A Spirited 15 Rounds ...

[Animaniac93-98]

Most "Pixar" in the parks is just Toy Story and Finding Nemo anyway, and I'm tired of seeing those over and over again.

DCA is the major exception with Cars Land and Bug's Land and a Monsters Inc dark ride.

You see, that's how natural Pixar feels as part of the Disney brand: That you forget that Incredibles is indeed purchased IP what with being a pre-buyout Pixar film.

Of course the reasons we haven't gotten an Incredibles ride until the stupid coaster overlay was because Universal snagged the exclusive contract to the ride system they wanted to use. And that's why we have Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

WRT Pixar,

Remember PIXAR though independent was a 'captive' studio with lots of Disney DNA in it's organization, I don't believe with the notable exception of 'The Iron Giant' PIXAR ever did anything as an independent studio. But I'm not an expert on movies or studios.

There USED to be these guys called 'imagineers' who designed and built ride systems, Now it's just 'what can we buy off the shelf'...

Strange how the company who hired all the creative folks the Accountaneers showed the door to are now starting to design unique ride systems for the park down the road like the new Nintendo Coaster which will appear to jump just like Mario himself...

Odd what a focus on entertainment instead of finance can do.

The Incredibles don't need park time because the movie is good, or not.

The parks need to be looked at in their own regard, and that should decide what they need.

The parks should not be 'synergy your favourite IP multiplexes'. That recurrent dream of managers where the parks are reduced to a collection of empty backlot warehouses, filled with experiences within that can be changed overnight with a new marquee and IP. DHS, WDSP, USF all tried and regretted it.

Well said, Well said indeed.

Yet 'The Incredibles' had a bunch of scenes which easily lend themselves to theme park attractions Syndrome's transit system, The RV on a rocket booster, Frozone's ice slides vs the killer robot, Just like the never built Monsters Inc Door Coaster, Not all movies have those 'built in' attraction features.

I do agree the MAJORITY of IP's don't have anything attraction worthy that will stand the test of time.

You are a liar and clearly don’t know what you are even talking about.

Yeah. He doesn’t even know the coaster jumps like Mine Carts from Donkey Kong, not like Mario

At best I'll call your entire post misinformed.

Iron giant was not Pixar

Why no, that wouldn't do. We need more Toy Story attractions. Especially ones where you shoot at stuff. We don't have enough of those!

Tokyo has an actual Monsters Inc ride.

My boys would LOSE THEIR MINDS if WDW got that ride!

You should see Hunny Hunt.

I often wonder if that isn't on purpose. So many modern Disney movies seem to have fragments in them that resemble a blueprint for a ride. I don't know if the movie makers are fishing for a ride, or if this is ordained from higher up. Or if it is just the result of the creative team existing in a Disney creative universe, where this imagery is never far away from the consciousness.

I just watched the 4k video...TDO needs to get their act together!

Not to mention their electrical parade which just got a refresh this summer.

Aahh...a night parade AND fireworks!

We'll never have that in the MK...

Thanks for the links - my boys loved them!!! Their favorite was spotting who was coming up next in the parade (always a contest with those two, lol!)

You should be a TDR travel agent. You certainly sound like one.

If Jim Hill's Monster's Inc Land rumor comes to fruition for DHS, I would absolutely welcome this attraction in DHS. For me, this was a coinflip between this and Hunny Hunt.

I know my boys would pick Monsters. It's a tough call for me. Hubby would probably be torn, too.

Why not have both?? Seriously, they act like they are broke and if uncle Bob doesn't send a Christmas check nothing will get built. Yeah they would rather build stores and hotels but it is the attractions that make Orlando the #1 destination. No one comes here for the wonderful hotels and shopping, they want to ride and be wowed.

^^^ THIS ^^^

You forget stores are CHEAP and show positive revenue almost immediately, Attractions are expensive and show no direct revenue which can be attributed to them.
