DHS Monster Inc Land Coming to Disney's Hollywood Studios

[lazyboy97o]

Interesting take. I guess it's like the runway looks on a fashion show. Impressive in some ways. But, who (besides Disney) would actually want or buy these things. They just aren't needed for most other installations and add time and complexity to the attraction. (Not saying that's a bad thing - especially for Disney. Rather, "unnecessary" for most of the industry.)

Vekoma has sold the various components to others. They’ve sold a flying coaster to Phantasialand and Cedar Point is set to open a tilt coaster this year. As for the rest of the industry, I think they’re still digging themselves out of their negative reputation.

who has an elevated coaster in Florida. What ride is it?

Cobra’s Curse at Busch Gardens Tampa.

Here's the portion of the new We Call It Imagineering episode focused on the Monsters, Inc. Door Coaster:

"First Boost zone" was an interesting line...

 

[lazyboy97o]

Great point, sort of… The scale is completely different…. It’s not a comparable in my opinion…

The statement was that a coaster in Florida had an elevator lift, not anything about its scale or scope. So this would be an example of putting up goal posts after the fact.

Ah - that makes sense. Yes - well aware of their recent projects and successes. I hadn't thought about this being another way of building their new reputation from the days of the SLCs...

Cobra's Curse at Busch Gardens uses an elevator lift. It's not as big or as long as this but it's still an elevator lift.

 

[Jrb1979]

Yeah, I’ve been on… it feels like a rickety mine shaft lift….the experience will be vastly different.

Sure it will be different but it's still an elevator lift. Technology wise it's not new and that's all I'm saying. Same with the coaster itself.

 

[Jrb1979]

For me, it looks like it’s vertically lifting you 100ft in the air. This room will be awesome!!! I’m betting this experience will be more unique than you give it credit for.

At the end of the day it’s not about individual parts but the sum of the ride experience. This will be a fantastic addition!

I agree theme wise its going to be good. Coaster wise I'm not expecting much in terms of thrill at all.

Totally agree. Disney ain’t building the next velocicoaster! . I’m sure some would love that though.

I would want that. Even give me FLY from Phantasialand for this coaster.

Slinky Dog Dash level has to be the thrill level goal I would think.

Perhaps for Villains?!?!

Perhaps for Villains?!?!

I would 100% be down. I don't know if it would happen, but i would be thrilled.

Do you know if the villains coaster is derived from the old “dragons tower” from beastly kingdom? Vibes i get from the inclusion of male face t in the concept art.

 

[EagleScout610]

I think this is the one project the more they announce, the more excited I get. Aside from losing Muppets, of course

I have lots of good vibes about this project, and think it will be incredible. And yknow what, if any project had to replace MV3D, im glad it’s this one. With the lifting out of station, spinning cars, and “Boost zone” talk from the reveal, while its very early, I have similar “throwing every ‘magic trick’ that we can in” vibes for this coaster that muppetvision has.

Worthy replacement.

Perhaps for Villains?!?!

Thrill and "scare" level for the Villains Land attractions will be really interesting. I wonder if they go pretty "extreme" (well at least for Disney) for the coaster since that will have a height requirement anyway, so to appease people look for that but then a bit tamer/more humor elements with the dark ride so at least part of it has more family friendly - but not forcing the entirety of the land to be for everyone in the family

I can't get there with this project. The more they show, the more it feels like Dragonflier at Dollywood. It's a family invert inside a warehouse

 

[Orange is the new Red]

I would want that. Even give me FLY from Phantasialand for this coast

Oooooooohhhhhhh!

 

[Jrb1979]

Oooooooohhhhhhh!

I'm all for an actual thrilling coaster at Disney.

 

[Streetway Again]

Oooooooohhhhhhh

F.L.Y. But zooming around maleficent would be INCREDIBLE.

 

[Casper Gutman]

The seats can turn. What are they turning to look at… screens?

With all the new promotional material Disney has dumped regarding the upcoming WDW changes, do we have anything at all about the “show” that is replacing Muppets and, on a reasonable timeline, should be open in late 2026 or very early 2027?
