DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Rhinocerous]

I wouldn't want a direct clone seeing as how a lot of figures in that ride just re-dressed figures from its infamous predecessor.

No! Build Drew Carey and Joan Rivers and redress them, or don't bother bringing it over at all. We deserve the authentic experience.

I meant to CA version, i wouldnt mind the old style, on rails slow moving dark ride in DHS. They feel classic and timeless and would be a great addition to DHS imo. PLus they could plus it up a little.

"install set elements" sounds like interior work on the surface, but Stage 1 is missing you know an, interior. This might be all courtyard permits.

I did! It looks great. The lanterns really make it.

Would it have been better if the boats were floating in real water and pulled in unpredictable paths by an invisible track (thus not a spinner)? I would think so.

I’m not a hater! Flat rides/spinners are fine, and this might be the best one ever. But they’ve become ubiquitous and I think Disney can (and has done) better.

You saw Raiponce Tangled Spin in person this past week, or via online videos? Just asking, nothing nefarious.

No, not in person! Just online. I’m certain it’s better in person!

If track is arriving - what kind of schedule are we looking at compared to other projects?

Early or summer 2028 open?

Maybe then? Best I can find, Cosmic Rewind tracks began arriving around January of 2019, and that opened just over 3 years later. If you factor in Covid, maybe it could have been 2.5 years? Maybe this is slightly smaller scale, so 2 years.

Ah! Thanks for the reality check. So fall / before Christmas 2028 best case then.

Cosmic Rewind was also built a bit differently. They built the building and then put the track in. By all accounts they will do track and then building around with this one.

I seriously doubt the Door Coaster will look “bad” like Cosmic Rewind.

To me, it’s mostly instructive to the parking lot, similar to Flight of Passage.

I genuinely think the Soarin’ show building is more intrusive throughout more of the park; it’s about a toss-up.

Pretty much a non-issue either way.

Just re-watched Monsters University and Monsters Inc.

I like both movies, but the first is an actual masterpiece. I didn't realize Pete Doctor didn't write it and Andrew Stanton did instead.

I'm even more excited for both Toy Story 5 and the Door Coaster now.

Like you just watch the movie and when that whole set piece of the door warehouse starts, you literally immediately go to "THIS NEEDS TO BE A RIDE."

Villains, Monsters Inc. and Tropical Americas (IJA too) all being old concepts revived and expanded upon frankly make my confidence in those projects sky high.

All the nonsense with Galaxy's Edge or the EPCOT redo I just feel like is absent.

This era feels like Pandora 1.0, but with more clarity my TWDC. Makes me happy.

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.

What!? Harry Potter is a world that people actually want to visit and spend time in.

The monster world looks like a boring university that just teaches students how to work in a large factory.

A little premature me thinks. The execution determines whether it captures the playfulness and immersion that Disney used to be famous for.

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.

well….. that area was at one time -
Mama Melrose
Phineous & Furb meet
Christmas store
Toy Story pizza planet
And then muppet theatre and company store along with the piggy fountain. Haha

Talk about a mixed land!

It's a pretty generic description, it could be inside or outside. For example, installation of the new Cool Ship and the new snack stand at DHS both had permits that said "install set elements"
