Really wish Rockin would get a modern Vekoma looper refresh as well. With all of the lengthy refurbishments and downtime issues, it would do wonders to have new trains and track, smoother ride with a much better coaster experience.

Grand Avenue will be Monstropolis, previously known as Muppets Courtyard. Maybe thats the confusion.

^ Hmmm. I didn't see that sentence above the concept art. Or under this thread's heading. But I don't think that's correct. Because, in one of the few Disney sites I follow, an overview of the area where the new Monsters Land would go was shown, with the coaster`s show building (possibly) being built beyond the Studio`s "berm". And the Animation Courtyard is is in a different location altogether, while Star Tours will be beside this new Land on one side. And Galaxy's Edge on the other side of it. It's what I've seen from overhead views and descriptions, etc.... So, IMhO, the Animation Courtyard isn't being used for Monsters Land.

Disney has just announced that Animation Courtyard will be completely taken over by the new Monsters Inc land, with MuppetVision 3D closinng! In addition, the Aerosmith theme of Rock 'n' Roller Coaster will be retired, with the Muppets' Electric Mayhem band coming in to replace it! https://disneyparksblog.com/wdw/monsters-inc-the-muppets-hollywood-studios/ Get ready to open the door because Mike and Sulley are coming to town! That’s right, humans will be able to enter the world of Monsters, Inc. when it is added to the south side of Disney’s Hollywood Studios. Building off the exciting announcements from last summer’s D23: The Ultimate Disney Fan Event, the new land will include the coaster we’ve all dreamed of – a suspended ride recreating the door vault scene – plus dining and shopping and a whole new theater show. To make way for the monsters, Kermit the Frog, Miss Piggy and more of their friends will be moving right along to Sunset Boulevard! But there’s more to the story: The Muppets will be taking over Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster, teaming up with some of music’s biggest stars for a rockin’ music festival! We know so many of you share our love for The Muppets and know their energy will be a perfect fit for this coaster. Plus, as the first Disney ride ever to feature The Muppets, there’s sure to be laughter, screams and new tunes for this attraction for fans to enjoy throughout the adventure and plenty of Muppets-themed merchandise on Sunset Boulevard! In the meantime, there’s still enough time to catch a super-stretch limo to the Forum to enjoy Rock ‘n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith and catch Muppet*Vision 3D again before their final curtain calls. As we move forward with these changes, we are having creative conversations and exploring ways to preserve the film and other parts of the experience for fans to enjoy in the future.

And be prepared for the dynamic to continue to change but not necessarily in a bad way, enjoy all the different iterations! Being a teacher my son and I had so many awesome summer days while he was growing up of going to parks and having a blast, particularly once he was old enough to move out of the kiddie rides. He even went through a very short phase around age 10 - 12 where he refused to ride kiddie coasters because he didn't want people to think he was scared to ride big rides. Then he came into his own and with maturity simply rides what makes him happy and doesn't worry about what others think. Even now that he is an adult we still can enjoy theme park days together, no it's not quite the same as when he was a kid and sometimes we do our own thing or hang out with different groups but it's still kind of "OUR" thing. My husband goes once in a while but just isn't as into it but doesn't begrudge us our enjoyment.

Hey, I just met you. And I am crazy. So I will eat you. You're so delicious.
