DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

which still surprises me... Sci Fi must only sell out because of the cars and the atmosphere... the menu there is bad

Well yeah, you can find nice restaurant food everywhere but that's the only place you can get that vibe.

Remy and Pirates restaurants in Paris are ok for food but it's the theming that books them up.

Personally I'm amazed anyone would be eager pay Disney prices for normal food in a normal setting, but I'm from Europe where those things are easy to find at reasonable prices so I'm more interested in unique settings and cakes shaped like mjolnir.

Slinky is weird in that it is generally themed poorly and all critiques about it are right, but it has rave reviews with any person you ever talk to.

I’ll talk to lawyers and other professionals about their Disney trip and they’ll glow about “the Slinky ride.”

Slinky benefits from the same thing Cosmic Rewind does. At the end of the day, it's a fun roller coaster, no matter how much or how little theming there is. Could the theming make it even better? Sure, but it's still a fun ride.

the food is horrible too....its the ambience your paying for. the rest a ripoff, I dont know how they keep getting away with that. I guess the ambience is just that good and fun, I love it too but the rest is really inexcusable.

redo/relocate sci fi to TL and put entrance between COP and Star Tours building with People Mover getting a peek inside

I think we'll be somewhere in the 2 minute territory.

I think that's pretty good for a coaster. I time Rockin' around 1:15 from launch to brakes.

 

[GhostHost1000]

Gad is nowhere close to a Disney Legend, unless you lower the bar to the floor and have little-to-no standard on what constitutes a "Disney Legend". Oh wait...

Gad is a legend like Tiana is a fully operational ride

2 min includes the pre-show, pre-pre-show and waiting for the first row seats. JK. I hope the ride is long.

If it's two minutes from the moment the first show scene with the train being pulled up begins, to brakes, I'd be satisfied.

I do think they gave Gad the legend status prematurely. Miley should have gotten it before him, for example.

Why are people still mentioing SciFi? It doesn't sound like the Monsters addition should affect anything on that side of Grand Ave. Harryhausens seems like it will be a replacement for Mama Melrose.

Frozen's been out for 11 years now and the franchise has made roughly $13.9 billion. Makes sense as to why the Frozen cast were honoured, but maybe they should have waited until after Frozen 4

I personally believe Gad is worthy of the Legend status, he's incredibly talented in musicals (even if you may find Olaf annoying, he can sing really well), and helped give Disney their biggest cash cow. Plus, he's a big parks and Muppets nerd. He's one of us more than he is some random celebrity. Perhaps they gave it to him too early, but I think he deserves it nonetheless.

All critiques about it are right? Obviously not.

I admittedly used pretty extreme language lol

 

[TrainsOfDisney]

The critiques are legitimate and accurate. Doesn’t mean it can’t be enjoyed.

I’m very critical of how Toy Story Land was built but I can’t see slinky go by and not smile!

Just FWIW, in addition to Olaf he was also LeFou in the live action BatB and was also in one of the Ice Age movies (Blue Sky but also owned by Disney)

and he was in the horrible Artemis Fowl movie

Sure, but they won’t be canceling this, Tropical Americas, or Cars. They announced them much closer to construction starting than has been the case in the 2010s. They are budgeted and commence construction imminently. We will see on Villains and things like Incrediblercoaster and Zootopia.

Is that where we try to follow Dash though Metroville to watch his HS band concert?

 

[Advisable Joseph]

Talked to Scott Gustin yesterday as we recorded another episode for my podcast. The new episode will go live likely Saturday morning.

But he did mention something that I haven't heard yet. He did hear that somebody in the know was kicking around ideas rerouting the entrance for Muppets and they would have to build back behind it. I'm paraphrasing here, but maybe it's something they are wrestling with.

So

But Scott admitted they don't know how "Disney" can do it, if there is even space to do it.

Is "they" in this senence the "they" at Disney above, or Scott and friends (other than you?!)?

The real problem I'm having, I think, is that I don't know why "Disney" is in quotes, and trying to figure that out is confusing me.

DSNY has a video about it now. He brought up the view from SWGE, which I didn’t think of before.
