The irony of all there is is if you listen to a particular blogger that I don't necessarily care for… Mel Brooks was brought in to help create an attraction at MGM studios…

Apparently it never got off the board. Too edgy for Disney.
I would love to see Mel Brooks at any Disney attraction. I love his voice so much.

Hey everybody, I've been reading these forums for a while and this is my first post here. Anyway, I would much rather a Monstropolis Land over a Cars Land, even if The Cars Land DHS gets was different than DCA's. I think it'd be awesome if a Monsters Inc. Land would be separated by two parts: A Monstropolis City Area and a Monsters University Area. In the city-area, you can have the scare factory where the long-awaited door coaster e-ticket could be. Then maybe a restaurant (full or quick service) in the employee cafeteria featuring an AA Roz. Also this could be an opportunity to move the laugh floor over to a more fitting location than tomorrowland. Then in the MU area, maybe a scare class interactive show where selected guests can learn to be scarers. Another attraction could be a dark ride taking you through the MU movie similar to the little mermaid in MK. These are just my ideas, but Hopefully they'll at least choose monsters inc. over cars as the second Pixar movie to get a land at DHS.

Welcome to WDWMagic. Excellent first post.

This is going to be difficult to explain and articulate. I don't want anyone to take this the wrong way. I'm somewhat mixed on the Cars rumors for DHS (if there's any truth to them), and admittedly a bit worried.

I'm seeing this from two angles though. With attractions/rides, I prefer unique non-cloned experiences. But if you're going to clone a ride/land, it's important to ensure it's at least as good as the original, the standard that was set. If you don't, then you get situations like WDW's POTC, the track (as opposed to trackless) variants of Winnie the Pooh, or any of the Tower of Terror clones. Inferior "cloned" experiences leave a bad taste.

I admit that while i definitely have a preference for high quality ORIGINAL experiences, there are far worse ideas than a direct well done clone of Radiator Springs Racers (Toy Story Land being an example). Disneyland purists and people like Photodave may hate me for saying that (sorry). But a proper clone of a great ride is preferable to a poor experience (even an original one).

So a rumor calls for a DHS' variant of Cars Land with some sort of interior dark ride instead of RSR. I'm a fan of dark rides and welcome less thrilling experiences when done with quality, but that's a very tough act to follow and it's hard for me to imagine a dark ride with the same IP attached being able to live up to that standard. I also imagine they'd be replicating aspects of RSR on a lesser scale. Plus, a lot of modern dark rides are becoming very projection heavy as opposed to using real sets and animatronics (such as Ratatouille and even a fair bit of Mystic Manor). RSR was a nice reprieve from that. I don't want a shortened watered down variant of RSR with a bunch of video screens instead of sets, rockwork and animatronics.

So i'm kind of unsure what to think about this situation at the present time...
