What should they do with Animation Courtyard?

The site that must not be named has randomly brought up the Door Coaster again. I don't buy it.

I mean, I'd be fine with a Monsters Inc themed area, but I don't particularly buy it as a possibility.

If it were added, though, the door coaster isn't really the biggest thing needed. Something like Ride & Go Seek would be better. I guess doing both of those rides, plus a flat ride would be a fairly decent land for DHS.

I think it’s time to let door coaster go. As for ride and go seek, I’d be down, even if it was same ride system, diff ip. I think a lot of ips could work well with that system.

What do we think actually goes in AC? Zootopia? Villians? Door coaster? Something else?
A Rennaisance Films area, an Aladdin dark ride.

If Voyage of the Little Mermaid was moved here then the whole area in Magic Kingdom could become a full fledge Beauty and The Beast Land and so you could replace bringing in the Tokyo Attraction in that spot!

A version of Radiator Spring's Racers!

Lemmie play devils advocate here: move Moana boat ride to DHS, and expand it to a full land. Adds a family friendly boat ride to DHS, a park that needs it. A full land would 100% also add some flat rides, prob with one water based one. It’d also be a very shaded land in a very concrete park. Not the most exciting but could tick some boxes.

And if I’m being completely honest, and you’ll have to really hear me out on this one: I think after AC, echo lake should be expansion fodder, not grand avenue. Like I know primtime is good and frozen is fun, but echo just feels like a holdover from the mgm days that could use an update/replacement (and if I’m also being honest maybe they should make a greater divorce from the old mgm days sans muppetvision/star tours and sunset boulevard/tot). I feel like Indy going to DAK, and the stunt show being old and taking up a huge plot of land pushes it over the edge, and frozen could be moved. (Also I’m biased because I like the mupppets.) Maybe keep the lake part but expand with Indy and beyond with a new full land. But something should change there, because to me echo lake just feels kinda…weird. DHS in general needs to decide what it wants to be.

Hollywood Studios is a concrete jungle!! Why I leave for Epcot.

Retcon of a role perhaps? Jessica was a vamp, not a detective.
It’s just one scene! It has little effect on the ride! A bit lazy, but still not damaging! Maybe Jessica can get to the bottom of why goofy was even accused as a communist spy in who framed Roger Rabbit! (Let the ruling classes tremble, a-hyuck!)

That’s what I’m saying! It needs a very lush land to balance it out among other improvements. That’s why tbh I think Moana would honestly be a slam dunk for DHS in so many ways. No way it happens but just my thoughts. Maybe throw a splash battle and a spinner in there too?
It would be anything is possible with the way they are IP-ing every park. I mean does it even matter now that Studios Paris is getting Frozen. I like things that fit in, Toy Story Land always bothers me as a land because it doesn't seem to match the greatness of Cars Land and DHS deserves one land like Cars Land or Frozen. While I think Moana is perfect for Adventureland because it's close to the Polynesian, I thought it was necessary for Animal Kingdom. A Moana land for DHS would be best in it's own space in a back end spot.

You know what you just brought up something that I never thought about aside from Moana. They were so focused on making the center of Epcot as a park within a park thing but what I think was more important was that was done at Hollywood Studios. At least for some areas around echo lake, the hub, some greenery and with that would be then workable to have a Mickey's toon town area because of it. /

I wonder VOTM coming back is either temporary or a sign of things to come behind the area.

Considering how they can't use the Marvel rights at WDW, I wonder if this hypothetical new land will be a catch all area similar in concept to Avengers Campus. Maybe some themed to Disney Animation. You could even do a Multiverse like ride albeit with the Princesses as the main characters.

It’s a shame really that it never ended up happening. I honestly think a monsters Inc door suspended coaster would be the best ip to thrill ride connection since splash mountains connection of a log flume with being flung in the briar patch.

We lost all of the Toontown Fair/Mickey's Birthdayland or whatever it was called years ago, and there were some charming things back there... The character houses were very cute... Animation Courtyard would be perfect for a Toontown type area...and it does not have to be connected to Roger Rabbit... It is where MMRR should have been....along with a couple other rides. It seems like the renovation and reintroduction of VOTLM would put a wrench in the works of ever having a Toontown though...or any complete fleshed out "Land" in that area... Feels like it is always going to be a catch-all area...and it could be so much more.
