The Park Formerly Known as Disney's Hollywood Studios? Yep ...

[Mike S]

Honestly I can't help but feel like an all-indoor version of RSR would be impossible to pull off without feeling neutered and downgraded. The ride really relies on its fantastic outside scenery and rockwork for a sense of scale and grandeur. Something I just cannot see able to properly scale down to purely internal show scenes.

Which is why I think if Disney really wanted a Pixar E Ticket they should just start fresh and go with The Incredibles or Monsters Inc. A neutered RSR would be a waste.

I think Tower of Terror acts as the unofficial icon. You can see it from certain areas outside of the park and its one of the headliner attractions. The hat may have been on maps, but ToT is always what I thought of for DHS.

The entire front part of the park leads the way thematically to Tower of Terror. While it's not centrally located, it would make an excellent park icon.

The point of RSR wasn't to be a massively thrilling ride, it's even slower than Test track. It's thrill level caters particularly towards a somewhat younger audience and really shouldn't be turned into a more thrilling ride at the expense of its scenery. The experience relies on the scenery and show elements, much of what made the ride so good would be lost in an all-indoors attraction. Without the outside bits it would just come off as neutered and inferior to its original DCA counterpart.

I thought the point of RSR was to drum up excitement for the renovated California Adventure and move "Cars" merch.

Being indoors allows for the possibility of increased thrills without increased speed.

It also allows the possibility (or ensures it) for decreased scenery and overall detail. Does anyone really want this ride to be more thrilling than DCA's already is? I personally don't think it needs it at all, and I don't want it if it means a downgrade in the show quality.

It's mostly a lot rockwork, not really details that one can stop and examine.

I doubt many fans of the ride would think it was nearly as good if it lost most or all of that rockwork.

The best clones are those that do not seek to offer an entirely duplicate experience. Let them be similar but different.

TDO taking good imagineering ideas and making them neutered and downgraded? Never have I heard such an absurd suggestion!

I don't disagree with that general sentiment by any means. But this is not an example of a ride that will be easy to "clone" while removed outside bits and rockwork, and not come across as a massive downgrade and neutered experience.

Changes coming:
- TSM expanded
- TSPlayland clone from Paris
- Clone of CarsLand from California (at least RSR)
- New Fantasmic
- New coaster (Crush's Coaster clone from Paris or a new Monsters based coaster)
- New shows of Tangled and Frozen coming to replace BaTB and VoTLM
- Star Wars Land

Last I heard BaTB is staying thanks to the 2016 film Beast I can't remember who said that but it was an insider on here. No one on here or anywhere else has mentioned a new fantasmic coming, especially since if that was going to happen you bet it would be in time for disneyland's 60th and it would premiere over there first. Since that isn't in the cards I say bogus, same for crush coaster and inc coaster. Everything else seems to be a maybe based off other insiders.

There is one reason it will never match or exceed DL and that is the miserly attitudes at TDO

Twenty years ago, it was significantly better than DL. Times could change again.

 

[Jose]

When I say a new Fantasmic is an "updated" Fantasmic (replacement of Pocahontas and introduction of recent movies. also, new show effects)

 

[Matt_Black]

Aw, I like the Pocahontas part.
