I "forgot" to mention to my husband that it goes backwards. He freaked out. LOL. I agree, just when I think of Everest, I hear Brad cursing in my ear.

I think DHS does need an expansion. One thing that I am not understanding in this thread is the addition of Cars Land. Everyone complains that Disney has lost creativity, recycles the same rides from other locations and all I hear about the Avatar expansion is "meh soarin 2.0". I say let the west coast have their cars and let DHS get something new and creative for the east coast. Look what happened to little mermaid, we got a great que and an exact clone of a dark ride. What did people say? Lack of creativity and lazinesson WDI's part. Wouldn't it be the same for Cars? I figure with the complaints we would want something new....

One of my greatest wishes for WDW is to make this sort of addition to the MK. Using the Indy Jones attraction initially conceived for DL as inspiration, I'd love to see Disney add a mountain to Advertureland that included these rides and had the railroad and Jungle Cruise running through it.

Everest is a good ride, and certainly a pretty one! The backwards bit never fails to deliver.
But as far as modern coasters go, it is pretty tame. Family friendly. Here's what's out there

What do you suggest as an alternative? I would say it should stay as a Pixar property...

Insiders say no. Nobody can say anything for sure yet. Crazy times at WDW. At least we're not talking about napkins.

These rides are a dime a dozen at places like Busch gardens, six flags, etc. I hope they never have a place at Disney.

Wow!!! I just got back from throwing up after watching that video
. I am definitely getting old, I don't think I would try any of those. Based on that video, anything at WDW is a family coaster.

I'm not sure what I would put. Maybe have mini lands with the different pixar themes. Incredibles ride, monsters inc ride with the scare factory theme, wall-e ride with the space theme. If they did a cars land in DHS,what about a radiator springs racer type ride BUT theme the land to the second movie and have the world grand prix or a fin mcmissile spy ride? So we could have RS out west and the grand prix far out east?

If these types of coasters are already out there, then I don't see a necessity to have them in Disney World. Although Disney is a family destination, I understand that not every attraction can be something everyone can ride, because motion sickness/unrideability is not strictly designated for intense attractions. I know some people who can't ride Pooh because of the Tigger scene, and others who can't ride Astro Orbiter becasue of the spinning. But rides like Goliath, or El Toro, or Kingda Ka are not Disney material, and I hope they never get built.
The thrills in Disney relate to the stories of the attractions. Dropping in ToT because you're in the Twilight Zone. Going backwards/forwards trying to escape the Yeti in Everest. Racing to catch a concert in RnRC. All those are believeable and therefore, make the thrills that much more exciting for me. I'm just not sure how I can justify the 0-120mph lift off into a 450ft incline (Kingda Ka) and have it relate to some kind of story. The story is always most important for Disney, and that's the reason why I like it so much. I feel the story will be secondary if a Kingda Ka type of attraction is built for Disney.
And in addition, most of those coasters rise above 200 ft. Anything above 200ft in Florida will require a red light on the top, which would be like a blinking zit on the themed attraction.

Yeah, no thank you. lol
Completely disagree. Hulk is an eyesore. Total lack of theming except that it is green. The whole thing is entirely exposed track. What about this ride is well themed in your opinion?
I do agree Disney could make this great though. I just hope they would execute far better than hulk.

the launch tube is a great touch and most of the track is kept toward the back of the ride station....and some exposed track is not a bad thing.....not everyone can hide EVERY coaster in a mountain =P ok im joking....but seriously some track being exposed is not an eye sore...i like seeing just a bit so when your approaching your getting the build up in your stomach....montu is another great example its lift and some inversions are exposed but alot of the coaster is low to the earth....granted i love roller coasters and although i agree they dont mix well with some theming the entire track layout is not required to be hidden for it to be well themed....just my two cents.

I love steel coasters but I'm also 2 hours away from Carowinds. That's not what I'm looking for at Disney. But my cousin, on the other hand, was upset at the lack of coasters at Disney. Can't please everyone, I guess.

Where would they put it? If you don't know the answer to that question, where would you put it?
