Ever since D23 in August followers of Walt Disney World have been just a little apprehensive. We discovered about numerous new sights at Walt Disney World, however with the brand new comes the chance of shedding previous favorites.
The announcement {that a} new land devoted to Monsters Inc. was coming was properly obtained, however rumors indicated that to get it, we would lose Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D, one of many longest-running sights at Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Now the precise plan for the way forward for Disney’s Hollywood Studios has been revealed and in case you’re a Muppets fan, I’ve some excellent news and a few unhealthy information.
Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D Is Closing After All
One factor that followers didn’t need to see will come to move. Theme park reporter Scott Gustin broke the information that the brand new Monsters Inc. land will substitute the Muppets Courtyard. This may embody some type of Monsters Inc. present going into the situation the place Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D at the moment runs. The Monsters Inc. Door Coaster can be constructed into a brand new space behind the present courtyard.
There was hope that the brand new land would possibly go into the Animation Courtyard, an space that’s largely ignored within the present park. A brand new Little Mermaid stage present is at the moment in growth there, however aside from that, there’s simply not a lot occurring.
On the plus aspect, Gustin experiences that there are “conversations and exploring methods to protect the movie and different components of the expertise for followers to take pleasure in sooner or later” which would appear to point there’s a risk the film, the final Muppet mission Jim Henson was personally concerned in, would possibly survive in a roundabout way.
Nevertheless, it’s not all unhealthy information for Muppets followers, for no matter occurs to Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D, the characters will dwell on elsewhere within the park.
The Muppets Are Taking Over The Rock ‘N’ Curler Coaster
One attraction at Walt Disney World that followers wouldn’t thoughts seeing rethemed or designed has been the Rock ‘N’ Curler Coaster starring Aerosmith. The trip has been rumored for a re-theme for years and one concept that has been rumored, and even urged on my own, has been the thought of utilizing The Muppet’s home band, Electrical Mayhem because the musical inspiration. And now, one way or the other, we’re getting that.
Whereas particulars are scarce, The Muppets can be taking on the rollercoaster in what’s being referred to as a “rockin’ music pageant” that received’t merely function the Electrical Mayhem, however all of the Muppets.
An actual timeline for these modifications hasn’t been introduced, so there’s nonetheless time to expertise each sights earlier than they shut for work to start.
Disney World followers typically, and Muppets followers particularly, received’t all love the trade-off right here. Muppet*Imaginative and prescient 3D was really beloved and something in need of rebuilding it in a brand new theater someplace doubtless received’t be sufficient for some. Nonetheless, The Muppets aren’t being utterly erased from Disney World, and a re-theme of the Rick ‘N’ Curler Coaster was desperately wanted, and it’s fantastic that it’s lastly occurring.
This simply leaves us with one query. What about PizzeRizzo?
