Since Monsters Inc is really just Superstar Limo with a different theme, I think its better to tear it down. And then if Monsters Inc needs representation in the park a new better attraction should be built.

I like Monsters. It's cute without being over the top, and the lines are short. Also Roz can be funny. I think out of all the Pixar films, Monster's certainly deserves a representation.

Never said it didn't deserve representation, just IF it needs representation that a new better attraction should be built. Like the rumored door coaster would have been cool.

True, I really don’t understand why they couldnt theme the first section of the track area and launch a bit more. That ugly protection rail could have easily been hidden with more rock formations along the length of the track.

The area before and under The bridge could have also been themed to a cave. They obviously thought about it at one point. They had concept art showing lots of rockwork in both sides of the bridge.

Is it not painfully obvious that there was no budget for this project yet?? This is what happens when you try to stretch refurb/maintenance $$$ into a re-theme.

I know man, I didn't try to insinuate that you said Monster's doesn't deserve representation and I hope I didn't come off that way.

For awhile I thought they almost went with that! Would've made sense. I could've seen them taking out Mike and Sulley to the Rescue and replacing it with that door coaster. Maybe it's still on the table but rumors have gone quiet.

I remember Micechat was pumping the door coaster rumors again maybe 4 or so years ago. Unfortunately it looks to be dead for now.

Just found it online. MiceAge update from April 2013 details plans for not only the door coaster; but also for a Tron Speeder coaster using the Peoplemover tracks (!!)

Yep, it shows how rumors, even from a reliable insider (ones MA used to use), are never certain. Lots of plans are so blue sky they never get out of the concept phase.

Four Neighborhoods Will Welcome Guests to Pixar Pier this Summer at Disney California Adventure Park
by Michael Ramirez, Editorial Content Director, Disneyland Resort
As we’ve previously mentioned, when Pixar Pier opens this summer in Disney California Adventurepark, guests will find four whimsical neighborhoods inspired by beloved Pixar stories. Here’s a bit more detail on what to expect!

Incredibles Park – Inspired by “The Incredibles,” Incredibles Park will be an inviting plaza featuring mid-century modern design aesthetics. Guests will enter through an archway where the iconic Incredibles logo will be seen overhead. Once inside, the new Incredicoaster will take you on a thrilling race alongside the Parr family. A combination of character figures, lighting, music and special effects will bring all the action to life! Upon exiting the attraction, the Jack-Jack Cookie Num Nums stand will tempt guests with freshly-baked treats.

Toy Story Boardwalk – Adjacent to Incredibles Park, Toy Story Boardwalk will be themed to “Toy Story.” Guests will be shrunk down to the size of a toy on the fan-favorite Toy Story Midway Mania! Jessie the yodeling cowgirl will invite you for a rootin’ tootin’ spin on Jessie’s Critter Carousel(opening in 2019). At Poultry Palace, big appetites and small fries alike can enjoy a fun meal inspired by Pixar’s short, “Toy Story Toon: Small Fry.” There will even be a fun-sized Zurg—perfect for photo ops! You can also stop by Señor Buzz Churros, where Buzz has switched into Spanish mode to offer this classic treat. ¡Delicioso!

Pixar Promenade – This charming seaside promenade inspired by classic turn-of-the-century California boardwalks will celebrate the heartwarming stories and beloved characters from all of Pixar’s films. The focal point of Pixar Promenade will be the Pixar Pal-A-Round. This reimagining of a guest favorite will still include the iconic face of Mickey Mouse on the Paradise Bay side of the wheel. But now, each of the 24 gondolas will feature different pairs of Pixar pals!

Pixar Promenade will also feature the Games of the Boardwalk, offering guests a chance to test their skills and win a prize. The four colorful game booths will include Heimlich’s Candy Corn Toss, Wall-E Space Race, La Luna Star Catcher and Bullseye Stallion Stampede. Also featured along the promenade will be a classic band-shell stage, ideal for musical entertainment acts and encounters with your favorite Pixar characters. Bing Bong’s Sweet Stuff will feature delightful confections, including saltwater taffy and rainbow cotton candy. For some savory bites, head over to Angry Dogs, where the dogs heat up as Anger from “Inside Out” burns with rage!

Inside Out Headquarters – Located on the western end of the pier, the lush and colorful area inspired by “Inside Out” will be known as Inside Out Headquarters. This playground for the emotions will feature a whimsical family-friendly attraction, scheduled to open at a later date.

So Pixar Promenade is a neighborhood themed to generic Pixar in a land also themed to generic Pixar but is surrounded by other neighborhoods themed to specific Pixar movies?

Scratching my head over the decision to include "Inside Out" but not Up, Finding Nemo / Dory, Monster's Inc, and or Ratatouille.

I mean come on.. Finding Nemo / Dory should be a given, ON A PIER.
