Wait Walt Disney Studios paris? the park with like 6 rides and a fountain?
I believe DHS has 6 rides and WDS has 9. Strange I know....
I'm still not saying it is better, but for semantics sake.

Cars is out. Star Wars is in. Avatar plods along.
Cars was my least favorite of the three, so I'm cool with that. I mean, I like Cars and like Cars Land in DCA, but didn't care much if it came to WDW.
But I have the same question as others -- what does this mean for the LMA/Backlot area? Or the SoA (and Osborne Lights)? Is there going to be any Pixar expansion at all? Perhaps different properties instead of just Cars?
Personally, I'd much prefer that they keep the proposed Cars dark ride and/or Mater's (with the requisite food/merch if desired) and have other Pixar properties added instead -- Monsters Inc, Wall-E, Incredibles, Up, etc. I think a great first step would be to build Star Wars and do the Monsters Door coaster in SS1 at the same time. Once the number of attractions is increased from that, then you work on LMA/Backlot Tour.
It's only been a couple of months... not near enough time for Disney to even put up a fence.Lets bump this thread and watch "insiders" try to explain all these supposed rumors that just...
Haven't panned out yet.
Or been announced.
Where is Carsland? Star Wars land? Anything at DHS?
Maybe something will happen by 2020, I still have hope the "insiders" know what they are talking about.

Jimmy Thick- So open ended, something is just bound to happen eventually, and then someone, somewhere will be "right".
Unless they have and it is a hidden fence that will provide a light correction should we go too far. . .It's only been a couple of months... not near enough time for Disney to even put up a fence.
DHS has higher quality rides though!1. Great movie Ride
2. Tower of Terror
3. Star Tours
4. R and Rc
5. Tour
6. Toy story
......... hmmmm go figure.
Well WDS kinda dumped a buncha rides in there
1. Cars
2. Aladdin
3. Tower
4. Rock
5. Crush
6. Tram
7. RC
8. Slinky
9. Parachute
hah go figure. Though without toystory land it'd be the same
YES THAT WAS NECESSARY!! before you ask lol.

That's why the park simply needs a bunch more rides. A new E-ticket of course would be appreciated, but 3-5 smaller rides that are family friendly would be more of a value to the park. That would help with capacity and keeping people in the park longer.

The rides at DHS are actually very good, they are just far too few. And most aren't very family friendly.

Agreed. It needs a family friendly dark tideZ however where they pull it from. Is a mystery to me.

Yeah, their Rock 'n' Roller Coaster does seem worse. I would take our cardboard cut-outs of Los Angeles/Hollywood over the crazy light show any day. But that's just me.I tend to agree since WDS is using lots of prefab looking flat rides. I always found the lack of great movie ride there takes a lot away from the feel dhs has. Their Rock N rollercoaster also seems less themed (and who's idea was it to make a plywood sign like that? they couldn't make the guitar?) and they used the "stationary" TOT
OMG, No, not a clone. Anything but a clone. I mean if you try and clone something you will disrupt all of nature and somehow prevent the forces from creating a reason to travel from coast to coast. Course, many people have many reasons why they can't travel from coast to coast, but that's their problem. I mean it's alright to clone something from WDW and build it in DL because, well, DL is the home planet and therefore is worthy of experiencing everything locally so that all the beautiful people from California don't have to mingle with the overweight, toothless, sister marrying, tobacco chewing, ETV riding Rubes from the east-coast. Eeeewwww! Whatever! But I digress!Honestly, they could make a pretty decent land "on the cheap" just by cloning from other parks:
1. Ratatouille ride from DLP (this is the E-ticket to anchor it) +/- restaurant
2. Mater's jamboree from DLR +/- merch or food
3a. Monsters Inc Door coaster that is slated for DLR (and originally planned for DHS)
3b. alternatively, they could do the Monsters in dark ride from TDL (preferably) or DLR (still fine)
4. One of the Bug's land rides from DLR -- maybe the Ladybug teacups one
I know people around here dislike clones, but these are some simple options that could easily be built on the existing footprint (I bet they could do all this just using Soundstage 1 and the Backlot Tour space and preserve LMA) and provide a much needed expansion of rides. And make it a true "Pixar Place" that celebrates multiple franchises.
I completely agree with you! My family has visited Disneyworld every year and sometimes twice a year. It seemed mundane and kinda boring after awhile. Why would we spend 50 minutes in line at Peter Pan or 60 minutes at Space Mountain when we've seen them over and over again. We spend more time at our resort pool, which ironically is what a vacation should be...relaxing).And oddly, that might be the best thing FOR Disney. If enough people like you - people who love Disney - start going elsewhere for family vacations, maybe Disney will finally wise up and start remembering who they are (to borrow a phrase from The Lion King): that they're part of a company with a legacy of innovation and top-drawer quality, and if those things aren't implemented with their new products, then consumers (and especially park guests) will go elsewhere. Disney isn't the only game in town anymore. It makes you wonder how long it'll take before that lesson really sinks in.
Muppetvision: Wish it would stay. Add another smaller attraction, retheme Mama Melrose's to Swedish Chef.The list of attractions slated to close as part of this overhaul should not surprise anyone. They are also going to be very cheap to demolish and in one case reuse for a new attraction. At the time I received a snapshot of this project, this list included:
Muppetvision
Backlot Tour
LMA
Indy Stunt Show
Honey Playground
There are also some dining locations that will cease to operate in their current form and will be reused in the new development. This list includes:
Backlot Express: new Cantina?
Sci Fi Dine In: Noooooooo!
Mama Melroses: Make it Swedish Chef retheme.
Agree again with you. Can we point to all the places were buildings lie empty? Sure. Why are they empty? They went down and nothing was there to take their place and then the closed building just became part of the landscape.That's the question/concern -- will something go in their place? We all can see the Wonders of Life Pavilion when we ae at Epcot. There's also the point of how long they would be down. The theater for BatB could be reset for a new show in weeks if they wanted to, but if it is down for months, the rationale would be to save money by not running a show.
Noo.... WDSPs version is a lot better in person.Yeah, their Rock 'n' Roller Coaster does seem worse. I would take our cardboard cut-outs of Los Angeles/Hollywood over the crazy light show any day. But that's just me.
