DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Purduevian]

The only small quibble is that I feel keeping the Monorail on there, when MK's is there just outside the gate, is a bit much. So it might be closer to a 25 minute edge.

I just went based on the "attractions and Experiences" list from the Disneyworld website. I took out what I consider streetmosphere or Character meetings. I don't think many people ride the WDW monorail as an attraction compared to DL.

The monorail is not listed as MK attraction, the Disneyland monorail is. That’s just reality.

Sure, but I just feel that one is a bit of a “spirit of the law” vs “letter of the law.” It’s the same thing, one is just not in the gate.

Makes little difference overall.

i agree it makes little difference overall - the time per attraction isn’t really how guests judge a park.

Plus there are many little details like the amount of opportunities to actually ride attractions like the railroad and main street vehicles which both have shortened hours at MK. And the desirability like Autopia vs. Speedway.

I’m pretty sure Disneyland Paris has less attractions than MK - and yet I feel it is a much better and more complete park.

As a West Coaster, many people treat the Monorail like the Peoplemover. A low wait attraction to get on and sit while looking at the park(s).

Besides that, they will be busy destroying and replacing ROA, destroying and replacing Muppets, destroying and replacing DinoLand USA etc.

While I agree about Muppets, I don't regarding ROA and Dinoland (I'm looking forward to the changes for both)

Main Street Vehicles are still a thing? I have not seen them operating on Main Street in years except for entertainment. You used to be able to take a double decker bus, a horse drawn trolley, a fire truck... but I think all of those are footnotes now...back from when it was an A ticket....
Then we lost the Swan Boats, The Skyway...and the Mike Fink Keelboats and Canoes...Followed by the 20k Submarines...
The next chapter will be the Rafts to Tom Sawyer's Island and the Riverboat. That is a lot of attraction transportation to completely lose in a theme park...

All of the vehicles still exist and make trips between Main Street and Castle Hub (with the exception of the Fire Truck). Main Street Vehicles are also used for Rainy Day parades

I am glad to hear that...I have not been there on the days they use them I guess....except to ferry the Main Street singers position... Have not seen the horses in years either.....

The horses still pull the trolley (they are done for the day by noon though)

Once Main Street gets crowded, it isn't safe for them to be out...because people are oblivious morons.

The vehicles aren't only used during the morning. I've seen them out in the afternoon too

I’ve seen them operate at night as well - at both DL and MK - pretty sure post Covid even, but maybe it was right before. I specifically remember riding the fire truck at MK at night and being in charge of turning the crank for the siren - it was so fun!

I'm confused: Is it the monorail or the Main Street vehicles that are coming to Monsters Inc. Land?

Hopefully both! Those monsters gotta get around somehow?

It's the Velocicoaster coming to Monsters inc land.

Great…..another ride with height restrictions

I hear the Galactic Star Cruiser is coming to Monster's Inc land but it will be Imaginnering offices.

This was the Candy Cane Inn actually.

I thought it was the coolest thing though, it’s honestly part of the reason why I booked that hotel was to get that view

Yep, I've stayed there too and also thought it was cool!

I was thinking back to what Imagineering did with the Ichabod Crane silhouette window addition in Liberty Square and how something similar could be used in Monstropolis to add more life to the themed building facades and monster apartments. Think it'd be a fun addition. Monsters shouting at one another, one from the building to another at street level. Or have one stepping out onto a balcony to water their porch plants. I just hope it feels lived in and active. Probably asking too much but I think it'd be a nice way to incorporate some kinetics and life into the land.

That would be really cool. If it was even mildly interactive even better. I love the talking head bit at Diagon Alley Universal. It’s just a little touch that adds to the experience.

That would be neat - and shouldn't be too hard as could just have a tentacle reach out or something ... doesn't need to be full on animatronics

That would be fun - could be something like the Ducktales game at EPCOT or the bounty hunter game in Galaxy's Edge

At a minimum utilize MB+ and have it vibrate when monsters are close or something

Things like this should be going on in Galaxy's Edge.

Yes! Love this idea. If nothing else, widows as tv screens that show monster life inside the apartments and store windows. An
Ice cream shop would be a fun addition over here too.

The creature stall has a window like that
