DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[DisneyDean97]

It depends on what the audience is calling for. Personally I want more dark rides but lately DIsney has been coaster heavy, if not thrilling, coaster heavy due to competition's success.

I prefer one or two great that have a thrill with a balance of Dark Rides and Shows for the rest. But that is not the norm as audiences have gotten braver and coaster types becoming more accessible.

Why can't Disney do both? But I agree with you, they have been coaster heavy lately, and seem to continue that trend with Monsters Inc and the rumored coaster for Villains land.
I would love to see Disney innovate a new ride system for a dark ride.

I agree, Disney can produce thrilling coasters if they want to. Unfortunately, the 90s was a different era, but who knows, maybe with the success of Velocicoaster and Stardust Racers, Disney might want to compete again in that market. But I just don't see current Disney building a coaster with inversions.

I think the main issue here is the visibility of the coaster tracks. The more thrilling the coaster (higher drops and inversions) the more likely the tracks will be visible that's why they prefer indoor ones. Tron has an outdoor track but it's covered by a canopy.

From the Villains land art, there will be a rollercoaster but It looks like it will still be indoor with a partial outdoor portion.

Who can really tell anything from the concept art? Yeah, I see tracks in a few spaces, but the art is as vague as possible....and most likely just a placeholder until they actually cement some of the details.... That coaster could easily just be another Seven Dwarfs Coaster with redressing...and aside from that, all that is shown is some craggy mountain rockwork set pieces....

Some 'educated guesses' or 'predictions' from DSNY Newcast

I just really don't want the ride to be like this:

- Get in ride vehicle
- We see Mike and Sulley on a screen
- Zipping around a giant warehouse with no neat physical elements whatsoever
- See Mike and Sulley on a screen again
- Unload

So, in other words, not another Cosmic Rewind.

1. Cosmic rewind works for what it is
2. I really doubt they would do the same for this. The concept art shows what appears to be AA's of the characters (likely even some recycled from the soon to be shuttered ride at DCA) plus new. The doors will likely be primarily sets with mirrors. and while it may be light on story it will be fun and a great addition.

Remember everyone who is visiting for the next two months; it is your civic duty to turn around and look at the Swedish Chef in order to clue in all the first (and only) timers that he's there.

Which ride in DCA is being closed? Is that the Monsters ride? I almost skipped that ride thinking it was the Monster's Laugh Floor show like at MK. I was so glad I did not skip it. I really enjoyed it.

Throw in a couple of door opening gags revealing other monsters from the movies/show and you've probably described the whole ride.

As excited as I am for the door coaster (and I am), DHS would be better served with them sending that dark ride over from CA. DHS is severely lacking in rides the whole family can enjoy and this coaster won’t help. Nor will removing Muppets (I will believe we are getting a new show when I see it).

They do have monsters Inc props they can reuse from other attractions now so there's that. I could see smaller set buildouts, frames around digital scenes augmented with the occasional prop.

Unless you have multiple spots where the coaster slows down, whats the point of adding a bunch of props if you're going to pass by then quickly

To add depth to a scene. I'm not talking animatronics.

Look at Rockin Roller coaster, those props are useless as you go by them too quickly to even make sense of what they are.

We must be riding different Rock'n Rollercoasters. Also this coaster will be slower.

Yes you can see the neon signs on Rock'n Roller coaster but you by then so quickly I feel they don't add much to the ride.

Yes Monsters Inc will be slower but you still be moving at a decent speed that you won't really see it

The top speed of a family suspended is like 30mph. The average speed, much less. Much less.

You're telling me the human brain can't process a scene when traveling at that speed or more realistically at <12 mph?
