DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

A little premature me thinks. The execution determines whether it captures the playfulness and immersion that Disney used to be famous for.
My guess Monstropolis will feel very similar to Zootopia and very playful.

Like you said, it all comes down to execution.

Both Galaxy’s Edge and Avengers Campus were not done right, Pandora and Cars Land were.

We’ll see! Many different ways to do a land. Epic has VERY different lands stylistically and they all work in their own way.

No reason to think Disney won’t be able to nail it, this is a concept that was revived for a reason.

I think there is a balance there honestly. I’m not quite at @Pizza Moon “excitement” or at “boring”.

I remember from the movie that the streets of Monstropolis was interesting and alive, with odd monsters roaming around each corner. Harryhausens was a restaurant in the land that made it more interesting to me, We will see if they can pay that off. But It’s definitely a human-ize world thing which isn’t the most exciting so I get it.

Not directed at you but acting like Muppets Courtyard was this central masterpiece is also a straight sham. It’s got the same issues as Monstropolis.
You should re-watch Monsters Inc. on Disney+.

It’s excellent. Both the script itself and world building.

Exactly the type of IP I want translated into the parks. Execution is all that will matter.

I’m not worried for the land or Door Coaster at all, as I’m more worried for the Glob Theater.

I will say Monsters University could truly support its own land Potter style. If they ever decided to expand beyond the Door Coaster to the left into the parking lot it, it would totally make sense in the 2030s. It wouldn’t be a top priority for me, but it certainly could make sense if Monstropolis is as successful as I think it will be.
Playing the Monsters University playsets in Disney Infinity is what made me think MU would make for a great themed environment.

In my opinion, Galaxy’s Edge may not exactly be what you asked for but it is still utterly breathtaking.

Personally, I would not put it on the same inferior level as Avengers Campus or even remotely close to that.

I also think that eventual improvements to the legacy timeline and a higher level of character engagement could possibly fix a lot of its issues.

Galaxy’s Edge is still a sight to behold!
My point is that it’s not a lost cause or the tremendous failure that some people reference it to be.

I I don’t disagree, I just mean that it was lesser than it should’ve been.

Same with Mermaid at MK, it’s beautiful but ride deserved a lot better.

The scale of Galaxy’s Edge is what really helps it.

Has Epic or Tokyo DisneySea vibes for that reason, so I can’t wait for the day they start plussing it and timeline unlock it.

I would argue that GE has good bones, it could benefit from some makeup. Mermaid has less than desired bones, it would take more than makeup to improve it.
