News Paradise Pier Becoming Pixar Pier

[Disney Irish]

...ever been to Fantasyland?

I think if they swapped out the gags in MM that are too similar to Mansion (particularly the Medusa Painting) and replace them with more exotic fantasy artifacts, the two attractions could co-exist. But, as others have pointed out, Disney won't build any non-IP attractions now, so it's a moot point anyway. Unless Disney Animation produces a hit movie based on Mystic Manor. Iger, think of all the plush Albert merchandise sales!!!

Yes, but you are talking about one attraction that was built in-place of the other because of the locale. That would be like having Pirates in DL and the Shanghai version in DCA. They are basically the same attraction.

I.P. Shmy-P. Potter ruined everything. Thanks, J.K.

When you really think about it, Inside Out is a horrible idea for park characters. Why would anyone want to hang out with free-floating anthropomorphic human emotions from a teenage girl's brain?

Free-floating anthropomorphic human emotions from a teenage boy's brain?

LOL.

So what? Are you saying DCA shouldn't have Ariel's because DCA has Snow White? Or DCA shouldn't have GRR because DL has Splash Mountain? Before GOTG, DCA had its "Haunted" themed ride in ToT. I don't see the problem.

They come from the same idea, but I think the "magical" house as opposed to the "haunted" house could still work. The truth is, of course, I just want to ride Mystic Manor and I'm never getting to Hong Kong!

It's just as well...they'd all just be updating their statuses on MyFace.

I'm surprised Disney hasn't sued itself over Inside Out's similarities to Cranium Command.

Mystic Manor IS the Haunted Mansion of HKDL. ToT while a "haunted" theme wasn't built in-place of Haunted Mansion.

Exactly. Haunted Mansion is creepy and ghosty. Mystic Manor is more whimisical and features a monkey. They can co-exist just fine.

Pete Doctor (dir. of IO) was an animator on CC.

And believe me...their similarity is a point of contention to me in ways I can't quite say publicly.

I realize that...but it's also its own thing. You already don't think people will care about the shoddiness of PP, but somehow they'll get upset about having two similarly stylized attractions in two separate parks??

That is awesome! (And now I see he also voiced Riley's Dad's Anger! "Prepare The Foot!" )

I never said anything about guests, sure guests will be just fine about it and never even really notice.

I'm talking about Disney. In my opinion, Disney will likely never do it because they are the same attraction, even though its "its own thing".

Which is stupid, because it would be insanely popular.
Also um, they're putting TRON right next to freaking Space Mountain, so I highly doubt Disney cares about that kind of stuff.

But I agree Disney won't do it, not for their similarities, but because its not an IP that Chapek can shclock.

This just popped up on my screen. For a moment I thought it was an ad for a new show at Magic Mountain.

What I really see them doing is to take that ride system, and add a new IP to it. Because until Battle Escape DLR doesn't really have a large scale LPS based attraction. So DCA will probably get one, if not Rat. then another IP.

If you haven't seen the show you really should. I haven't seen it in a couple year, its always updating, so need to get back.

I knew you would bring that up. But that is the only example of that. To me there is no similarity between Tron and SM other than both being a roller coaster.

Anyways its just my opinion. Tomorrow Disney could announce that Mystic Manor is coming to DCA, and I'd be fine with it.
