"
Pixar Place" ideas:
1. Monsters, Inc. door coaster could include some thrilling parts but also some less-thrilling aspects riding through the factory (so as to make it more family-friendly if necessary). Everybody on planet Earth who saw this movie immediately wanted some version of this ride, and as noted above, it has actually been designed. Cannot understand why they seem so intent on not delivering, especially now that they seem committed to doing something for this park?
2. Incredibles - would love a stand-up coaster with ride vehicles based on Dash (running), Frozone (surfing on ice) and Syndrome (rocket shoes). Absent this, Id gladly accept Skier Petes idea of a Spiderman type ride based on the Incredibles. I might even prefer it. In short, give me some Incredibles.
3. Ratatouille -- boat ride replicating the scenes early in the movie, from the old ladys house to Paris; the ride exit would emerge within close proximity to Gusteaus (formerly known as Mama Melrose's and in new Pixar area location...and now starring the animatronic Remy, fresh out of retirement from Chefs de France in Epcot). There is no water-based ride at DHS right now, so this would provide a fresh take on a traditional guest favorite ride. Could be anything thrill-wise from POTC to Splash Mountain to Kali or some combination of all.
4. Change the sign on the HISTK playground to A Bugs Life. Done virtually overnight at a ridiculously low cost.
5. Pizza Planet keep but move and improve/expand offerings (including breakfast pizza
seems to be a severe lack of breakfast offerings at DHS).
6. Mr. Potatos Head (or some other name if that sounds too barbaric
Create-a-Potato
Maters Taters
whatever) potato-based quick service dining, allowing more breakfast options (e.g., hash browns served multiple ways), along with other all-day options (fries, tots, baked potato bar, etc.)
I know it seems like a random concept, but I love Mr. Potato Head
and carbs!
7. Fentons Creamery ice cream shop from Up. Its a real place, so might be some issues there, but in any event, an ice cream shop with Pixar-inspired flavors would be a hit. Dont care if Diagon Alley also has an ice cream shop.
8. Last but not least, a nice, big Pixar store. Who am I to deny Disney their merchandising dollars to help pay for all this?
Yes, I have spent way too much time thinking about this...
