Monsters Inc. Land

[Parkscope Joe]

If we don’t get any post D23 news on where Monsters Inc is going this week, I am very hopeful that the project is not replacing something beloved and it’s probably going in animation courtyard. If the Monster Inc project was replacing something beloved, like Muppet Vision, I would assume we would get an announcement this week similar to the Rivers of America news.

I think we’ll hear more next week.

So where is this going?

Do you think muppets is getting replaced?

Lots of choices for placement.

Behind Animation Building
Between Animation Building & RNRC to leave Animation Courtyard for future expansion space. Pathway connected through Sunset Blvd's Farmers Market, with an eventual path connection to Animation Courtyard. Smaller land, but doesn't appear their goal is to make it too huge.



Animation Building Full Replacement
Provides opportunity to have access from Sunset Blvd and into Animation Courtyard

Muppets Replacement
Fits well, without replacing much infrastructure (Mama Melrose/PizzeRizzo kitchens & bathrooms). Ride building can extend into cast parking.


Edit: Rumors swirling around Liberty Square being overtaken by Muppets... god help us

I think Laugh Floor could help DHS a ton. That's a solid show that people really seem to enjoy, myself included.

Little Mermaid and Disney Junior will have to go at some point, but I'm hoping for growth at this park too. The Door Coaster doesn't seem like it will help the family crowd issues plaguing Toy Story Land and M&M. We need a lot of little things to do for families. It's still crazy to me that they didn't take the opportunity with Toy Story Land to install a bunch of flats like they have in other parks, because that would be a legitimate and cheaper answer to this problem.

Not even just families, either.

Stuff -- significant stuff of value -- to do for people who don't want to spend all day in seven or eight 90+ minute lines.

I’ve heard things.

I have no inside info but tell me this doesn't look like the existing archway entrance of the animation building:

See I thought it looked like Launch Bay. But Alicia’s post on the Lighting McQueen building - especially its height and shape changed my mind.

They shot themselves in the foot so much. Legit squandered everything they had going for them. Momentum gone.

 

[Stripes]

It’s going into Animation Courtyard.

Not so confident in light of new info.

 

[Sneakman]

we sure need a #savethejamboree moment right now.

 

[belloq87]

Disney just needs to confirm where it's going and end this speculation, which isn't doing anybody any good.

If it's Animation Courtyard, they'll earn back a lot of goodwill. If it's Muppets, well, better to just let this be the bad news week instead of spilling over into another week and creating another unpleasant news cycle.

Just move the damn thing to magic eye or something.

I think the in-theater effects and AAs would make it expensive to move to another venue.

It would actually be wild. If they put this in Muppets, they would completely flip all the excitement fans are having lol.

It'd be like if Universal announced a brand new Ghostbusters ride but it was replacing ET

 

[Sneakman]

I’d be fine with this somewhat if we were getting something muppets in return. And yeah HOP, but the muppets should have an actual, physical, dark ride. Muppet movie ride in echo lake. Make it interactive if you need to.

The wider theme park visiting public would not be up in arms over this trade.

But when the daily Hollywood Studios experience continues to be miserable and hectic because everything is a hassle (or an extra fee) to get into, overall satisfaction is not going to increase.

Attractions on the scale of Muppet*Vision are so important in a theme park roster.

I just don’t think attractions like Muppet Vision attract enough guests for them to serve as a release valve. I hear you, and think the solution at DHS is to create more areas that are pleasant to spend time in because right now it’s the ugliest park at the resort and offers the grimmest vibes.

But Star Tours, Mickey and Minnie, Smugglers Run and (to a degree) Midway Mania all offer D-Ticket and lower experiences that help mitigate big draws like Tower of Terror, Rise, Rock n Roller Coaster and (in the future) Monsters.
