Or that the Swan and Dolphin had to be built in order to prevent the French showcase from being confused for the actual Parisian skyline.I'm surprised that there hasn't been some Eiffel Tower rumor that it has to come down in EPCOT due to rights issues.

I LOVE this Idea!! Wonderful!! I always thought they needed to do something like this to take the place of DCA's Carsland here in DHS. DHS don't need a copy of a land, but an entirely newly imagined Monsters Inc. land. Afterall, the hype for the movies will hit a all time high when the new film comes out next spring. Go ahead and get a head-start on a new land!

Cars Land works because it embodies nostalgia in the form of a bygone era of Americana, a spectacular unique landscape, and fantastic characters possible to replicate in a real environment.
I love Monsters Inc, watched it today actually, but I don't get the same impression from Monstropolis that I do from Radiator Springs. It is like a version of the lower east side of manhattan with Monster themed gags. That isn't the environment that needs the big land. Unless Monsters University introduces us to something else more compelling.
Here is my idea; extend Pixar Place to take over what should be the Bug's Life Playzone and retheme New York Street to Monstropolis.

As much as I like the idea of a monster inc themed land something tells me that carlsand would be more TDO friendly becouse of the merchandise it sells. I've just watched world of colour on YouTube, and while I don't want fantasmic to go this show would be great at DHS or any park in WDW, truly stunning.

The Studios version of Fantasmic is easily the worst of the three versions. Sad too because they have a lovely venue for it.
I'd take any variant of World Of Color any day.

I'd love to see an indiana jones temple of doom mine roller coaster, imagine entering pankot palace, stand by could go through the palace and secret passage, recreating the movie scenes with some of the more extreme parts toned down a bit, i'd love to see chilled monkey brains on the table, but it might be a bit much for most folks...
RSR modified to a pod racing ride from stars wars would be pretty sweet as well...

I just saw this report on DHS over on another site: http://.com/archives/9719
About 80% of it has been talked about and posted here before, but the writer made some nice images of what he thinks the expansion of DHS will entail. He says in no certain terms that the Carsland at DCA is going to be cloned for DHS.
I'm disappointed in that, because I think that DHS needs a Cars area but it needs to be different from Radiator Springs (which is already at Art of Animation resort anyway). Surely there can be another Cars-inspired area with a different look.
It does seem like the ugly moon bounce Sorcerer's Hat is coming down, but this writer also says that the Chinese Theater is being torn down and instead a Carthay Circle is going to be built as the entrance to the Great Movie Ride. That doesn't make a lot of sense to me, as why would Disney take the new icon for DCA and clone it in Florida?
That would be odd.
The writer also says that there will be a few little Star Wars and Muppets additions to DHS but the big addition will be the Monsters Inc roller coaster and Carsland. Looks like DHS is going to just be "Pixar Park" and they are going to go cheap with the Star Wars area as they don't think it will be popular much longer, which is weird because it's been popular for 30 years and I doubt it will stop being popular for another 30.
I don't know how accurate is but I'm skeptical of a lot in this report because it really just seems like he thinks they're going to take all the plans from DCA and rebuild them in Florida. Not sure why Disney would do that as I think it would jeopardize the success of DCA.
Also, another interesting note in the article is that the writer thinks that John Lasseter will be given control of the DHS remodeling instead of being made CEO of Disney, so this is the consolation prize.
What do you think of the news in this article?

Someone posted that article in another thread and it seems that its basically made up of tentative plans combined with unfounded rumours created on the internet. I'd take a lot of it with a pinch of salt right now, it doesn't sound like the Chinese Theatre facade is going anywhere just yet while the insiders who first posted about Carsland to DHS have said it would be a scaled-down version rather than the full land. And it wouldn't be a DHS rumour without some Star Wars and Muppets .

What I don't get is that everyone is saying Avatar isn't family friendly with all of the violence in the film. Now some of you guys are saying a middle earth section would be awesome. Ummmm lord of the rings is not family friendly last time I saw the films. It would be a successful land but Avatar is way more family friendly than Lord of the rings

I'd say Avatar and Lord of the Rings are equally PG-13.
If we're really playing the "family friendly" card, there's all kinds of shootings and hangings and stabbings and whatnot in the Pirates movies, and they're not even good.
Not that I'm a huge Avatar fan, but I don't see the Lord of the Rings universe translating that well into a large-scale theme park attraction area. That world, as portrayed in the Jackson movies is mostly based on huge vistas and are on such a scale that they just couldn't work without actually putting the guests on an airplane and flying them to New Zealand.
For this reason you can build, say, the Ewok tree village in your theme park and have it look halfway decent, but something like Hobbiton just wouldn't work.

Same with Potter. But the appeal is obviously there. I don't think Avatar has the wide appeal to all age groups. But I could be wrong.

I'd say the evidence is there. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_highest-grossing_films
Besides that, it's space monsters. IN SPACE.
That always has appeal.

Although everyone here is chanting in angry mob "remove the giant hat!", I actually like the hat. I don't think that it is correctly placed, but I still like it. (that's probably because I am a Fantasia fan, but anyway) I think that the hat should not be removed, but transplanted. Possibly somewhere else in the park? Idk, but I like that hat, and it IS the biggest representation of the icon in any Disney area.... but Disney made the wrong choice of placing it in front of the Chinese Theatre....
