News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[celluloid]

Sounds dangerous was derided as the worst show ever created don’t act like it wasn’t.

I enjoyed it. It was definitely a low operational budget show. I also know that Monster Sound was once in there. So we don't have to pretend better things have not been in that theater and pretend that better things could not be. I get that it was not everyone's cup of tea, but let's not act like Vacation Fun has much of a concept and is not leaving guests confused on why they just spent ten minutes at one of the most expensive theme parks on the planet to watch an animated short with little effects and humor that mostly falls flat for the young and old.

Stitch's Great Escape was the far worst binaural centric show because it did not know what it wanted to be and used the bones of the greatest binaural audio-centric multi media show ever.

Sounds Dangerous at least had that going for it. I loved The Great Ranaldi and all the jokes though.

And Post show had bits with Wayne Allwine and Jimmy Macdonald. Far superior Disney ties than the current random short.

To me, that's the problem with Disney making these grand announcements about future projects over half a decade before then intend to complete them.

And if Disney didn't announce the line-up for the next 3-5 years, they'd be pilloried here "for doing nothing!" And it would be interpreted as Disney abandoning the parks and not caring. Or, interpreted as Disney "being in trouble."

This is a toxic fandom.

If inside out is magic eye, would it leak into the ride and figment would become an “emotion”? I really hope not, that’d be utter sh*t imo

If they did tie the IP together (doubtful), he’d probably just be an imaginary friend like Bing Bong

This is disingenuous. If Disney built at an adequate, consistent rate and announced 1 year in advance they would be announcing just as much as they currently do - minus the misleading announcements on which they never follow through. If announcing later means they announce less, it just demonstrates how many of their announcements are dishonest.

1 year worth of announcements cannot fill a 3 hour presentation at the Honda Center that fans will pay hundreds of dollars for tickets to. That’s what Disney wants. The pomp and circumstance that comes from having celebrities come out and announce exciting new projects every two years. And honestly, it’s what lots of fans want from Disney.

And then the projects don't get built. And Disney knows a lot of them likely won't get built. And that's DISNEY'S fault, not the fans. The fans are not FORCING Disney to announce attractions 4 years in advance, or to announce attractions without even a firm commencement date, or to straight up lie for positive PR.

Except this is ignoring how Disney's been doing things:

Taking a decade (or more) off from updates/expansions (where they did do nothing) since the central Florida market was allegedly "mature" although not too mature for more DVC, then announcing things years in advance, only to quietly kill many projects and budget cut others.

Lets not forget the not too distance D23 where all they had to announce were blue sky projects because they literally had nothing in development to even talk about only to have nearly all of that end up being absolutely nothing when they announced almost all completely different things at the next D23 for the same places.

I'm not going to ding them for delays since obviously, COVID happened but it's not exactly like they started moving at lightning speeds with anything once the parks were open again.

All the while, they market as if future expansion (that history has taught us, may in some cases never even happen) is a reason for people to visit now... and somehow, that seems to actually work.

As for those of us here, are we ever who they market or announce to?

I mean, do they need to with us?

For the people who complain but still line up to give them money, what's the problem from management's perspective if people want to edit a few mean picks of Bob and Josh. I'm sure they're crying into their pillows stuffed with cash each night worrying about what we're all saying, here - you know?

I find it interesting (and quite mysterious) that we haven’t heard much of anything from insiders re: their thoughts on the scale and/or quality and/or immersion-level of the door coaster.

I don’t know whether to expect something that’ll blow our minds—with a detailed queue, multiple preshows, grand sets, and amazing effects—or something that’ll just be “fun” a la Tron.

Based on the model they presented, I’m begrudgingly guessing it’s closer to the latter (even though they have decades of expectations to live up to… or fall short of). I hope I’m mistaken, of course.

My suggestion is going in with the lowest possible expectations.

At worst, you'll get what you expected and at best, you'll be shocked and delighted.

IMHO, giving in to any of their hype and expecting this to be amazing is setting yourself up for disappointment.
