DHS Soundstage 1 Renovation - Toy Storia Mania expansion

[Gabriel Garcia]

Well Tom did work on the Ratatouille project and since that is under pixar maybe there's a chance that is whats coming to the soundstage. I actually wouldn't mind a Toy Story expansion since it really is a great ride and something big will come to the Backlot Tour area and the Star Wars expansion somewhere down the line. I am excited about the future of this park!

I would love to take a look at those plans too. There are way too many rumors out there. What is it? Monsters, inc. dark ride? Monsters Door Coaster? Ratatouille? Toy Story Playland? Cars Land? Star Wars? Up dark ride? Chicken Little spinner?

 

[Figaro928]

Just a thought. Feasability aside - if they add a 3rd track to TSMM, at some point they would need to shut down the ride at the very least to incorporate the entrance and exit. Closing TSMM for any amount of time would be insanity on DCO, right?

TP2000, is that you?

What? I've been a member of this website since the late 90s...........back before it even had forums.

I know Lassiter is not technically an inagineering employee. What has he worked on with Imagineering other than Carland?

He has a chief creative advisor title or something... basically he can stick his nose in and swing his third leg if he wants, but isn't responsible for carrying the load. He got involved with Nemo Subs at DL right after the acquisition and pretty much plays when and where he wants. The studios are his primary focus.

It was just a friendly joke, because he uses similar phrases when comparing Florida to California. That said, he's a respected member around here.

Chicken Little was fired and no longer resides here.

Fun to speculate on all the possibilities isn't it?

Better be....

Completely inconspicuous.

I'm calling it's going to be The ratatouille ride from Disneyland Paris

Wasn't Fitzgerald involved in that development?

My hope: use the space for Monster's Inc Door Coaster. Bring Bug's life playland from California for the kiddies and incorporate the HISTK playset. Then we'd have Toy Story, Monster's Inc, and Bug's Life represented in Pixar Place. We'd be all set for phase II: Mater's Junkyard Jamboree, Cozy Cone Snacks, Flo's Diner, and an original Cars dark ride that borrows from Cali but still unique to this coast. Then you have a well-rounded Pixar place and can add Star Wars. Imagine the merchandise they could sell. Gives a new meaning to Stars and Cars parade now!!!!!!!!

Skipper John being involved is a major plus. Here's hoping that this is for a heavily-themed PIXAR ride. C'mon, John!

If you add in a Wall-e themed ride/section at the outskirts it could work as a nicely themed transition from a Star Wars expansion into Pixar land without the abrupt changes that are strewn about DHS today.

SO, it seems like something big is happening. I am setting my self up for a big disappointment I fear.

I think "big" is ambiguous. It seems something is happening. It's likely Pixar related. Given the nature of SS1, it's probably some sort of dark ride. It might very be a C-ticket like Mike and Sulley to the Rescue (which is fine, the park needs such things, but isn't IMHO "big" in the sense of some groundbreaking new attraction).

 

[spacemt354]

I believe SS1 is to the right (where Toy Story Mania is written vertically) of this drawing as seen above. Queue entrance is the four doors at top right. Potato Head stage is bottom right. Street would be top. They could mirror ride and split queue.

Ah yes. I thought it looked strange.

Though if they're mirroring the ride, why are we calling it a 3rd track? Wouldn't it be 3rd and 4th track?

Just seems like overkill to me. I know with dueling dumbo and two version of mission space, Disney has duplicated their rides before, but with the big guns out and about in the parks and ride closures and whatnot, it feels like something more.

I'm rooting for an Incredibles ride.

Or here's a wild thought: Oz, The Great and Powerful...? (Wasn't that great of a movie, but it made a ton of cash...)

My hope: use the space for Monster's Inc Door Coaster. Bring Bug's life playland from California for the kiddies and incorporate the HISTK playset.

One thing I've thought for some time is that is they were ever to convert HISTLK to a Bug's Life theme (wouldn't need that much), they could easily chop off some of the playground -- it's huge -- and use that space to put one or two of the flat rides from It's a Bug's Land.

 

[math mathson]

Monster's Inc Rollar coaster please!

 

[Magenta Panther]

Monster's Inc Rollar coaster please!

I'd be down for that too.

 

[lobelia]

The walkway between TSMM and the back of the Great Movie Ride is already congested. Adding another popular ride could make it worse. Hope they consider it when planning.

 

[neoshinok]

Never thought I'd be excited for a potential clone but Crush Coaster, Ratatouille Adventure or any Monsters duplicate would work wonders in that spot. Are there known blueprints for the fabled Monsters coaster or is that just bluesky fiction?
