From what I have read on the WDW park forums, 20th Century properties are way down on the list of IP to be used in Disney Parks. If I was in Imagineering what i would do a Disney Animation Studios land proper with no Pixar. Demo the Philarmagic theatre and build a black box theater in the same vain of the DreamWorks theatre at USH where it could show short films based on WDAS films but maybe in a 40's-50's animation style through projection mapping. The E ticket which would replace Monsters Inc and expand into the back lot could be an interactive trackless ride where you team up with Mickey and fight all the major Disney villains.I'd like to see them expand into the bus lanes, and bring some new IP in here from the 20th Century Studios acquisition. Alien, Ice Age, Avatar, Die Hard, Night at the Museum, etc.
The park needs a high-capacity family coaster, and something between the current two coasters in terms of intensity. I would look to Studio Tour at Movie Park Germany for inspiration, myself.
Dude, I LOVE this idea for a dark ride! It could probably something within the realm of Mystic Manor and help balance out the trackless dark ride ratio between the parks.The Great Movie Ride for all the animated movies that aren't popular enough to get their own rides.
The pretense: the whole land gets converted into Walt Disney Animation Studios, complete with a small replica of the company entrance with the Sorcerer Hat. It's a great excuse to use the flex space concept and build something into the converted warehouse/industrial building aesthetic Imagineering has grown fond of.
Inexpicably instead of containing franchises that don't warrant their own rides, the ride will contain scenes from The Lion King, Mulan, Encanto, Frozen, and Moana. Many will rightfully be upset that Disney has loosely grafted these concepts together into an incoherent ride with scenes that don't fully honor the potential of each film. However everyone will undoubtedly agree that the seven animatronics are quite good, and the projection mapping, while excessive, improves significantly upon the instantaneous transformation effect first displayed in Mickey and Minnie's Runaway Railway.
Overall, the ride is a successful, albeit somewhat uninspired, high-tech recreation of those Main Street diaromas. Alongside Philharmagic, the Animation Showcase, and the theater, it also manages to loosely tie the area together under a single animation theme.
I agree the park desperately needs a high-capacity family coaster, but someone mentioned on the Avengers E-ticket thread that there’s a possibility that they may scrap the simulator concept and replace it with an Omni-coaster themed to the Avengers. They’re allegedly seeing how Cosmic Rewind fares with the masses, so there’s a possibility that void may be filled in Avengers Campus.I'd like to see them expand into the bus lanes, and bring some new IP in here from the 20th Century Studios acquisition. Alien, Ice Age, Avatar, Die Hard, Night at the Museum, etc.

Sorry for the double post here, but doing a little armchair Imagineering here:I'd like to see them expand into the bus lanes, and bring some new IP in here from the 20th Century Studios acquisition. Alien, Ice Age, Avatar, Die Hard, Night at the Museum, etc.

I would assume that if Encanto and Coco were to come to DLR they would go in the DL Forward expansion plot in the Simba lot, but HL could work as well assuming it doesn't go to Avatar or some other IP. If an Avatar land doesn't come to DLR, Coco would be a great opportunity to port the FLOP ride system to DLR.Had an idea here that I wanted to share on here. If they can ever resurrect Eastern Gateway, I think it would also be a great way to bring Coco and Encanto over here to DCA. It would add some family dark rides that the park could really use over here. Even better, they could also fit into a South American themed land which would tie into the Hispanic culture of California.....bringing back an (albeit broad) overall theme to DCA! Win-win!
But there's also something else that I think the park could really use: a family indoor coaster. You know what underutilized IP would fit in such an area? The Emperor's New Groove. There is a scene in the movie with a literal roller coaster in there. Now who wouldn't want an indoor coaster themed to Ezma's coaster to her lab?
Coco was inspired by the Mexican holiday Día de Muertos... México is in North America.Had an idea here that I wanted to share on here.

Interesting, a lot of rumors pointed heavily that Avatar would replace Hollywoodland. But I guess with the scale they want with Avatar, maybe they decided (if it goes into DCA), it would be a better fit for the Simba lot where it could be fleshed out more. I am very interested to see where they go with HL if Avatar is not going there.Look at the New Tomorrowland Rumored for DL thread, but I brought up a post where a user heard potential announcements for Disneyland. They listed Avatarland, new Tomorrowland, and a Hollywoodland replacement. Interesting Avatar and Hollywood were listed separately.
I think we could see Monstropolis go here. Just personal speculation.
Disney loves to clone lands across different parks so it's definitely in the realm of possibility. Plus after giving it some though I don't think Avatar would fit in the backlot section anyways.I wonder if the rumored land going to DHS Animation Courtyard will also replace Hollywoodland?
My bets on a version of Shanghai's Zootopia land coming to both DHS+DCA. It just makes too much sense, especially for DCA.I wonder if the rumored land going to DHS Animation Courtyard will also replace Hollywoodland?
