Al parecer podría desaparecer la atracción de los Muppets y el edificio "Stage 17" para dar sitio a una coaster invertida sobre el tema de las puertas de la pelicula.
La fachada en 2D (fea más no poder, por cierto) de la atracción de Monstruos, Inc se cambiría por algo mucho más trabajado.
Todo esto podría estar listo en 2016
AS ONE DOOR CLOSES…
This extraordinary and long-term change in attendance and interest in DCA is
now forcing Team Disney Anaheim and Burbank to rethink their plans for Anaheim’s
second gate. There had always been a “Phase Two” plan for DCA’s makeover, but
then Imagineering is infamous for having second phase projects which never get
completed. The second phase for any theme park project usually consists of
additional ideas that didn’t get funded in the first phase, or any small pet
projects that key Imagineers may have cooked up during the Blue Sky phase. But
Team Disney Anaheim’s sharp pencil boys had assumed that after Cars Land opened
they would turn their attention back to Disneyland and green light one of the
two major expansion plans that we’ve told you about in the past; either the
expansion of Frontierland north of Big Thunder Mountain, or the expansion of
Tomorrowland on its eastern flanks.
Monsters Vs. Muppets?
But instead of working on Disneyland next, TDA is now seriously considering
an additional E Ticket thrill ride and new themed placemaking for DCA in the
next few years. Taking a concept originally cooked up a few years ago for Disney
Hollywood Studios in Florida, there’s now a very serious proposal to tear out
the MuppetVision and Stage 17 buildings in the back of DCA’s HollywoodLand area
and build a Monsters Inc. mini-land there. An all new roller coaster thrill ride
would be installed in that corner, themed to the cavernous Door Hangar scene in
the Monsters Inc. movie. The popular Monsters Inc. dark ride nearby would
remain, although the façade of that building would get a dramatic upgrade as
that entire area would be transformed into a fully realized Monstropolis
environment. The open space in front of these two Monster Inc. rides, the family
dark ride and the thrill ride Door Coaster, would remain to be used as the
location for DCA’s popular evening dance parties. The cheap “studio backlot”
theme of this area would be removed entirely, and the backside of the Hollywood
Blvd. facades would be built out and repurposed as new dining and merchandise
locations. The old Hollywood and Dine food court in the eastern corner would be
totally reworked as an indoor “flex space” to replace the loss of the Stage 17
building currently used for special events.
Will it be door number one or door number
two?
The thinking behind this sudden change in plans is not so much to keep up the
stunning momentum at DCA, but mainly to prevent overcrowding in the years ahead.
Although it would be possible for DCA and the entire Resort to coast on the Cars
Land success for the next half decade before the next major attraction project
got underway (which is exactly the type of business model they use for WDW), TDA
now realizes that what DCA will quickly need is additional ride capacity. The
attendance gains are so large that the mythical Phase Two that WDI always has
tucked away is now actually needed from a hard-nosed business standpoint. WDI
had shopped the Monsters Inc. “Door Coaster” to Team Disney Orlando over five
years ago, but got a cool reception from that executive team who is notoriously
unenthusiastic about building new rides. But turning the rather homely and bland
corner of DCA’s HollywoodLand area into a Monstropolis mini-land is now the goal
of many TDA and WDI executives.

The Door Coaster and Monstropolis project at DCA might be able to get underway
before the 60, for an opening in 2016 [...]
