'Monsters, Inc.' Roller Coaster Coming to Walt Disney World

[rodkenrich]

Recently, the Imagineers have announced a Monsters, Inc. roller coaster (http://disneyetc.blogspot.com/2008/07/monsters-inc-roller-coaster-coming-to.html) set to open in Fall of 2011.

I don't think this is official yet, still just a rumor.

Might seen an official announcement at the Disney press event in early Oct.

Too many of these in parks already, to me they are all pretty much the same.
I'd like to see something more creative like Soarin' or Test Track.

From what I read about it the coaster is going to be a family-friendly attraction & will be housed inside of Soundstage One.


I think a coaster like the one below but in a darkened room with a forced perspective and sceans in blacklight (Think Peter Pan ) might be a trill ride for little ones and a fun adventure for adults alike.

This is a coaster from Carowinds and I think the Monsters Inc, coaster may be a lot like this one (without the water of course!) & about the same size.

Looks like fun!

We've had a couple of threads about this already. Monsters Inc. is a movie I would like to see another ride or two made out of.
