News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[GoofGoof]

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.

There is a small alley between Star Tours show building and Pizza Rizzo/Store but it’s probably used for deliveries and backstage stuff. I can’t see them using it for guests. I think we are stuck with the dead end. I’m ok with that in this case but the park does have too many dead ends and bad flow. They really need to address that with AC redo and hopefully connect back to RockNMuppets Coaster area.

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.

It’s possible. There is a backstage pathway next to Woody’s BBQ restaurant that leads behind Launch Bay building. Could be made as a path into whatever new land is created. I’d love a water ride at DHS but probably not Indy. Water rides are high capacity with limited or no height restrictions and high capacity. Checks the boxes. No more coasters for a while. Gotta get back to better story telling and epic dark rides.

No more coasters and pause on animated based attractions for DHS would be my simple basic edicts.

We have multiple animated world lands in one park and the Park's centerpiece E Ticket is based in entering an animated world.

If Pixar movies Elio and Hoppers are hits, those could warrant attractions in Epcot then.

Keeping the area a dead-end is more proof this is a hasty, relatively cheap overlay with no planning for the parks larger needs.

There is already a Star Wars Land there. There is a ban on most Marvel stuff with GoTG being the obvious exception but already built at EPCOT. Indy is going to DAK. TWDC seems very opposed to building non-IP based rides anymore. As a result of all of this I don’t see them pausing animated based attractions at DHS.

I would not be opposed to pausing the concept of entire lands based on one franchise (animated or not). I’d love to see them turn either AC or Echo Lake or both into more generic lands like Fantasy Land for DHS or a Super Hero land. I don’t need to be “transported to the world of the incredibles“ but an E ticket based on them would be cool. They could work in some of the lesser Marvel characters not covered under the Universal contract as well. I don’t want a Dr Strange land but a ride based on the franchise existing in a gereric Super hero land I would be good with. You could layer in flat rides, play areas, meet and greets, gift shops, stage shows or entertainment and unique dining as well. Maybe even the return of a parade.

I know that’s not how they build anymore but new lands based on a single IP with 1 main ride don’t move the needle on capacity the way a land with multiple smaller rides can.

It’s certainly a sign they have no intention of redoing echo lake area any time soon. It would be hard to address the dead end without either removing Star Tours or expanding behind it to connect back up around Backlot Express area.

They are going to have to make a variety of quality cinema if that is the case.

It is funny how they can't produce non Marvel/Star Wars live action hits anymore.
