News Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[BrianLo]

I think Simpsons is actually pretty tame when you consider that they could bring in Family Guy or Alien.

Reminder that Alien used to be in MGM.

And in MK.

And in MK.

The alien in the Alien Encounter was not the xenomorph from the Alien franchise.

Animation Courtyard will be a good fit for the ‘Monsters Inc.’ area.
Opens up some opportunities, for now and the future.

Still a little tinge of sadness will be about me when they bulldoze those buildings.
Some real animation history happened there a few decades ago…

Lilo and Stitch. Brother Bear. What else am I forgetting?

Resurrecting Alien Encounter in DHS would be amazing...but would sadly never happen. It was a brilliant attraction and a great balance of scary thrill and fun... DHS should be the park that has the edgier attractions....

Mulan

Mulan for sure...

I have a difficult time seeing Disney using the Simpsons. “I’m Bart Simpson, who the h*** are you?” and Homer screaming and strangling him just doesn’t jive with their brand. The property no longer seems relevant and whatever they do Universal would have done it better. Please no!

Have you been around to observe some of the families visiting lately? I mean, hell, my family was like this in the '90's, and even the World Showcase double decker driver saw a need to pause and apologize for it. It's possibly one of the most relatable versions of a family visiting Disney there is.

I agree they aren't as relevant now as they once were, I disagree with not jiving with the brand. Not everything they do has to for all ages.

There is nothing about the Simpsons that feels like it fits the Disney brand... Regardless if it is for all ages or not.

The alien in the Alien Encounter was not the xenomorph from the Alien franchise.

I just watched something that said it was originally a xenomoroh but they changed it before actually opening. source could be wrong though… it was Poseidon entertainments most recent video.

I believe it was originally intended to be a Xenomorph, but they decided against it since the film is rated R.

My God that show was pretty scary to begin with. That would have been AMAZING, although not for everyone.

It had its origins in a pitch to do an Alien attraction. It wasn’t what was developed and wasn’t part of the first version that soft opened.

This may be unlikely but I’d love to see them do a spiritual successor to Alien Encounter at DHS based on the recent success of Romulus. Just a simple, standalone attraction based on a cool sci-fi franchise.

This would bring back a taste of the 90s MGM feel that many of us have been missing

This would have been perfect for the Racing Academy space. Turn the back of Sunset into a more scary/adult area.

I don't want Simpsons in the park but wouldn't mind Moe's being in Disney Springs.

There's better Fox IPs I feel can fit the adventure/escapism of Disney Parks better I'd rather see in the parks before Simpsons such as Planet of the Apes (would be AMAZING for DAK if based off the reboot trilogy, would be AMAZING for Tomorrowland if based off of the originals), Avatar (already in) and the aforementioned Alien. I can also see Futurama in the parks before Simpsons since that has more of the 'whimsy' associated with Disney versus the mundane setting of The Simpsons.

The Fox acquisition wasn't made with parks in mind, but I wouldn't mind if they added some of the more tame/iconic stuff to DHS/other parks where it fits.

 

[MisterPenguin]

Simpsons is too adult for a family theme park. That's why Uni doesn't let children into Springfield let alone let the ride the Simpsons ride.

In the promotional material and early concepts it was toyed with. The shilouette in the early ads was a xenomorph.
