I really do think that the imagination institute should become a Muppets lab pavilion. And then make Figment and Dreamfinder a really epic 4D attraction in the theatre next door.
Then the muppets mobile lab could have a designated spot over there.
I’ve said this before. I just like to repeat myself.

I agree!
Though I do not understand why they chose to build SWGE where they did leaving a Star Wars attraction all by itself with no connection... They honestly should have demolished the entire Muppets area and built Galaxy's Edge in that space....then Star Tours becomes your transportation to the Galaxy's Edge...and you exit right into the new land...VS a gift shop, then walk through Muppet square to get to the entrance to Galaxy's edge...

Pigs In Space...lol
Gonzo Animatronic flying the shuttle...You crash land in the Muppet Studios and exit into the Muppet Courtyard... Go back to the original idea of the Swedish Chef running a crazy Muppets themed restaurant (Where Mama Melrose is now) tear down the Rizzo Pizza place, add a muppets themed spinner of some or Balloon ride and a couple snack stands and voila...A better realized Muppet Studios area...

There is a Star Wars Pigs in Space episode. It’s very.... interesting. Ha.
That wouldn't make an ounce of sense. Why demolish two areas with large franchise tentpole attractions, when SWGE can be built right next to it, and expand into unused land with zero attractions? As if Studios wasn't bad enough imagine it going without Star Tours and MV3D these last few years.

Wasn’t the original plan to expand into the parking lot / Indy land using star tours as 1 of the anchor attractions? That made a lot of sense in my book.
I feel like the Millennium Falcon is going to be star tours 2.0 in some ways....

Yes exactly! That was the first plan that was discussed...they cleared out the parade warehouses and everything...

you would have lost Muppet Vision... but not Star Tours... since all the construction would have been in back of it. and you are right...the park cannot afford to lose any attractions....which is why they could have moved Muppets over to Animation courtyard before they demolished the area...Now it is more confusing with Star Tours by itself, and the muppets sandwiched between it and the rest of the Star Wars franchise.
Yes, and a dumb one. RnRC are cars on tracks. The Monstropolis "Doors Coaster" would have been hanging seats like Pan. Totally incompatible.
That said, A Monstropolis land in DHS was a consideration, but is now indefinitely shelved. Which means it can come back, but insiders say there is no current plan to bring it back as an option, for now.

I definitely agree they put SWGE in the wrong spot. Should have gone behind Indy/Star Tours.

I feel like this just needs to be saved on the front page of the news/rumors forum; ‘Monstropolis is not happening right now, scare again later’

This actually is an idea that was considered for Grand Avenue. Unfortunately, the catwalks behind the buildings do not meet the safety standards the company needs in order to perform a live show in the modern day. Modifications would be cost prohibitive.
Muppet Babies would have been AMAZING to see in Disney Jr. Live on Stage. Unfortunately, the opening of Dance Party in California showed WDW that they could significantly cut the number of performers a day and save a lot of money if they installed the new show. Now they did go from two actor/singers a day to 4 singer/actors a day, however they went from 12 puppeteers a day to 4 characters - a significant cost saving decision. Dance Party is also lacking the costly puppets and props that required constant maintenance. It was such a shame to lose that puppet stage...

Well... they can't. Years ago Disney was asked to permanently retire the full body Muppet characters. I can't remember if it was by the Jim Henson Company when they still owned them or Muppet Studios... Regardless, those in charge of the brand image at Muppet Studios will probably never allow full body Muppets ever again. The obvious exceptions are the Muppets who already are full body puppets such as Sweetums or Thog - which could still be used to make a cute show.

I guess this is why we see them in their puppet forms during the former voulentEAR parade and Great moments in History..Makes me optomistic of seeing them in other windows down the road at the studios..If they ever go that route..
