I am very excited about this!

I haven’t been this excited for a Disney project in ages. This is genuine dream come true stuff.

I just wish there was a way that would be agreeable to fans of both Muppets and Monsters Inc. Not expanding the Pixar Studios area was such a missed opportunity.

The façade modification?

The façade modification?

The land lol just excited to watch the progress and see it become what I’ve always dreamed of

The façade modification?

I'm glad they are going the full step of modifying the facades to add the monster elements instead of just splashing a new coat of paint on everything and calling it a day.

Im really looking forward to this project as well! More so than almost any other current disney project. (space mountain tokyo takes the cake imo)

Theres just such a long gap between the end of the monsters in land and the entrance to the coaster, I really hope its full of stuff to see and do.

the facade for the marquee makes sense with the art but I’m not sure why they removed so many bricks from the clock tower?

This doesn't break the rule. They're not having AI write the text of their post.

Before AI, we'd be posting made-up CGI pix and memes all the time. (Tho, overdoing it may get one reprimanded.)

Before that, we'd be drawing made-up stuff that wasn't real.

Before that, I'd be dialing into an ISP by whistling past two sheets of sandpaper and improvising a bit map of Abraham Lincoln riding in a tank.

Thank you, @MisterPenguin, for understanding this nuance.

There's a very big difference between automating posts, which is basically a bot at that point, and just attaching a photo, which is just a faster version of PhotoShop basically.

Very different than using it, say for official Disney concept art lol. If Disney does that, we riot, but there'd also theoretically be no issue with them internally using AI to come up with concepts as we do here; it's an effective storyboard basically. An open conversation.

Or artwork that is displayed as part of a brand new Disney theme park gift shop!

This happened???

Oh no.

Curious as I am not well versed in construction, anyone able to explain the purpose of the different layers used in the coasters floor? If I remember there was an initial layer of cement(?) followed by conduit covered by sand then another layer of cement which now appears will be covered again with conduit and the initial coaster footers? Should we expect any additional layers? If not, based on construction so far, do we expect they would install the coaster track then build the show building around it at this point or still to early to tell?

Well the part around the clock is obvious as to why its removed. I wonder if that vertical sign will be more 3D than it looks in the concept art, or it may be even a video wall of some kind or have more in-depth lighting requiring the brick layer to be removed.

Who knows, they may have had to remove more than they originally planned due to age/weather affecting the old facade?

Eh, I'm hoping the clock tower facade will be different from the concept art. The first mock-up had this generic eyeball motif. And the second iteration of gnarled teeth isn't much better. Neither design best convey "Monsters Inc" IMHO. And there's something off-putting, almost creepy about the current illustration that reminds me of the grandfather clock in the HM. Again, doesn't really evoke "Monsters Inc." Between that and the "The Glob" blade sign... I'm actually against most of the design concepts for this land.

That said, I am looking forward to Monstropolis more than any other new land. It has the greatest potential. I'm already writing off Villains as a lost cause unless they flip back to the original concept. And not impressed by this... yet. Maybe I'll change my tune once they announce the show going into the theater space.

I'm a delight at parties, honestly!

What would you include that best represents Monsters Inc ?

And worst hidden.

I don’t know what you are talking about - it’s invisible.

“Facade modification” is essentially a new coat of paint. People keep pretending this is something it isn’t. I mean, being more excited for this then for Villains because Villains isn’t going to be a “horror” land strikes me as mind-bendingly strange.
