Honestly don’t like Guardians of the Galaxy, but Cosmic Rewind is one of my favorite rides now. And I know many people who feel similar.

DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios
- Thread starter wdwmagic
- Start date
If we're talking IP's my main issue is how disney favors certain IP's over others. It is beyond me Wall-E, Moana, Mary Poppins, and other big films don't have rides. Big IP's like Toy Story and Starwars are everywhere, even in areas that don't make sense. And IP's that would honestly translate amazing to theme park rides that aren't major (like Tron already) or Atlantis, Treasure Planet, Raya, and Luca are largely ignored. I don't care about IP's in a Disney park. I care about IP selection, and how they are used and where.

Actually $20 million is not bad for a 40-odd year old film thats been reissued many times

they seem to like this style now no doubt for the reasons stated ( look for this to be like the ratatouille area I would guess) and its just too many people trying to get in one congested area and out the same way...Disney has lost their park management design skills. This will fare even worse at the studios, the place is almost unbearable now. Imagine when this opens.
You are comparing the the time a movie from the 1940s a movie was released to one of the most famous films of the year it was re-released the third time in. Plenty still popular in 1986.
For reference. If a movie was re-released in theaters today that came out in the 80s and made 60 million, which is about what the 1986 film did with inflation we would say still very popular.
All of it aside, it was not quite adjacent to any of the conversation
on point.
Disney needs more material for their four parks to gain more variety if they are only sticking to beyond 300-400 box office chasing for theme park attractions.
They are not doing what they did for
theme parks in 1986 either.
They are not gong to take a property that made under 100 million domestic and go! "But we can make a great theme park ride out of it."

To be precise it’s the Monsters Inc Land thread, not just the new ride, but point taken

A land for a movie 2 decades old at this point. Same can be said for cars. A 19 year old movie.
Cars 3 was 2017. So, 7 years to get a ride if you go by the most recent movie.
14 years before Dumbo got a ride.
18 years before Snow White got a ride.
43 years before Song of the South got a ride.
How many years before Mickey got a ride?

Yeah and IMO those IPs were dated by the time they got an attraction. Why not use more recent IPs, like Soul or Coco?

I imagine EPCOT would be next up on their to-do list in some fashion. I don't think they'll let it sit for too long especially when the reaction to EPCOT's recent additions has been 50/50.So reading between the lines and jumping to conclusions it sounds like Disney buys rights to Sesame Street, takes over Sesame Place and then moves MV3D to the park in PA. I then become the creepy middle aged guy with no young kids who has a season pass to Sesame Place
Getting back on topic….it could be a little sooner. If we assume that Villians land opens somewhere around 2030 or 2031 then the “next thing” to open could be whatever goes to AC. There is no guarantee they plan it to open the very next year but if they plan to spend the money they announced and spend it in a decade it would have to open sooner than a decade from now (the decade would end in 2034). If you add up all of the spend announced for all the parks and cruise ships there’s still plenty left over for more stuff before 2034. Also no guarantee it goes to WDW but they will likely get some allocation of funds.
I personally would prioritize a new land in AK to expand capacity there but AC would be plan 1b for me with EPCOT a close 3rd (WoL, imagination redo, new country, etc…).

If Disney is dead-set on getting Simpsons in the parks, I honestly hope they wait until the current cast retires. Every character sounds ROUGH nowadays; Marge has become infamous for this in recent years, but I saw a recent clip of Flanders & he doesn't even sound like Flanders anymore. It's sad that these amazing VAs are aging, but it's time for them to retire and relax finally.
I'd hate for there to be a land in the parks where all of the characters are stuck with rough voice acting.

That makes sense. What we know of that’s been announced is (1) new land in AK, (2) new land at DHS and (3&4) 2 new lands at MK (don’t bother telling me that Cars is not a land….i reject the concept that it is part of Frontierland). EPCOT would make sense to be next in line, but I would personally prioritize additional capacity for AK and DHS first since Monsters and Encanto are really only a +1 for attractions at each park with some rethemed existing attractions. IMHO those 2 parks still are more in need of additional capacity over EPCOT. Maybe EPCOT gets by better because of the booze and dining in the countries. Probably just as much of a need.
In any case I don’t want the thread police to have to chime in again so I will leave it at that and let people get back to talking about the Monsters Ride or the Monsters Land or I guess how many years between theatrical release of movies other than Monsters and their theme park rides

Sadly, they're using Indy in DAK despite it making way more sense for Indy to be at DHS. That idea is fantastic though!
Yeah, I'd definitely prefer for DHS & DAK to get even more love too. The Monsters coaster is going to help DHS a bit, but man it needs to be "completed" with another land or two. They need to commit to the studio theme being dead outside of the middle of the park (the restaurants & whatnot).That makes sense. What we know of that’s been announced is (1) new land in AK, (2) new land at DHS and (3&4) 2 new lands at MK (don’t bother telling me that Cars is not a land….i reject the concept that it is part of Frontierland).

At the risk of scouring 366 pages, can someone give me a synopsis of what we are getting and when.
Hopefully this isn't 'classic Josh'.

It's also possible once someone on the key voice cast retires or passes, the show ends
We are at least getting a new theater show where Muppet Vision currently is, a Harryhausen's replacing Mama Melrose, and the door coaster. Dates haven’t been said yet, but I would guess after Tropical Americas, and around the same time as Cars.
