DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Fido Chuckwagon]

We agree, everything TWDC does (in their theme park business) is about MONEY!!!!

TWDC's movie business can BURN THROUGH money freely because their movie business is about MESSAGEING!!

In this case both money and good park ops converge though. They’ve got an attraction that is almost unusable for large portions of the year because of the weather conditions. Replacing it with capacity that can be used year-round is not a bad thing. I get that it’s a classic, but I agree with Corless, it’s time has come.

90 vs 95 isn’t going to feel any different with the same humidity levels

Even accepting that as true (and I really don’t), there are also now a LOT more days at or above 90 than there used to be. It’s not just the extreme weather events, it’s the number of days a year now that hit those high temps, and how long those temps last for on a given day. It’s just demonstrably much hotter, for longer, and more often, than it was 50 years ago.

The site that shall not be named has now tripled down as of 1 hour ago on Twitter.

Did the original tweet get shared?

From a couple pages back. But better get a screenshot before the eventual deletion for leaking "non-public" information lol.

It is funny because DHS is more than 30 years old & they "re-invented" the park over a decade ago to be about stepping into the movies ... Epic Universe is essentially a fully fledged 4 land version of what DHS wants to be (and will be 10 years from now). However, I am optimistic that with Monstropolis & Zootopia the park will truly be something special.

who remembers pizza planet? Late 2000’s- early-mid 2010’s wdw gang!

I think it was actually turned into Pizza Planet in 1995 or 1996 -- not long after the first Toy Story.

Pretty sure PizzeRizzo serves the exact same pizza, too. Same "pizza" for almost 30 years now.

Yes - first visit as a kid there was a full on Toy Story Parade at studios and Pizza Planet was open complete with delivery truck outside and carnival games inside.

They did state construction will start in 2025 for both Monsters inc and Cars… anything can happen to cause delays… but at this moment I am thinking they are planning to have something new every year….the lounges, night parade, and Test Track 3.0 in 25…. Mando and Grogo mission on smuggler as well as new Zootopia show in 26….Tropical Americas in 27…..I am guessing Monster Inc in 28 and Cars Land in 29…. I feel even though it was said everything would be completed in 5 years.., Villains land is really thought of more as a 2030 project at this stage… I believe it will happen at some point, but Villains is the area I am least confident it will makes it’s time frame…,I don’t think they have any type of attractions nailed down yet for that area… The concept art showed 2 areas with coasters… I don’t see Disney building 2 new coasters in a single new land… but time will tell

When was the last.time Disney opened a land less than four years after commencement?
Cars will be 2028 to 2029. And that is likely generous.

The point still stands.it is far.too funny to call Villians land an "answer" to Monsters: Dark Universe. When there is a decade or more separation and other things on the horizon.

Mermaid show is in very active development and construction

Yeah, I don't know why people here and on twt act like we got nothing for it, we got costuming at D23.

I mean it's been like four years and we didn't even get a date.

I go to bed thinking Muppets were a gonner, and now there’s a chance it lives on.

This thread is threatening to be a better rollercoaster than the Doors coaster itself.

 

[ToTBellHop]

I submit that they build cubicles in Wonders of Life and move them all there. It’s clearly never going to be a guest area again and they’ll still be able to have lunch at Connections and ride the SkyLiner over to DHS. Win-win-win

Guy is a software developer, surprised that this sort of function is even still in park offices.

That’s the other thing, departments move in and out of that office all the time, could be related, could be not, my department has still heard nothing.

Technically Avatar construction began in January 2014 and opened in May 2017, so 3 years and 4 months.

Do we really think TWDC is scrambling around behind the scenes, waffling on their decisions and doing things “last minute”?

This is a big, corporate machine. By its nature it does not move fast, and it requires processes and data analysis and strategy to move projects forward.

This site seems to conflate “surprises” and seemingly poor communication into a belief that things change in the final seconds before an exec walks into the D23 stage, or a shovel strikes the dirt at a build site.

Highly unlikely. The company probably pays a lot of money to consultants to help them figure out how to make decisions faster.

Somebody shared a little too much information…

So bets on when they make this official? Next week? If it’s truly going in AC, I actually think this is gonna generate lots of positive buzz.

Just as I predicted.

Also as a fellow software developer, I would hope one would know better about sharing somewhat confidential information..
