Monsters Inc. Rollercoaster?

[lockedoutlogic]

From the most recent Dis Newsletter:

"On the heels of rumors regarding possible Haunted Mansion and prince/princess themed rooms coming to Walt Disney World, an article in the Orlando Business Journal has added more rumors to the mill. According to the article, big changes may be on the way at both Disney World and Universal Studios in the next few years.

The report suggests Epcot's World Showcase may soon welcome a 12th country to its collection. Since this news still classifies as a rumor, there is no official word on what the new country would be, but one "Walt Disney World insider" suggests Spain is the current front runner.

Epcot's neighbor, Disney's Hollywood Studios has allegedly also received the "greenlight" to construct the long-discussed Monsters Inc. roller coaster. It has long been believed that the space vacated by the extinct "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire: Play It" attraction would be the location of this new coaster."

May still be rumors and nothing new really, but exciting to think about nonetheless!

i love those rumors...but without some reference to a reasonably credible source...there aren't even worth letting the sounds get past your outer ear...

these "rumors" seem like JHM...or the makers of Screamscape who always have "insider" information that never pans out....just a hunch

I know for certain that Jim Hill has inside sources in the company, and posts stuff on his site based off that information.

To me this article reaks of someone scrolling through message boards like this and pulling off rumors. The timeline for the Monster's Inc Coaster has been said before, so that shouldn't be a surprise.

I believe Jim when he says that the Monster's Inc Coaster is likely the next project announced. However, I also feel that there's a reason it's being held back. I don't think it's nearly the priority it was when the plans for it first leaked. DHS is doing pretty well right now in light of the recent additions (and the upcoming Star Tours 2.0). If the Monster's Inc Coaster doesn't happen, it doesn't men that Jim and others were wrong, it means that Disney realized that it wasn't as great a need as some other projects.

I posted earlier this morning on the Spain/monsters Inc ride, shouldn't Disney be making more pixar attractions. Like possibly a walle ride through space to the Axiom, or an Up dark ride? Please post your thoughts.

I do like this idea. The Pixar movies are wonderful & should be utilized. Many adults enjoy these movies than just kids. Another favorite of mine is Meet the Robinsons. I don't know how much can fit in DHS, but it would definitely make that park worth staying at more than half a day (like we do now).

Just because a rumor doesn't come true doesn't mean the person who provided it -- whether it's Jim Hill or Screamscape or anyone else -- has a bad source.

The very nature of rumor is the earliest word of concepts and proposals that haven't been announced publicly yet. Of course many of these will turn out to be different or never come to fruition... but it's still fun hearing about it. You just have to learn to take them with a grain of salt.
