WOW, this looks really impressive. Although I do wish that our resort get unique rides only, if we should copy something, this could be interesting at least if you look at the building themening.

DCA shouldve waited and made a monsters inc. attraction like this than there rushed version !

I love this, it looks so good. I'll admit, I wasn't quite sure about this ride concept at first, but it looks absolutely amazing. We'd be lucky to see something like this in WDS, that'd be great.

It just seems like you're stepping into the movie, don't you think... like a filmset. Lets bring Monsters Inc Ride and Go Seek to Toon Studio and forget about Toy Story Midway Mania instead.  :wink:

I'd be lying if I said that I didn't think that this ride looks brilliant :mrgreen:

I don't think your the only one Butlin Boy... It looks really really good...

I dare say it would form a nice addition to the studios (Toon Studio) at Paris... But I don't think Paris would receive it anyhow!

Well the Monsters Inc attration in DCA is a lot of fun, certainly one of the better kiddie dark rides out there. This version looks even better. And people wonder why I get grumpy at the idea of the Toystoryland (especially with all the mistakes of toonstudios)

I'll second this - it seems really good and I have to admit that I we were to choose between this or Toy Story Midway Mania, I would want this for sure!  /

I love it. Just wonderful. The videoscreen adverts outside, the brilliant area loop, the animatronics (especially Mike - the first time you see him and when he's being electrocuted - wow!) and especially... the humour! And this isn't the lame puns kind of humour WDI has been doing the last ten years but humour through design. The scene where Randall gets pulled through the compactor is hilarious! I can't remember ever laughing out loud at a dark ride...

And people wonder why I get grumpy at the idea of the Toystoryland (especially with all the mistakes of toonstudios)

You'd do better to ignore Toy Story Playland, (we get it, it's not your kind of thing), wait a while and compare this to Paris' Ratatouille dark ride instead. That'll be the real test.
