You are forgetting the Villains show and Ariel. Plus the muppets coaster for that matter.

I’d be pretty surprised if the Monsters Coaster is more approachable than the Villains dark ride. The hook of the former is to actually make people scream. I’d be pretty surprised if the Villains dark ride was not even softer than Haunted Mansion.

From the macroscopic lens the additions are fine to me. Just from the DHS lens a coaster in a box wasn’t what DHS was pining for. The follow up projects definitely need to be things like Inside Out, Imagination, or whatever they do with Coco and Moana.

And whatever might be in Animation Courtyard really needs to be a more family oriented dark ride of some kind. Or a boat ride.

It's one thing I don't get. Many love the new attractions coming and have no issue with Disney completely going away from the uniqueness and theme of each park. Basically going away from what the parks were.

Most a fine with Disney doing that but are very against Disney ever pushing the boundaries on thrills. Adding a B&M invert or Mack extreme spinner would do wonders for the park.

I'd be totally fine with a truly intense coaster, it's just the exposed track issue. I'm probably one of the few that would be okay with a redo of Space Mountain to be such an intense coaster. One of its main "hooks" was it was sort of a "right of passage" of a first coaster experience, but now with 7DMT, Big Thunder, potentially Villains, not to mention Slinky and Monsters and Guardians and others at other parks, Space doesn't really have that anymore. So have it be a "new" right of passage as being the first truly intense coaster with inversions, etc.

I also kind of like having the coasters at MK be a sliding scale of intensity:
From "Kiddie" to "Intense":
Barnstormer
7DMT
Big Thunder
Villains
Tron
Space

Not going to happen, but I like it.

Ok, added those in - guess if I was including the Monsters Show I should have included those

I think the Villains Dark ride is the one with the most variability - more so in "tone" than thrills. Just know a lot of kids that won't do Haunted Mansion due to that .... Probably would be more realistic for it to be more approachable than the Monsters Coaster, even if that is pretty tame, with it being in a box and potentially darkish and kids that maybe have never done a suspended coaster might be less approachable than the Villains dark ride unless they go really dark with it (which I don't expect)

No, me neither. I expect the coaster to lean into real scary villainy and the dark ride to skew campy family friendly villains. More Hook, Jafar, Hades and Ursula for the latter.

I kinda expect the opposite honestly depending what coaster intensity they're pinning for. Biased because I'd want Chernabog to be apart of the dark ride more than the coaster but I can picture him apart of the latter....

Wait, now I'm confused. Too many threads going on at the same time. I was talking about the Villains coaster, which I realize now this is not the thread for. Are you talking about Monsters Inc?

Yeah my bad I was responding to a post about coasters in general and probably got us off track.

My hope is unlike Guardians they keep the story simple. Maybe Boo gets lost and mike and sully need to find her, idk just something simple. I just don't want the coaster to feel to short (looking at you 7D)

The lift isn’t new information. What that image shows is rotating cars.
