You're right. It wouldn't be a problem if only bringing over the Radiator Springs Racers. I'm also in favor of DHS going the route of a Pixar place expansion rather than a copy of what's out at DCA.

Personally, I think they should save money and go with MI, Rat clone, Indy clone, and Cantina character meal (that instantly upgrades DHS) ... then take the savings from RSR (using the assumption that an Indy clone would be cheaper than a RSR clone) and do something in EPCOT.

i completly agree, the addition of all of these will in the long run be much more prospurous for DHS, i would much rather see the addition of all of these then just the single RSR clone

To quote and agree with what you said, they could then add some coin and put a new continent (don't care which one but would prefer Australia) in AK. They could also either build a real (not a Mongello) E-Ticket in MK or add a villains land and show all of the parks some love. IMNVHO, Epcot and DHS need the most help, though.

I love the idea but I'm thinking the money they save from theoretically going from RSR to Indy would be in the 100 mil or less range ... So not a whole lot that can be done with that, but we're just blue skying anyway.

That's certainly not enough to get Mt Fuji built in Japan but could do wonders to Imagination and Energy as well as finish SSE. Just a little bit more and they could add the Rhine River attraction to Germany and maybe the Bullet Train to Japan and Epcot just became really fresh. Blue Sky, I know. I wish they would make me President; I'd fire the accountants and while their replacements were being hired, green light a ton of stuff

Sad that those things aren't being completed now.

You are very good at being a troll. You're also 100% wrong. Myself and others had posted on here prior to the announcement that discussions were being had. Jim Hill mentioned it on a live version of my show a month prior, etc. The discussions were well known, the timeframe was not.

Put your money where your mouth is. $100 to Give Kids the World that a Universal park passes a Disney park in attendance by the first full year of Potter phase 2 on the TEA reports.

I would think that as long as attendance at IOA and USF is at a rate of increase (or decrease) that's in line with Epcot/DHS and DAK for 2012 USF should be satisfied. They know they have major projects well underway while Disney hasn't broken ground on anything substantial in Epcot, DHS or DAK. Disney has yet to prove they can truly fasttrack something amazing and even if they announce Carsland, Star Wars Land, and Beastly Kingdom tomorrow, Harry Potter 2.0 will open up before any of them.

I've only been in and out sporadically, but the discussion is not about Lou Mongello.
But it's also not about Cars Land going in to DHS, because that hasn't been greenlit yet. Despite what some other websites said would happen on December 6th.
No. A seres of plans that were virtually green lit but then removed.

Disney should be asking themselves, how can we make something that will make people so genuinely excited that they'll wait in those kinds of lines?

The fact that Jimmy believes that DHS had higher attendance than IOA on the day The Wizarding World Of Harry Potter opened shows exactly why everyone should have him "ignored". He is an idiot. And that is not a personal attack. Simply a fact.
Concerning the PIXAR HodgePodgeLand plan. I am wondering how they would market such an expansion. Marketing a spectacular Carsland would be easy, but PIXAR HodgePodgeLand? Not so much. It would be like a battery of individual ads for individual rides and defeat the whole "new land" concept that the WWOHP made so popular. And given WDWs current marketing department I am not having a good feeling about that.
And given the line up M.Rudolf laid out, I would switch out Flo's for a Rat Restaurant attached to the ride. Just having Flo's from Radiator Springs feels really random and unnecessary.

If Cars 2 would of been a smash we would of seen Carsland. It was far from that and the intense merch sales that it had from the 2005-2007 area do not justify an entire Carsland for the powers at be anymore.
If construction started now it would take at least two years just to complete a value engineered version. There is no way they would put a resturant that was not really featured much in the film it was actually in. We would just get the value engineered clone of the main ride.
If anything Disney Florida is on the level right now of just doing something that in their minds is 'good enough' where we get a Mater flat ride in one of the smaller soundstages where we have painted flat sets inside and an overhead recording announcement of "Alright everybodeh, here comes that biiiiiig scene we got to film" as the flat ride starts from an annoying overdone voice.

I can back this up. I very clearly remember the post about the negotiations.
