Seems like it's been a while since they've published any rumors like they used to do. And they seemed to have stopped most criticism of Disney's theme park choices. It's hard to justify even visiting the site for anything but photo reports now.
What would you want to see added to Hollywoodland?
An area themed to classic Disney Animation with no Pixar. I would demo it and start over from scratch. In the spot of the Sunset theater showing watered down PhilharMagic would be an interactive moving walkway attraction in the same vein as the rumored Minions villain con attraction at Universal Studios Florida. It would be Fantasia themed where you would have a wireless wand and fire off at targets. the ride would not be pure screens like Web slingers but will move more practical sets with media integrated into them like Secret Life of Pets at Universal Studios Hollywood. For one of the E tickets that would go where Monsters is and expand into the transportation lot that would be freed up with the Eastern Gateway likely to be revived thanks to DL forward would be a trackless dark ride themed to Disney villains. The plot of the ride would involve major Disney Animation villains teaming up and you would join Mickey to fight them in an epic battle. The ride would have AR integrated in the ride cars based on a patent filed a while ago and would also be interactive. This E ticket would take the projection tech of Runaway Railway and mix it with practical effects like Secret Life of Pets of USH. The animation building could be replaced with something like the Play pavilion at Epcot that be changed out easily over time with new experiences. As for the Hyperion that can be demoed and Avengers campus can use that spot of a new attraction of its own.
Maroon Studios mini land with some Roger Rabbit attractions: Toontown Express (simulator), Roger Rabbit in Cartoon Mayhem 4D and Baby Herman's Runaway Baby Buggy Ride. The entertainment show will be Roger Rabbit's Lights, Toons, Action! starring Roger Rabbit, Baby Herman, Jessica Rabbit, Benny the Cab, Mickey, Donald, Goofy, Minnie, Daisy, Chip N' Dale, and Pluto.
Personally I have plenty of issues with it in the two parks it’s already in, so I have no confidence they’ll spend the money to do it right in DL. But I’d be pleasantly surprised!
That would make a whole lot of sense, but I guess I’ve reached my most cynical form because I could totally see them going with the retro-future design and still plopping down a Tron coaster. They’d change the colors of the show building and canopy (like they did on the other coast), plant some colorful flowers around it, and top it off with a parks blog post explaining how since the original Tron movie is from 1982, this is the perfect retro-future attraction for their new Tomorrowland.
You know, I saw your post and sighed, but then it occurred to me what an incessant perfectionist James Cameron is. I'm not saying I want an Avatar ride, but strangely I'd feel more confident about an upcoming attraction that required his approval.
