I think a show at the scale of a HMUS / Alien Encounter-type experience could function alright. Especially if a number of the key roles are animatronic a la Alien Encounter. Any bigger and you risk too big of an investment into performers, techs, managers, sets and props for, potentially, not much return.

We come back to the thought that some concepts are easier to pitch as a small part of a larger new park than as an expansion to an already existing one, and I just don't see a Monsters show happening as an expansion if it wasn't even viewed as workable as an opening day attraction.

So are there any actual details about the show that was in that initial concept art or was that just a placeholder?

Not sure what HMUS is but when it comes to Alien Encounter, was it really a "show" or more of an attraction? One can take it further and question whether Shrek was a show or an attraction? Could they create an "original" attraction storyline that is loosely based on the premises of jekyll/hyde? We are in luck as today the village doctor has created a serum that does blah blah blah and he is inviting us to witness the remarkable first public showing of it. He proceeds to test it on a small animal subject and its successful then he does the unthinkable and states hes gonna now test it on himself which he has never done. He states how he isn't sure how stable it is for a specimen of his size/human but he believes in his research. He takes it then all hell breaks loose.

Then it turns into an Alien encounter style attraction/show/??.

We can get a new attraction and an original story/character that kinda exist in the monster universe, but universal version.

One of those "too awesome to ever happen" ideas.

Hope it happens! But it *seems* like it took a lot of convincing to get a land for the A-tier Monsters as is.

And suggesting that guests won’t sit through longer shows is contradicted by the enduring success of 20+ min attractions like Festival of the Lion King, Aladdin and even Bourne Stuntacular. What guests reject is low effort filler, not a high quality spectacle. A Broadway scale show, especially with an original Universal IP or adaptation like Wicked, would provide tremendous value and likely become one of the park's defining experiences. Finally, the idea that people “won’t line up” for a theater show ignores guest behavior entirely. Visitors lined up for quite long time for Fantasmic, Hyperion. Also, the capacity of two shows in Epic is always full and it's highly demanding. Because they offered something unique, memorable, and communal. A theater of this scale would not only help manage capacity but also serve as a signature offering that elevates Celestial Park’s identity from “hub” to “destination.”

Taking out the 20 minutes line in the sand, I still stand by the fact guests are not interested in longer shows. If a show was to occur I think it would be an add-on that would be accessed from either inside or outside the park.

I think you misinterpreted my queueing point, I agree guests will queue up early and that's the problem. 1400 guests have to go somewhere, at the Hyperion it's a huge cattle pen next to the theater. So what about for Epic? Grinchmas shows the issues with this (also Grinchmas might be the answer to your question here about a full time Broadway like show).

I really don't think the expansion space is being purpose-built for any specific show or event. It's likely just a box. And the permits indicate a quick construction timeline.

I agree, just trying to entertain the thought of a Broadway-style show as it's recurring speculation.
