Monstropolis Coming to DHS?

[Kman101]

I think Monsters Inc in the parks in a big way could be very cool, but it has missed the boat, imho. A fantastic IP, but there are more creative things to be done in DHS.

Yeah. I mean, I'd take the door coaster any year, lol. But I agree the IP isn't the focus anymore. The time was when they were first bouncing it around, and when Monster's U came out. Another missed opportunity. I also think we should have had Cars Land where Star Wars is going, put Star Wars behind Star Tours/Indy/parking lot .... sigh. I could go on.

Because I'm too lazy to read through all 12 pages, can someone give me a recap on the current status of this?

Yep. Got 'em in mine.

Let's see if this works...
EDIT: It works!

So, here's your recap:

Monstropolis was once a consideration. It was abandoned. Jim Hill keeps saying it's alive. Our insiders keep saying it ain't. Doesn't mean it can't be revived, but, for now, the only thing planned for DHS past SWL is maybe an update on the stage shows and maybe a one-off E-Ticket based on the Shanghai PotC tech reskinned for some unnamed IP.

Alright, thank you! Do we have any idea of where this Shanghai PotC copy would go? Wait no, let me take a guess: Indiana Jones.

No idea. And they way it sounds, WDW doesn't know where because they haven't even committed to it (it can go to Epcot instead) or what IP it will be, which may determine where it will go.

Interesting. Guess we'll have to wait for further details.

Indy is kind of a “dead franchise” at that point...so it would have to be a concerted effort across all segments to get to new ride status...from the surface of it.

Monsters U didn’t carry any momentum for that franchise...it was a bit disappointing if I recall to Disney/Pixar...so any idea they would invest a cool $500 mil in that smells like yesterday’s fish.

And yet, Ratatouille.

Ratatouille is a clone...and it was a success.

What I meant was disney trying to force long term franchises with monsters inc and cars...that seems To have ended. Not the same as Nemo and toy story for the longterm.

I really dont understand how they build without thinking of possible expansions. If StarWars is a huge success, as it could be, the land will only have 2 new atractions, (HarryPotter land, open with 3 atractions and it was a huge succes so universal build a secon Harry Potter land connected to the first one).
Why do they build Toy Story land so close to Star wars land, both lands have infinite posibilities and both are a really big IPs, both of them could have their own seperate park and they would probably have more guest than AK, DHS or even Epcot *(Sw for sure). So why invest all that money to build them so close to each other not allowing future expansions!!

I really can´t see a future where Disney didnt need to open a new Star Wars/ Toy Story attraction and to find they miss the perfect spot in an adjacent space of both lands.

GE has an expansion plot already built in plus the whole Muppets/ST/Jedi Academy area could be ripped down and used for a large expansion area then they have those new parking lots that are conveniently close by....

You mean “phase me” (3) and “phase more” (4) being “budgeted”??

That never made any sense...this is where the “sniff test” comes in...

If you look at what they built...and where...at least their unofficial stance is “that’s what you get”
There are always contingency innuendos and “spots”...but here it seems like a big time longshot.

They basically stayed in the park footprint. I don’t know why...but you can infer a lot from that. I think it would take a 10 mil influx paying $300 a ticket to get them to even think about it...and the park can’t handle that.

Some sage for your

Indy is far from dead. LMAO

 

[Sirwalterraleigh]

“Kinda dead” is my term for “needing a revamp”...unlike Star Wars. I’m using dramatic license.

Not really much of an argument there.

If you’re 40 - cough - Indy is a fact is life...but younger/moving forward?

Don’t worry...I’m sure Kennedy will do great with a new movie...since Lucas/Spielberg already kinda bombed at it
