DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Starship824]

Great! Then there is still hope Muppets will stay

That's all we can do at this point.

Well, we could go and chain ourselves to the building.

Have you seen how they demolish that thing during any given show? I wouldn't feel safe.

My thinking they are going to have to announce where Monsters are going someday and maybe they would sneak it into the Brazil D23.

My next guesses for days to sneak out the news saying Muppets will be destroyed thinking folks will be distracted are:
Any random Friday after 5PM Eastern time.
Thanksgiving day.
Christmas Eve, Christmas day.
New Years Eve, New Years day.

I am afraid with all this silence and with them throwing in muppets elsewhere so much lately (like photo ops, etc), it’s their way of trying to appease us before they pull the plug. I hope I’m wrong

I’m just wondering why are they using a ride system from Vekoma ? It does not look like it’s spinning why not choosing the same ride system of Arthur at Europa Park ? Suspended E Powered ! It’s literally made for dark ride scene, you can literally choose the speed troughout the layout, stop and start without a launch or a break and it got good capacity and reliability.

If Disney go for Vekoma again I will be disappointed.

I don’t think what Disney is trying to do is possible with the Mack ride system. Vekoma works with Disney a lot to make modifications to Vekoma’s ride systems to suit Disney’s needs.

That ride system is a serious headache.

Also, it’s pretty clear this isn’t a coaster with extensive dark ride elements. It’s a coaster in a box with a few screens.

It’s a very, very weird choice post Cosmic Rewind and Tron. Sort of plucking the old project the fandom desired in a very different WDW “menu”. Why WDW got two coasters and a pseudo terrain “coaster” out of D23 suggests decisions were made in a vacuum.

DHS needs water and no height and kinetic energy rides.

That said, in a vacuum I’m sure I’ll like the ride.

If Muppets end up on chopping block is Star Tours gone as well?

Someday. You could lump Star Tours and the Indy stunt show together for a decent sized land.

Never made sense to me why Muppets were not removed when SWL was built so you could have had SW stuff straight thru and changed Muppets with anything Sw related & placed Muppets elsewhere

I think it’s not anymore, this ride system has been master by Mack. Arthur at Europa Park barely have any down time but It might be thanks to operation.

WDW can’t even run correctly a Flume Ride from the 90s so I would understand the concern and reluctance.

Pretty clear in what way? Has more concept art come out and I missed it?

 

[Indy_UK]

While I think the theming of a Monsters Inc land will be great, I don't expect the ride to be more than a newer Pteranodon Flyers (at IoA) in a box

 

[G00fyDad]

No. I just think people are trying to manage their expectations based on Disney's track record.

There’s a reason they’ve only sold three. Universal was set to build multiple of them, including Hagrid’s, but they walked away with only the one in Beijing actually being built.

Art, ride system, model…

I too think it will literally just be a suspended coaster in a warehouse. That said, if they just literally cover all the walls of the warehouse in doors and have a mess of fake tracks with doors (at least one circuit moving) and perhaps some doors also hanging from the ceiling it is both incredibly low effort and yet will be good enough and different enough.

They have weird permission this time to make the warehouse look like an actual warehouse. Because the inner walls of the show building are meant to be seen. As opposed to trying to darken it to obscure nothing is really there.

The concept art probably summarizes the entire ride. Likely one nice pre-show. Load will likely be themed to the scare floor. One set of figures of our character with probably low fidelity. Lucky if we have a second and third (Randall). Which I'm weirdly ok with, they can both phone this one in and still make it actually pretty good.

Honestly, the queue is where I hope for some good AAs. Anything complex would be wasted on the ride itself.
