Guardians & Dr Strange as a Marvel land with an expansion pad for a potential Avengers ride (or a Marvel property that they can use in Orlando that eventually becomes popular) should've been what they did.
I had an imagineering thing from a while ago which was a Marvel Land to replace Indy/Star Tours at DHS... Star Tours became themed to Incredibles and had a little mini-Land around it, and then Cosmic Rewind and a Dr Strange Dark Ride would replace the area at Indy and the parking lot to make a superhero section of the park.
I think Disney just doesn’t want Marvel & Star Wars in the same park. They want to separate them so people feel like they have to visit multiple parks. That would also explain why WDSP isn’t getting Galaxy’s Edge anymore.
This re-raises the question: will it just be the Muppets Courtyard / Grand Park area that’s being rethemed, or will it also be the “Avenue” section of Grand Avenue (i.e., the street with Baseline at one end and the Galaxy’s Edge tunnel at the other)?
Pretty sure it is the former, based off the concept art. I see some "monster cars" in the street outside but that's it.
If you view Commissary Lane as a bit of an extension of the Hollywood “hub” it works. Especially if they eventually make a land of some kind in the Star Tours area. Grand Avenue becomes a little hub into 3 lands.
I don’t think this will reach as far as Sci-Fi. I think it will only impact everything behind the new Ice Cold Hydraulics stand.
Here's a closer image of discussed section outside of grand Ave park..
It’s interesting that the road leading to Galaxy’s Edge is a herringbone paver style in this art, when now it’s asphalt.Here's a closer image of discussed section outside of grand Ave park..
Even tho the concept shows more vehicles..I doubt they will be there to help with crowd control and the schmucks who decide to sit on top of them ruining the theming...
It sort of is. A few semi rushed plans can overlay transperencies on top of it.
Yeah, I think it’s just art as opposed to a working design of the land. This is an artist’s interpretation of what Monstropolis will look like and since it’s an urban setting they want to give the feeling of streets in a city. I don’t expect to see any cars in the actual land. I think they are just a placeholder to depict that these are “roads” as opposed to asphalt paths in a theme park. In reality they will be paths in a theme park and the cars would mostly get in the way.
Some cars will likely be there for sure as they are easy to do.
It will be adequate.
If only there was a way to fix the dead end that will still be an issue once Monstropolis opens. Like once you hit the big show building, turn left, and back you are around Star Tours.
Or you could build a land connecting from Toy Story to RnRc, maybe like an Indiana Jones: Rome Expedition. Imagineeringland did a really cool ride idea for Indiana Jones, a water/EMV dark ride hybrid called Lost city of the gods I think, maybe a ride like that because to give DHS a water ride, and maybe an LPS flat ride like Luigi's in DCA. Maybe even a motorcycle launch coaster like Hagrids.
If Pixar movies Elio and Hoppers are hits, those could warrant attractions in Epcot then.
