[Rumor] Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

[tofubeast]

Not sure if I am allowed to post a link to another Disney related forum web site, but over there, (while acknowledging its rumor status), they say multiple sources (not cited) are stating that Disney will officially announce this week that they are bringing Cars Land to DHS. LMA and the BackLot Tour would be removed to allow an expansion of Pixar Place to include the new land.

I know this has been mentioned before as a rumor. I also saw on the home page of MC that the big announcement of "What's Next" was cancelled (renamed) on 12/7.

I guess we will learn more soon. Personally, I would love something unique and from a different franchise (SW!) or another element of Pixar.

Meh. Another WDW wasted opportunity if you ask me.

Oh for crap sakes. "Hey everybody! Let's purchase the biggest movie franchise in history and take full advantage of it in the parks and everything! What do you say, WDW?"
"We uh.. we fear change. And we fear risk. Carsland was a hit on the other side of the country. We just want that. OH! BUT we don't want to pay as much for it. So, you know... we're going to cut budgets and corners."

Also, can't we just let California Adventure have what it deserves and keep it special to that park that struggled along in Disneyland's shadow for a decade?

I... I don't know. I understand bringing cars in from a "we wanna have more money than Solomon" standpoint, but this seems rediculous. Why not do something different, like pizza boy said, take a risk. Hell, it could be the right one...
The studios doesn't need a carsland, they need a LucasFilms studio and a muppets studio. They need to rename sci-if diner the American Grafitti Sci-Fi diner.
Also on the subject of beating dead horses: Save EPCOT.

Bummer. I was really hoping they were going the Star Wars route, buying Lucasfilm and whatnot. Genuinely disappointed.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

wow.... i could see maybe bringing A ride over since it is pixar place but the whole carsland....what a waste. this is brutal news. they will now officially have the biggest irony in disney history, a pixar land beside a land which is based on a pixar movie, what a fail.

I think the decision was much higher than that. Personally, I feel like it's much better than what's there already.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

Seriously. What's the point? If they based it off of Cars2 and made a cars world, that'd be cool, but a carbon copy isn't. And a half *** carbon copy doubly so.

Yes, it's better than what's there, but so are a lot of things. It doesn't mean they should settle with what's safe.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

I definitely think they should take a risk and do something new. I could understand a ride in the "Pixar area" as other people suggest, but not a whole land. I do not know what kind of rides Cars Land has, but honestly, I can think of other Pixar films they could make into a whole land off of if they had to go that route.

Cars isn't one of my personal favorites and although that is subjective and everyone may have different opinions, but I can honestly think of more, different, and creative ideas for other Pixar films other than Cars.

Here's some youtube videos to help:

Disney bought Harry potter? That must be weird for Universal.

As for the rest of the quote though, Carsland isn't probably isn't meant to stay a DCA exclusive, since there are plans to bring it to other Disney Parks that are being kept under wraps (the only one we know about so far is Tokyo) and by the time they open Carsland in DHS (in around 2018), DCA will have more things to offer than just Carsland as its star attraction, possibly even something better than Carsland or RSR (who can judge until it happens). There is also a contract for Carsland at DCA stating that it can't be brought into another Disney Park for the next 5 year (for DCA's benefit)

To all those who are saddened by there no LucasFilm/Star Wars Studios or Muppets Studio at this announcement, those area are underdevelopment for the DHS expansion, which is also being kept under wraps for now.

I think we should wait until we hear it's officially a real thing before we start treating it like a hard fact that we all complain about.

Completely Agree. The same attitude should go towards Avatar Land, just wait for the details before you get up in arms about it.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

Right Ear is mucking with the time continuum and quoting posts ahead of him! That's amazing!
But yeah, I have no problem with Carsland going overseas, but when my home park is Disneyland and the new draw on the East coast is something I've been on already, I have no incentive to go over there. Also, this post sounds really selfish, but I'm sure I'm not the only west coaster that feels this way.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

I'm personally for the idea. I know a ton of people that are excited about it because they don't travel very much to California. I doubt the average guests will really care.

I can tell you that this is definitely financially good since the designs, planning and blueprints are already done. I just wonder if they are going to add RSR.

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

Believe it or not, I believe they've already done that lol

Re: Carsland at DHS -rumor of announcement this week

I hope and pray that this is false. DHS needs more cohesion, not more mess.

I'd rather them spend the money they'd spend on Cars Land making smaller adjustments around the park to help strengthen it's identity... Redress the Backlot Express as the Mos Eisley Cantina, get rid of the hat, hand over Mama Melrose's to the Swedish Chef, etc. Plopping down Cars Land is just going to, thematically, make things even worse than they already are.
