The Status of Muppet*Vision 3D

[TrainsOfDisney]

Thinking back towards muppets... what if there could be a tour of muppet studios, like the people mover, that could be incorporated into the various buildings (both existing, and ones that should be there for other muppet attractions). How fun could that be.

can we get that moved to a forum that people look at... I know I personally have never looked at the chit chat forum

either general or even imagineer

I started it in Chit Chat because it was to be a non-Disney architecture thread. But if it would be more useful to discuss architecture in the context of Disney I'm all for it. If a mod wants it moved, by all means.

Off-topic over.

Here are some pics of this area from my quick trip this past Saturday 3/9.

Here you can see behind the trees on the right. This gray area was the old mural.

Went back to the beginning of this thread and noticed the facade behind the gates in this pic. Anyone know what it's for? I don't remember ever seeing it before but I doubt it's a new building.

It's an old building that used to blend in with the area and the Streets of America next door. Not really sure what its purpose is there now, since it detracts from both GE and Grand Avenue

It was formally used for Phineas & Ferb's Meet & Greet a few years ago..

Yes, I remember that. I wonder if they are just leaving it so they can have filler to hide the outside world/parking lot.

Disney store in Tennessee has all the main character plushies for muppets babies

Is monsters Inc such a strong IP that it replaces the Muppets

Yep I think so, its made much more money than the Muppets recent endeavors.

Yep, it has done Monster numbers and has been much, much better than The Muppets. Who've been not only doing bad at the movies, but also on TV as well.

Muppets Most Wanted made 80.4 million USD

Monsters University made 744.2 million USD

I do think it could be an easy transformation from Muppets to Monsters. This area already has the city look from its "Streets of America" days that was in the first movie.

I read a rumor somewhere that Monstropolis may move into the Muppets section. I can't remember where though.

Nope.

 

[Pam Hates Penguins]

Nope.

Wasn't there a rumor somewhere that suggested the Monsters Inc coaster replacing RNRC though?

 

[Pam Hates Penguins]

Yep, that is one of the most talked about Monsters Inc rumors. I just don't see how it makes sense though. Especially with a Cars attraction right next to it.

It depends on how temporary the Racing Academy is.

Temporary.

Temporary.

So, would this become a new themed Land or just a ride overlay this part of the area?

It could work as Temp Laugh Floor.

I don't know. I think if the Laugh Floor goes it won't come back at all. But that's just my theory.

So far as I know the flex theatre will stay just that.

 

[WondersOfLife]

So far as I know the flex theatre will stay just that.

So just about as flexible as the Magic Eye is, and probably just about as temporary as Captain EO?

Maybe they are testing the waters to see if DHS will get Cars Land????
