[@ThemeParkZilver]

I wouldn't say that Monster's Inc. as a franchise is unwanted. (A whole miniland is excessive for a single ride but that is true for literally any Disney brand.) The ride that is in Japan is consistently one of the longest lines in the main park. Now, if Pro has insider knowledge of what the ride will be that is another story. (Once again going back to what I have been saying about Disney over promising and under delivering when showcasing upcoming projects.) As for the comment about the roller coaster being less thrilling then it should be. Once again, not all rides are built for Disney Adults. (Nor should they be.) They aren't competing with The Hulk at Universal they are making rides for families. But, let's be honest, by the time kids are about 4 feet tall they have significantly less interest in Pixar properties. They would be better off doing Marvel, Star Wars or another tween/early teen property. (Not saying that's what Marvel and Star Wars are, just saying they include that demographic.) I do agree with Pro that this is the wrong approach. Moving the Muppets to Aerosmith isn't the right move. (It should have been Powerline anyway.) They are almost certainly changing it to reduce the royalty fees because everything they do recently is about cutting costs. Also, just adding Muppets to Rockin' Roller Coaster doesn't change the fact that Muppet Vision is being removed. I don't care if it has the traffic of Mr. Lincoln or Carousel of Progress or if it has more traffic than Smuggler's Run. Muppet Vision 3D is a piece of history and it's removal is a sin, period. There aren't many rides or shows this applies to but Muppet Vision is one of them. I also agree with Pro about park visitation, I am in that boat of I may or may not go to Universal, Knott's, Bush Gardens. But, DVC or not I will not be going to Disney. (Unless it is in Japan.) But, it will be fun seeing the look on the employee's face when I say I am booking a week in Orlando with DVC points as a hotel for Universal. Bottom line, Iger *has* to go. The train is full steam ahead until he does.

Universal is building Epic Universe Disney is building an Epic Disaster 🤷‍♂️💯 I’m a local and an AP holder and I’m leaning to not renewing not definite yet but we are strongly considering it. Oh that inverted coaster plan looks like a modern version of Peter Pan’s Flight 🤬

[@jeffkearney3932]

This isn't as dumb as taking out the rivers of America. But it's real close

[@stanfordite1]

The Rivers of America is not closing. That's a lie.

[@breezywithkids]

I hope I get to see it one more time in April! 🥺

Tokyo Disneyland & DisneySea convince me it's much better to have 2 strong theme parks near each other than 4 diluted ones. Although the 2 parks in Paris, certainly the Disney Studios park (Adventure World), aren't too ideal either. The 2 parks in Anaheim are sort of between the caliber of Orlando & Paris. If Walt E Disney were alive in 2024, he'd probably want to merge his company with the Oriental Land Co than Robert Iger's toxic swamp of a corporation.

[@ThemeParkZilver]

This exactly. Disney needs to be improving its weak Orlando parks not replacing existing things. But every time something new is announced something gets replaced. When people talk about a fifth gate I laugh, Orlando doesn't even have 3 yet.

[@msemtak]

Another idea is retheme rock n roller coaster, and put muppets in the racing academy theater and make that all muppets. And you talk about the immersion. Tron, cosmic rewind, Tiana. Last check those are just rides. So like you said why can’t it just be a ride.

[@moirad3895]

I am so heartbroken and torn

[@keiichimorisato98]

The coaster layout is perfectly fine. Its a family inverted coaster with a really low hight requirement. BGT and Fun Spot Orlando have similar coasters.

[@kboostmobile6580]

Expand the studio into the current parking lot and push the parking area back with all that space they have.

[@JoyleiaJo]

Josh is about to bulldoze his OWN legacy!

[@MoiveGuy24]

I honestly wish they would’ve done monsters inc land over in the animation courtyard, there’s way more space and it’s a dead area right now there’s not much to do there except for three meet and greets and then there’s that indoor Star Wars area for launch bay because then they can keep Muppet vision 3-D which they spent money on fixing like putting in brand new seats and making the film, digital and updating the effects, like why would they spend all this money on fixing the attraction when now they’re just gonna get rid of it it just seems like a waste of money on their part now

[@stanfordite1]

There is no Monsters coming. It's a hoax. Pixar is leaving the parks due to Disney being broken up.

[@ZanderHanna]

@@stanfordite1your a hoax

[@harrisd1983]

The problem is that the Animation Courtyard is just a front for office buildings. If you remember, when the part first opened, they gave a tour of the offices since they did some animation there. They should just build a new office building so they can just demolish that whole area and use it.

[@hopejordan2997]

I TOLD YOU SO!! You can not trust Disney! All hail to the new theme park king, Epic Universe!

[@stanfordite1]

It's not happening.

[@hopejordan2997]

@stanfordite1 it's happening as we speak!

[@animezilla4486]

​@@hopejordan2997no it's not while wdw pro is so upset about the Muppets theater closing if that's even true he has to set the reality that theme parks are going to change over time and nothing remains there forever he needs further proof look at universal studios and are theme parks think about how many things they got rid of in order to make something new

[@stanfordite1]

@@hopejordan2997 No it's not. It's a hoax. Disney is getting broken up and I look forward to Galaxy's Edge closing and all Pixar and Marvel attractions due to Disney being broken up. Uncle Sam will hand Lucasfilm back to George's family on a silver platter and thankfully that means Star Wars will come to an end as a franchise.

[@hopejordan2997]

@stanfordite1 you can keep lying to yourself if you want, but the truth is you will be left sitting by yourself at Disney while Epic Universe is at full capacity.

[@bv_7766]

Also, I can’t WAIT to check out that Universal Park. I’ll be down next summer for sure!! I hope you guys report some on it even though it’s not Disney.

[@pntr92]

To quote Dumb and Dumber, "Just when I thought you couldn't possibly be any dumber, you go and do something like this." I swear to God, is Bob Iger just the living embodiment of Peter Griffin from Family Guy. Because only a moron with the intelligence of Peter Griffin would be this stupid: Let's keep Star Wars Launch Bay (despite it being mostly empty because of fan apathy for the franchise due to Iger and Kathleen Kennedy's poor mismanagement of the brand) and instead replace one of the most beloved shows and original shows at the park (not to mention the last remaining projects that Jim Henson was a part of before his passing). If they take out this and Star Tours out, then that will be the final nail in the coffin for Hollywood Studios for me. They took out the Backlot Tour. They took out the Great Movie Ride. And if they go through with it and they take out Star Tours, then there's really no point in justifying spending all that money to go for just three things (Toy Story Mania, Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic) since all three of the formally mentioned rides are some my favorite attractions. If I do decide to go, it'll be to park hop to close my day out with Beauty and the Beast and Fantasmic. Hollywood Studios went from being arguably my favorite park to being the absolute worst park at Disney World, courtesy of Bob Iger😡😡😡

[@hillelhalevi]

Muppetvision is hilarious!

[@alynroze1947]

Disney could easily convert the Launch Bay into a Q line for the Monsters Inc ride. They gut the office building and the parking lot and put the ride building there. That would give them plenty of room. Both of those buildings were built for the Animators when the Disney/MGM Studios park was first open.

[@DCLeadboot]

At this point, a visit to Dr Eggman's Interstellar Amusement Park from Sonic Colours sounds more appealing than Disney World! At least Eggman wears his villainy on his sleeve.

[@HistoryPoliticsFiction]

Seriously? One more reason to never go back to Disneyland or Disney World. A company that does this is just plain stupid.

[@bv_7766]

I think they’re in a panic because that new Universal ridiculous park is going to make them surpass Disney. They’re panicking.

[@justinhansen9355]

Actually if you read the article there talking about ways to preserve muppetvisin and the muppets are re theming rock n roller coaster.

[@harrisd1983]

They should have announced what their plans are for the attraction when they made this announcement. If they are planning on giving it to a museum, that is perfect, and I am sure the Smithsonian would gladly take it so everyone can experience it

[@roxysdg334]

I just want to,cry about all of this. They are destroying everything that made Disney great! I have new grandchildren I wanted to take but now I don’t know if I want to go .

[@wiseguy0083]

This makes me sick. Of i didn't hate iger before, I definitely do now!!!

[@gregorysmull8068]

You should not be that surprised. Henson's Muppets are old enough to be considered traditional and are not Woke enough to survive the ongoing Disney purge of such things.

[@edwardbickford8277]

The only proper way to use the Muppets at Rocking Rollercoaster is to replace Aerosmith with Electric Mayhem.

[@FirestreakRodimusPr]

@Wdw Pro, Keep your promise. Hound them until the end.

[@lordbane5627]

They're at their Last Jedi moment for the parks.
