DHS Makeover - What we know so far.....

[GoTheDistance]

I could definitely see Buzz being replaced after the opening of TSL. I do really enjoy Laugh Floor but I can't imagine they'd actually spend money on moving an existing attraction when they could spend money on something new instead. I could see something Big Hero 6 going in either location, or even Stitch. I'd hope they'd focus on the robotics and science/engineering perspective of course. I hope Tomorrowland goes more sci fi.

Monstropolis would definitely be cool, but I'm more on the multi-Pixar IP train. I don't believe that the choices have to be either an immersive and completely themed land to one specific IP or a lesser themed multi IP area... Disney has the capacity to mix several IPs into one cohesive immersive land.

and while they are at it.....replace tomorrowland speedway... it takes up a MASSIVE footprint multiple attractions could be put in it's space

Agree. A big argument for getting a rid of Tomorrowland Speedway is Tokyo Disneyland is getting a rid of their version of the race track.

A big argument for not is that this is WDW and there is plenty of space to build new without removing old.

I'd like a refurbished Speedway.

MILF is a screen based attraction, and they DO move theater attractions around... but i dont see it happening

It was planned a few years back.

I just don't see even after a refurb how it can thematically fit into Tomorrowland. I think this attraction alone plays a huge role in the land looking so outdated.

They could place milf along with the door coaster in the power plant building (forgot the name). Then have shops and restaurants as part of the city with the university on the other side. Hate to say it but, the could have games and a character dance party (since its college)

Electric cars that dont look out dated with a good suspension.

So if Monsters, Inc. actually happens, and the negotiations to implement it into a land in the park go through, when would we expect this to happen? I'm assuming they'd start another phase once Toy Story Land is nearing completion.

spring 2017 I'm guessing. Depends on what it is as well, and how far ahead in development they are.

Probably sometime next year. Whenever LMA closes. By next Christmas or we'd have Osborne next year.

Good point. I had forgotten about the Osborne Lights element to the overall plans. Should be a VERY interesting year for the park next year.

Could you please elaborate?

There was a proposal to remove SGE and move TFL in there. Two smaller semi circular theatres. Racked seating. Intimate Comedy club setting. Then the CV theatre could be the queue and preshow for the Tron Coaster.

Obviously it didn't happen.

I wouldn't be upset to see the speedway refurbished into a SugarCrush themed go kart attraction. I know it touches tomorrowland but the other end is in fantasyland so I think it needs to be changed.

No Osborne next year doesn't necessarily mean they are going to build something in the streets area starting next year. We know Star Wars land will be over there somewhere, so there may be logistical reasons for not having Osborne next year.

Logistics, not construction, should be preventing the lights from returning.

since the construction entrance branches from the current south park entrance from world way to between CC and LMA... they may need the SoA as staging

Do you think there is any chance that Laugh Floor could move to DHS and be replaced by a new attraction at MK? I mean, there is that reported $350M earmarked for MK and Tomorrowland is the area most in need of improvement.....

Excellent point, but it begs the question in my mind about the future of LMA. If the SoA are will be needed for staging/access to construction, then LMA seems like it would be cut off and have to close. Will we lose yet another attraction without something new opening? Toy Story Land can't open soon enough.

 

[Fox&Hound]

Even if they don't move it (assuming Monstropolis happens), I could see them closing it - along with Buzz - if they can come up with a proper Tomorrowland redo.

Oh I love Buzz! Would be sad to see that go if that happens...
