News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

You know what's funny?
It will be Vekoma's family inverted coaster, like Dragonflier at Dollywood, but with an elevator lift that I don't think exists yet for a full-size coaster.



It's a surprisingly fun ride.

The Dragonflier is only one minute in duration, while this one is supposed to be more from what I am hearing around here...

Absolutely. The issue with AC is it would cost more because they’d need to build more and build offices elsewhere…and still have an empty Muppet Courtyard area.
I think one of the other factors was that Monster Inc land can drop easily onto the MV/Star Tours footprint, whereas the AC area can be built out in a much more meaningful way for a more aggressive future expansion.

Do we have instances of elevator lifts for entire trains? I guess the drop tracks on Hagrid’s are similar in principle.

I hope this novel element isn’t a source of significant downtime. This should have some impressive AAs that will have reliability issues of their own. Can’t run the ride if the Mike Wazowski that interacts with your train has gone limp. I suspect this concern will cause some characters to just appear on screens placed in doors.

Is there a system that allows each individual car to lift and the join together as a train?
There have been proposals for coaster trains that temporarily separate their cars but I don’t think they’ll do that on a suspended coaster using lifts. RotR reveals the perils of stringing together too many ride systems, even if the result can be really cool.
