Monsters, Inc. DHS Coaster coming soon?

[Figment632]

Yup, here is a comparison.

Original TSMM vehicle concept:

Current MI R&GS:

They look similar just not exact because there is no back to back.

 

[marni1971]

Thats what he said :shrug:

Almost; swap a H for an R

 

[EPCOT Explorer]

This is not true. Aside from running on a dark ride style bus bar system, the vehicles and carriages and everything else is completely different. They were originally planned to be the same, but they quickly threw it out the window for a completely different kind of vehicle.

Also, Both Midway Manias cost roughly the same, $50 Million each I believe. Ours was not cheaper, most of our budget went on placemaking and details whereas DCA's is more sparse because of the ground-up nature of the facility. They both came out even really.

I'm thinking conceptually, but you might be right.

Very cool.

Studio One project?

... like WDS Studio One?

And when you compared the Carsland DHS might get to our PotC do you mean we will get a smaller version of Carsland? :/

Studio One is the building next to TSMM.

I hope not. If that's the case I'd rather not get it.

Okay, cool. That makes much more sense :lol:

Me too. I really need to see what the real Pirates is like, I hear I'm missing out on an extra 5-10 minutes.

The ride in DLP is rather splendid.

 

[misterID]

Yeah, I think the DLP pirates is the best. And like DL has 2 drops.

Wasn't the world's version going to be expanded at one point where it went outside and there was a (I think) backwards version that was supposed to be scarier?

 

[SirGoofy]

The scarier version was nothing more than rumor, I think.

But the Jack Sparrow refurb did have an outdoor scene originally, but guess what happened?

Yup, budget cuts.:hammer:

Nope....There was concept art, and it was actively considered.


Lee has more info, I believe.

I will see it for the first time in January but from what I have read the Imagineers corrected most of the problems with this version.

Yep.
The scary version where all the pirates looked like creepy skeletons?
Here's some art:

Oh......wait.....wrong version.....

More like this:

 

[SirGoofy]

Ah that's right.

That was only going to be Disneyland, right?

 

[marni1971]

Ah that's right.

Sadly no.

Creepy.

Sadly no.

Eh, a small part of me is happy that our Pirates remained mostly the same.

 

[SirGoofy]

Sadly no.

What a surprised. I bet we didn't want to chip in for the cost, which is why it got axed.

Our Pirates out of any of them could use something cool, cuz right now it's nothing special.

Should've been WRE

 

[wdwfan94]

Speaking of Pirates does anyone know if they ever have or ever will consider lengthening the MK version to make it as long as the other ones, or if its even possible.

It's possible. The last refurb originally had another scene in it, but it was cut.

I doubt it would be possible to lengthen it to that of the others.

 

[_Scar]

Should've been WRE

Amen.

Excuse my noobish Disney lore knowledge, but is it safe to say Tony Baxter killed off any hope of WRE in MK by concepting BTMRR? From the Disney Mountains book it sure made him out to be the one that killed it. :shrug:
