Disney's Hollywood Studios (General Discussion)

[WAJAS]

It makes sense really. They won't be a part of Street of America as those would be closed and it doesn't make any sense to make the area a part of Echo Lake.

Orlando Theme Park News is reporting that the Muppets will be expanded into a bigger mini-land of their own.

I guess this means ABC will be giving the Muppets show a mercy renewal. All in the best interests...

Headlined by a 25-year-old 3D movie. Super.

Why spend money when the pixie dusters will flock to it anyway if Disney advertises it as "NEW", just like tourists are flocking to the Star Wars Encounter store & fireworks because of the way Disney is advertising it, people think it's the new Star Wars Land. Disney's Marketing Dept. carries the company. That's the one department Disney should never cut. Give marketing a big enough budget and they'll never have to build a new attraction.

That's still funnier/better than any other 3-D movie in existence

So who wants to bet the only addition in this mini land is actually just the pizza place?

Muppets and T2 are the best 3D movies ever made, I'll stand by that.

Oh, 1000000%. MAYBE an outside chance of a street show, but other than that there's really no room for anything

Maybe Mama MelRoses too, since they're redoing that also.

There's the rumor the Muppet Mobile Lab might come back.

 

[Mad Dog]

Official name of the land will be, "Muppet's Courtyard"

I have to say that everyone I know that has gone to see it, knew what it was beforehand and everyone has liked it. This is from pixie dusters to non-pixie dusters. Obviously that is stories and not real evidence. But no one I have talked to thought it was a new ride or anything like that. But everyone seems to really like the new area. Our friends are visiting from CA and knew not to go to DHS and the other visiting from Pittsburgh is going to DHS but is fully aware of what is actually there and not there. It seems because of advance fast passes people are able to easily look when booking fast passes of what is there and not there in the way of rides. So while marketing is doing a good job I haven't met anyone that has been fooled but this and I know some pretty dumb people lol

Spinner, DHS doesn't have one, it is the only park without one lol

Honestly, a Gonzo or Muppet Labs themed flat ride wouldn't be a terrible idea. It worked with Springfield/Kang & Kodos.

The levers don't actually raise or lower the vehicle, instead just makes your vehicle squeak out a meep.

WDW fans are so starved for new stuff that they'd probably line up for a new Dollar Tree in DHS if it had a figure of Darth Vader spinning on top.

I've heard of this. It was last seen in HKDL like two years ago and is apparently collecting dust in backstage DCA.

Of course it's funny. They're the Muppets. But it's so outdated and I can't help but cringe anytime I see Waldo.

Meh. It's fine. I'd rather have some outdated tech than having current Disney try and replace a show that Jim himself put together.
