Actually, as crazy as it sounds, the bold is kind of a reason for me.
After long discussion and debate since last year, I've come to my own conclusion that I'd rather not see any sort of Carsland in DHS.
1) Because DCA and DL fans drool over it and cherish it like their child. And even though I don't mind clones, in this circumstance, I'd like to see something original, because there are so many better Pixar properties out there.
2) Value-engineering it for DHS won't add any value to the park. It will just look inferior to the west coast version
3)
While I do think RSR is a nice attraction and an E-ticket, riding it last Christmas, it's a tad overrated to me. It's overpriced, and while clearly popular with 180+ min wait times, it's not worth it whatsoever in my view.
4) It will also bring a new dynamic to the park. A full blown Carsland placed in the back corner of DHS will now house 3 of the 9 "rides" in the park. That really shifts the balance of power. And would it still be called Carsland? or would it be part of Pixar Place? Neither one of those cases helps the park's image in my view. To me it's just too much Cars. DCA could handle it because it has other attractions to counterbalance Carsland. In DHS, Carsland would stick out like a sore thumb.
5) However, people may say there's no way you can turn down the addition of an attraction that will create those types of wait times. And that's true. But if you value engineer the attraction, alter it, or change the dynamic, there is no guarantee it will be as popular as the west coast version. There's not even a guarantee that if you simply duplicate it that it'll be as popular. Granted it probably will be as popular, just because of the lack of attractions in the park, however other unique attractions I feel would be just as, if not even more popular.
6)
Disney has a collection of popular Pixar films and characters to choose from. A "Pixar Place" to me, means a collection of a variety of Pixar films, not Toy Story, maybe one other, then a giant Carsland. That isn't balanced to me. Use the land available for attractions revolving around Monster's inc, The Incredibles, A Bug's Life (to convert the HISTA play set) Brave, and much more. And if you're going to take anything from Carsland, all I ask for is Flo's Cafe. That place was awesome and would love that as a dining option in DHS.
