MI2 Greenlighted! DHS Coaster Too?

[Krack]

I think it's more likely that they'll wait until the film comes out, sees if it makes major money, and then proceed (or not) on the ride based on the film's popularity.

Disney is never proactive on stuff like this. They always wait until the film property is dead and buried before they ever get around to building a park attraction. Just look at the American Idol show.

Hell, they've got as close as a sure thing as you can get on new movie franchises coming up with Prince of Persia and TRON and we haven't heard word one about potential park attractions. Or look at LOST - it's only been the most popular show on television for 5 years, yet nothing in DHS. Same with Star Tours 2 (geez, you think it might have been a good idea to refurb the ride while the new trilogy was in the theaters?).

I wouldn't hold my breath on the Monsters Inc coaster unless they've somehow managed to put a princess or faerie in the film.

Sweet! So sequels = attractions? Guess that means we'll see a Tron attraction soon!

You've already got a tronorail

Synergy aka The Death of Creativity

A Tron attraction would be very synergistic, something you probably would not be against.

Greenlit is much more palatable.

Disney has confirmed a Monsters Inc. 2 in 2012. This pretty much confirms the DHS coaster will be greenlighted if it isn't already. At least that is my opinion.

No this doen't confirm anything, Cars 2 is coming out soon do you see a Cars attraction being built? I hope it happens but the two have nothing to do with each other.

LOL that's a serious leap! I think until we see actual construction underway, this one is very much on hold.

As much as I would love to see the ride...I don't see it either right now

Well, there is an entire Cars Land being built out in DL, but I agree; I'm not seeing a direct link between the Monsters 2 movie and a new coaster. I think Disney can create all of the synergy they want from expanded merchandise sales and with M&Gs in the parks....

But not in WDW. DIsney never builds attractions to promote their films.

If there's one movie that certainly doesn't need a sequel it's Nemo.

i completely agree with you! Nemo does not need a sequal, that movie is getting on my nerves, nemo is taking over the park! :lookaroun:lookaroun:lookaroun


and yes, they DO create attractions to promote their films! HELLOOOO Toy Story 3: Toy Story Mania opens in WDW, Finding Nemo: Finding Nemo: The Musical, and the Seas with Nemo and Friends! not to mention if Australia comes to Animal Kingdom, they say they will make Crush Coaster... i see a sign of Nemo 2 :brick::hammer::dazzle: Next thing u know, you'll see the Amazing Bolt Adventure if Bolt 2 comes out :lol:, and not to mention the very VERY old rumor about wonders of life at epcot turning into the great incredibles ride! (not like that will ever happen...) and best of all......... THEY WILL MAKE THE MOST AWESOME PIXAR PARADE EVER IN HOLLYWOOD STUDIOS!!! oh wait, they already have :ROFLOL:

If work is already being done, do we know what kind of coaster it will be? Indoors vs. outdoors, etc.

Work is not being done. There are plans that may be moving along slowly but no work has started. It would be an indoor small coaster next to TSM.

I think there was some speculation when the BL Tour, Backlot Express and something else I can't recall all went down for refurb at the same time. But it all amounted to nothing in the end......

TDO would be stupid not to approve it, but I guess they aren't the brightest group anyways. I really hope it happens.

Agreed all I am saying that it is silly to assume the ride has anything to do with the second film.

I've got to chime in with JT with this one. I'm sure all imagineering and planning is finished for the MI coaster, it's not a matter of "if" but "when."

Dis would probably rather wait a couple of years and let the shine from the Fantasyland expansion wear off before moving on to DHS, but the cross-promotion and marketing of the ride along with the movie is too great of an opportunity to pass up.

I don't think it's a stretch at all to think that the coaster is much closer to reality now that the movie has been confirmed.

I don't understand the need for any sequels, the story is complete leave it alone. Sequels are extinguishing creativity. With the exception of maybe Aliens 2, T2 and Godfather 2 they were all repetitive. Did Disney see the need to do Snow White 2 the return of Grumpy?

Give me something new and original.

If they are good why not? Most Disney sequels suck but a lot of sequels are better than the original. For example Empire Stikes back.

 

[hrcollectibles]

ya im with the majority i dont really see the coaster happening but is there really being prep work done!!!!!!!!

I agree.. I do not see the green lighting of a movie meanig the green lighting of a ride/attraction

Empire technically a sequal..mm not sure. more like part of a series. I cannot name any sequals besides the three mentioned even close to being as good as the original.
