Seems redundant. Just have a live actress onstage or a new puppet/animatronic.

My guess is that Ursula will appear as a screen with a live actor controlling her movements from backstage- but I could also see the same technology being applied to a puppet, so I'm excited to see how it turns out.

It says there will be a live actor & the use of the motion capture, we’ll see how that comes about.

I wonder if Ursula is going to be a puppet or just a screen effect?

Sometime in the Autumn , last I was aware. This may have well changed at this point. -

Anyone have an idea of when this is reopening?

Getting rid of the mold would be a good first step

They will have to swap out the sign now. New show.

If anything it makes more sense to add a "coming soon" tag to the sign.

MagicHappens1971Jan 13, 2024

The sign has been like that since March 2020 with the theatre vacant. If they were going to cover it up, they would’ve done it then.

Was visiting Studios today and saw the VoTLM dimensional sign. It was fun standing across from it and hearing the confused Guests wondering what was inside the building…and then trying to get in there. Makes me think this is a bit misleading for people and perhaps it’s time to cover it over until the new stage show opens? -
