There are many more rides and attractions to spread out the crowd in CA, including a whole section for kids. At DHS, TSMM is the only ride that is family friendly ride except for TGMR. Off the top of my head, which I'm sure I'm forgetting a few, CA has 20 or so rides, shows and attractions compared to around 12 at DHS. I'm sure I am not thinking of something at each park. But there are many more choices through the day at CA, spreads the crowd.

I think I had read in other threads in this forum that the popular theory is a separate 3rd track that would be Fast Pass only. Or this new 3rd track would be stand by and the existing two would be Fast Pass. Or some combination. My guess based on this, and just imagining the layout of the two buildings, is that it's going to be a separate loading queue so that it increases the capacity. I think it was also theorized that the two waiting queue's would have a connecting door so that if one line was very short they could pull some from one line to another.

Soarin' having a third theater I would imagine would also improve things as you'd have a separate loading queue and the line would move faster.

Will adding third tracks / theaters improve lines as much as adding 10+ attractions to each park would? no. But it will help and at the very least allow more guests to experience each attraction each day. It may not be the best improvement to the parks but at least it is an improvement.

HS has 16 attractions, 4 if which are rides.

DCA has 34 attractions, 21 of which are rides.

Yeah...that's why.

Oh....was that your point? Lol

I don't deny that DHS is desperately short on attractions. I just think adding a third track at this point in time is a good idea. It may not be the fanboys dream use of that space, but taking into account Disney's unwillingness to spend money these days and the copious amounts of vacant space in DHS, throwing a third track in there is a heck of a lot better than the other option which is to do nothing.

Flat rides aren't my first or favorite choice but having some type of Bugs Land/Toy Story Playland is, IMO, 100% necessary at DHS. It adds things to do, it's not Princesslandia (meaning it appeals to entire families and not just the princess crowd) and again, it adds things to do. but on top of Toy Story Playland they ALSO need a Cars attraction, another Pixar attraction, as well as Star Wars Land with at LEAST two rides plus the restaurant(s) it would bring.

I'd also add to my post that Pixar really needs THREE rides (Cars, Monsters & ? ...) plus the Playland. But since they're doing the third track for TSMM, I'd imagine that "fills" the need for a third ride.

After riding it they could just clone the Monsters ride from DCA. It's not the Door Coaster but at least we would have a Pixar Place dark ride. Unless Disney WANTS to give us the Door Coaster that would be great too ;)

It was a nice little dark ride. I liked it for what it is. I'd prefer a cloned version to have better animatronics on par with Ride and Go Seek in Tokyo but hey, I'd take a direct clone too. They would benefit having a dark ride like this in the park.

They could have just built Monstropolis with the door coaster, dark ride and laugh floor ...

I also have no idea why they didn't find a way to have the rebranding of the park take place back when they added TSMM and lost the MGM name [2008-2010]. 2009 was also the park's 20th. All of that timing just seems to make sense for a re-brand. But. Nope. This company misses so many opportunities.

How hard could it be to move the laugh floor to HS and then build the Ride and go Seek or dark ride and then maybe a simulator door coaster? It'll probably cost less then the MyMagic+ system.

Totally agree. I generally like the sounds of what is being planned for DHS, but I feel like they are skimping on Pixar Place (unless there is planned stuff that is yet to leak) -- TSPL + Cars is nice (and I'm guessing we'll finally get the inevitable conversion of HISTK to a Bug's Life theme) but there should be another ride or two representing other Pixar properties. Even just a simple ride like a clone of the Monsters ride from DCA would be a good complementary addition.

I mean, why wouldn't you add at least one ride from Monsters Inc or Incredibles (new sequel coming, y'know), Ratatouille, Up, etc?

Yeah, don't understand why they wouldn't do it when the solution is so obvious... keep the same layout of SoA but change the facades to Monstropolis. Put Laugh Floor in the Premiere Theater (where Frozen currently is). Replace Mama Melrose with Harry Hausen's. Then just carve out some adjacent space (either the HISTK footprint or maybe part of LMA if that gets closed) to put in a dark ride. Not exactly complicated or expensive really and it keeps the SoA area available for the Osborne Lights.

What's the downside?
