News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

They chose a very interesting year to give Frank Oz the Disney Legend title.

At D23 he was asked what he thought of Disney's use of the Muppets and he was all positive about it suddenly.

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.

Cars will not be open until 2029-2030.

Plenty of time for that to be altered quite a bit.

Indy and Zootopia are the only definites. Encanto ride is going to happen scale may dissapoint. Monsters Inc Coaster is the only solid after.
Monsters as a land will likely not feature as much as people will think.

So many grounds have broken to false promises before.

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...

I mean, I'd agree in my eyes (and most everyone), but fact is he was given that title by Disney.

Slinky is awesome. A top 5 WDW ride for many. Top 2 for my family.

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.”

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 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

 

[Disney Analyst]

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.

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

 

[Charlie The Chatbox Ghost]

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
