The flanges will be fastened to the concrete slab as on Cosmic Rewind...

The coaster structure is on its own isolated footings separated from the slab by a joint.

Interesting, in an area like this are the footings poured on top of the slab?

I am so curious on how they're gonna hide the back of StarWars and the future Harryhusens from view of guests as they walk near the coaster

I was referring specifically to Cosmic Rewind. It’s possible that Monsters Inc. is attached to a single slab, but it would be surprising. The slab itself only needs to be about 6” thick and making it big enough to support a coaster means at least doubling that thickness. The slab would also need to be designed for all of the movement of the coaster versus just having the footings isolated.

This photo shows the mud slab. It is essentially a soil stabilizer and not directly a foundation for the building. The footings for the coaster don’t need to be very deep, so they can sit in the new soil being placed over the mud slab like they would everywhere else.

So I know that all of the hullabaloo with the MK has been centered on Villian’s Land and Josh saying think bigger. Well, I have also been seeing this lately on several sites.

This was captured from The Kingdom Insider but I have seen this rumor being mentioned elsewhere alongside the information @lentesta brought to light regarding Josh and the Villian’s project. I also don’t recall seeing this mentioned before. Apologies if it has been.

The origins of this rumour seem to be that someone thought they needed to strip DCAs rides for figures and instead have decided to build original figures. Which is why they can now defer closing the Monsters Ride in DCA.

It seems to have no factual basis that I can track or any real source other than speculation that seems to be rattling around the internet until it became true-sounding.

One would hope they’d further improve the courtyard since the show building was pushed back, but I can’t say it has any real source behind those hopes yet.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

We're getting a Door Coaster, what else do you need?

It's a Monsters Inc Land, I love Monsters Inc!

A person after my own heart

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Will this land feature characters from both movies plus the show, or just the first one? I'd like to see them do more with Brock Pearson. I thought he was one of the more intriguing background characters from Monsters University and I'm surprised they didn't include him in Monsters at Work. (On a side note, I'm pretty sure that Pixar took inspiration for Brock's design from Big Bertha at Six Flags Over Georgia's Monster Plantation/Mansion.) Judging by the synopsis of the door coaster, I'm assuming this land takes place before they convert the factory to laugh power. If that were the case, it would be cool to have the lights in the buildings flash.

It sickens me to see the Muppetvision facade get destroyed. I wonder if the theatre's interior will be gutted? The name, "Glob" makes me think it will be a theater in the round like the Globe in England. If they don't extract Laugh Floor from Tomorrowland, I can see them doing a Circlevision presentation with a monster character similar to Nine-Eye. It's too bad we can't get a carbon copy of Monsters Ride and Go Seek. That's the best Monsters Inc. ride we've gotten. As much as I love and miss Meet the World, I feel it's a worthy successor.

I think it's possible to see someone like Brock appear, though not in a substantial way. There's a lot of really cool and unique side and background characters across the two films and the show that including in the land in certain ways would add a lot to the experience. I don't think they're gonna be like, walk around characters, but maybe simple AAs in windows, or cleverly placed static figures, etc.

Monsters at Work I expect to have the least amount of general representation in the land itself, but there's no shortage of characters from there that can be thrown in.

What I really want to see once we go physically inside Monsters Inc is some of the other scare floor monsters and other beloved side characters that we catch glimpses of in the film. I don't need full on AAs, even just some nice, well placed references to them would go a long way with me.

I think not having an AA of Celia at the front desk would be a missed opportunity.

 

[Mr. Sullivan]

Agreed, I absolutely want one of her and one of Roz in her office

 

[J. D.]

Roz absolutely needs to be in the preshow doing the safety spiel.

 

[Jedi14]

I expect both of them in some form, but I am wondering if they will follow Monsters at Work with Celia as floor manager and Roz’s sister being there instead of her.

 

[Bocabear]

Seeing what they have done recently I expect that Roz will have retired, Celia is opening a Foods manufacturing facility out in the swamps on the outskirts of town... Mike and Sully lave left the Scream job and are pursuing their dream of owning a Mailboxes ETC Franchise.... Wally and Bob will be the new lead characters on the ride...two newbies that were not in any of the original source material... the ride will not take place in Monstropolis, but in the neighboring town of Creatureville....

 

[Brer Panther]

You think we'll get another "living character" Roz animatronic who interacts with guests, like the rides in California Adventure and Tokyo Disneyland have?

FWIW, I spoke to probably 30 strangers today, overwhelmingly, the Door Coaster is the most hyped experience coming.

It’s not remotely close.

The ride is going to break social media.

That’s why Disney did it.

Did you speak to them at Hollywood Studios in the vicinity of the Baseline Tap house?

It would be nice if this included a third attraction as well. Given how far back the show building is for the door coaster, there is plenty of space for a smaller ride to help to round off the land well. And DHS needs more rides in general.

A truly scientific poll, you have done a great service. Your numbers are irrefutable.

I provided more value than your snarky comment ever will.

FYI, go online, it’s the same way. It is simply reaffirming with what what broke into the “mainstream,” everyone here knows how the Door Coaster went viral on TikTok.
