wars "land." This was "confirmed" by Theme Park Insider.
Thoughts? Is this real? It makes sense to me. It is also a fantastic way to combat the Wizarding World...

A quick scan of the board would have shown you this was brought up yesterday.
I looked all over! Sorry, I must have missed it! Hah… thank you!

Rebel Force radio is a very respected Star Wars fan podcast. The hosts are extremely well connected all the way up to the top of Lucasfilm.
They are reporting similar news, but not the same as Theme Park Insider. According to RFR the presence will be expanded into the Cast Member Parking lot behind the current Indiana Jones Stunt Show. Which does make geographic sense. Their source also stated that Pixar will take over the back portion of the park eliminating the “dead areas behind Muppets.”
They were not able to share specifics other than “the presence will be expanded into new land.”

I'm VERY happy right now! We are having Star Wars Land and Cars Land!!!!! THIS IS AMAZING!
Don't count your chickens before they hatch.
I hear they're retheming the entire resort to Star Wars.

Have they made any comments on this rumor yet? Remember they are not directly connected to the TheForce.net anymore.

While I know that this is a joke, I'd totally stay at the All Star Star Wars resort (or would that be All Star Wars?). Or the Naboo Deluxe Villas.

If they do either stars or cars project, it would probably mean how many years of construction? Its taking like 3-5 just to do the mine train, it feels like anyway.

What are you saying?
1.) Playgrounds aren't supposed to be a crowd-sucker and I always see kids running into HISTK
2.) Muppet-Vision to this day, still packs up the theater for the shows

Disney bought Oswald in 2006.The Pink Panther is a dead franchise too.
If you're referring to Oswald, he's an actual Disney creation, not an wrong-headed acquisition, and given his pedigree, he's much more relevant to Disney and WDW than the Muppets ever will be. Look, I understand the nostalgia, but IMO the Muppet attraction is as dated as the Jungle Cruise and needs to go. It's not pulling in the tourists, the merch doesn't sell well (which is why the dedicated Muppet store sells mostly Mickey stuff now), so if it's slated for replacement for something new, then good. JMHO.

Yes, that is what I posted. A synopsis of their latest comments on the rumor. Supposedly, they had "confirmed" the rumor with their own sources.
They have better connections than the guys at TFN.
