News Round Up 2016

Where???? The only flat spot (and it's SMALL) is over the main entrance to the show. AFAIK there is no direct access to that area. Just windows. I'm not even sure it's built as a weight bearing structure, like a balcony or elevated deck.

IDK. Makes as much sense as retheming TOT to a bunch of secondary Marvel characters.

No idea. It may end up being something as simple as Sam Eagle popping his head out of a window yelling at people to go to HoP. Lol

Are we talking Muppet Vision 3D or a new Muppet attraction? Either would be odd considering the "new" Muppets Courtyard and rumors of Pizza Planet being rethemed Muppets. I wouldn't mind moving them to MK though if it is to make more room for Star Wars. They could even do a Muppets Pirates ride in Adventureland, or something like that.

If this rumor were to be true, it only strengthens my beliefs that the retheming of Pizza Planet and the renaming of the area is only a temporary fix to give HS a bit more during all the construction.

It's unclear.

I think Muppets would be fine at MK in general, but I do think DHS is a better place for them to have a dedicated mini-land.

You won't find me fighting new Muppets content no matter what form it takes.

How incredibly boring and generic. Hopefully it's a placeholder until Soarin' 2.0 comes along.

Agreed, very underwhelming.

That's what everyone is hoping.

It seems to me that it's not that different then before other than no sponsor. What are we expecting "The Land - NOW with 50% more Soarin'!"

It's a pretty nice sign, as signs go ... but of all the things in Future World "The Land Pavilion sign" would not have been in my top 49

Muppet Rumor update!

I have an update on the rumor for muppets in MK. The new muppets attraction being seriously consodered for MK would go on the second floor of Hall of Presidents. This would be something for Sam Eagle fans.

I like it, it reminds me of the "old" Epcot.
