News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

Wrong on first as another mentioned, imaginary speculation on the second

Even if it were the case they can't decide, that's better than blind decisions. What exactly would be wrong with Disney taking more time to evaluate options?

Is Uni not going full steam ahead? Have you not seen the aerials?

There’s obviously conflicting concept art. They claim that this is a green-lit project, so why no details?

Their decision making process is defective. It takes too long and arrives at compromises that please nobody.

At least Uni can make decisions quickly. Disney seems to take the design by committee approach which takes 19373626616363 years to complete and produces a mediocre result which lacks the creative vision to please anyone while simultaneously offending everyon

They announce so early out of desperation. They have so little that they actually build and when they do build something, it’s never a home run anymore. They’ve lost their touch.

I think most of their new attractions in the past are awesome. Starwars, pandora, guardians, Tron. They are awesome! No?
I’ll give you Tiana, but I think at least one of the people responsible for Tiana and the Epcot debacle are no longer in the company.

Anyway just got back from Dis and Universal. I’ll say this, Universal isn’t exactly making proper investments in their current parks. I mean some of their rides were in a Six Flags type of condition, especially that flume ride. That thing is gross. You think DreamWorld land and that other recent stand up shooter thing are good additions???

You need to read up on some Disney history if you think the pace of building has always been faster and the results were always amazing...

It’s because I have read my Disney history that I know they can do better. Their current leadership is inept.

Each attraction you mentioned is good, but not a home run. Not trying to nitpick, but each one has its own quirk that snaps defeat from the jaws of victory. Whether it’s that the ride is too short or that it replaced something beloved. They just can’t seem to expand their parks in creative ways like they used to. Everest was their last expansion that checked every box as awesome. Since then, each new ride has had some kind of drawback it can’t atone for.

Something something epic universe something Disney is failing.

For me Pandora was the last great thing with basically no downsides.

They just announce everything earlier, which makes it look less stable when it’s probably the same amount of stable.

Did you see how quick they built transformers? An attraction just as complex as Rise in like what… a quarter of the time?

Transformers? As complex as rise?

They announce early because they can monetize their announcements with D23.

Woah, I've been agreeing with most of your points but let's not get crazy.

Haha! Maybe I’m remembering it wrong and giving it too much credit…. I’ve only been on it once.

I rather enjoy transformers as a ride but yeah, it's no where near rise in complexity.

Rise is more intricate with the trackless layout and the sheer amount of effects/the simulator part at the end/AAs, meanwhile TF is largely the same tech used in Spider-Man and soon the DLR Avengers ride.

As stated, Transformers: The Ride 3D is not “just as complex” as Rise of the Resistance. It doesn’t even have the live fire of its predecessor. The Orlando attraction was also the third time the attraction had been built, with a strong edict to just do it so improvements were not made and mistakes repeated. It had also spent years in development. The attraction was first developed for Universal Studios Hollywood but never received full funding. Genting liked the concept and agreed to fund the project if it opened at their then in development Universal Studios Singapore first.

Most importantly it is not something Universal could do today. It was an amazing flex that existed very specifically in that moment.

I was thinking about the elevator and the 2nd level when I said “just as complex” - but I do think I’m blending transformers and Spider-Man in my mind. I put spider-man up there with Indiana jones as being among the best of the best.

Transformers has an elevator

It is still an odd addition to the park - but it’s done really well.

I’ve made this point as well.
I was around back then, and the response was very visceral, so many man babies crying about how it doesn’t belong, no one likes avatar, I’m never going to ride it. Same thing. Guess what people love it.
