Wow... It's honestly kinda sweet to see people who have been on both sides of the arguments I've followed over the last few years unite against a common enemy. It brings a tear to my eye. :cry: As someone who loves MuppetVision and hates roller coasters, replacing MuppetVision with a roller coaster and then saying "Don't worry. The Muppets will live on in a roller coaster." is little comfort. We saw the Circle of Life go in Epcot. The Lion King complex is off to the side in a little sub area that could easily be separated into a different sub-land between Africa and Pandora. There's always the ultimate surprise of February and March. Also, for the record, Zootopia was an absolute crap film that only gets worse the more you think about it. For instance…the mention of the existence of a “skunk butt rug” means that Nick the Fox is essentially Zootopia’s answer to either Ed Gein. Or…Buffalo Bill? Wow... I've never fully thought that one through. Although overall there's some level of edge in the film considering the other adult works that were inspiration. The two works that immediately come to mind as inspiring it were rated R and TV-MA.

Yea but we need to see the results first before we can say things like that. Disney is for sure finalizing plans. Laugh floor will not be what is in discussion.

Yeah, I would be absolutely shocked if either show was better or even equal to their predecessors. I'm just praying they are at least decent lol.

I do not think the Muppet Vision Replacement will be 3D. I know very little info is out in public yet 9and maybe Disney is still finalizing plans themselves). I honestly think the 2nd attraction / show in the Monsters area its going to be some sort of re-tooling of the Laugh Floor concept placed in a theater that looks alot like a Muppet Theater.

The elephant in the room seems to be that, through a combination of stifling management philosophy and a simple lack of talent, Disney World’s script writing has been absolutely miserable for a long time. GoG is an incoherent embarrassment, Tiana is written at a preschool level, the Bears redo is totally devoid of humor and characterization, FoP preshow is the subject of near-universal mockery, etc. I don’t see any reason to believe WDW is capable of producing not one but two quality 4D shows (one of which is replacing one of the best written attractions in the resort’s history).

I think a slight benefit as right now not many people do ITTBAB and often don't even realize they are passing the entrance This will be more of a destination, at least while it is new .... not saying will have huge waits but at least *some wait* at a minimum it will get more people to check it out and appreciate the detail in the queue area/base (roots) of the Tree of Life

I don’t suspect it will move the needle much either

I feel like it won’t be either. Probably won’t be a WDI masterpiece that you have to do every time you walk into the park, but it’ll probably be a big hit with families and give them a more positive experience than ITTBAB currently does.

I don't know if the attraction will be good or fail for Disney's Animal Kingdom.

I really wish people would stop engaging. Of course, I'm talking about how much I hate Valentines Day this Friday. That's all I mean. Those continuing to engage don't come out looking too... shall we say... charming.
