I could see the Monsters coaster as part of a "Pixar Place" type land. That part of the land is naturally cut off from the main drag, so put up arches for "Pixar Studios" like at DHS and have it be the place where the characters live. Make an UP walkthrough house, Ratatouille-themed counter service, etc. I know it's a lot of Pixar, but that's what's been popular lately. In thirty years, only us cranky old folks will care about Pixar vs. Disney. This isn't like the Power Rangers deal, where Pixar can just be sold off again later, IMO. Pixar and Disney are joined at the hip. Pixar and WDFA are not about the buildings or the chairs or the computers... those aren't special; it's the creative talent that make the companies great, and there has been much commingling in that department.
I'm actually less excited about the Tron bike coaster. I never got to ride the Peoplemover or Rocket Rods, but is there a lot of indoor track? When I think of any Tron ride, regardless of the ride system, I want to be in that world, the grid. That means black everywhere. At night, it would still be cool to zip over by the sub lagoon in your little light cycle, but will it be the same at noon in August? I just don't think you'll be able to spend enough time "on the grid".
BTW, is Al sick or something? Did anyone else notice that this wasn't an "Al Lutz column", but it was rather a "Miceage Update" written by "Miceage", and it had all the usual Al trademarks in there? Was he signing the whole column at the end or just that last paragraph? Every other columnist on that site has their name at the top, so what's up?
