Man, I don’t care about the ride system as long as the story is good and the execution is great.

I'm mostly in the same boat, though I will admit I'd prefer a ride system we haven't really seen often or ever at WDW. Good example would be the TDS Peter Pan/DCA Avengers ride system, and WDW definitely isn't getting that Avengers ride, so might as well use that system for something else.

I think this is the only way we actually get to see villains that aren’t named Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Ursula, Captain Hook, Hades, Jafar, or Scar. I still expect the main attraction to heavily feature and emphasize these characters, but with 3D screens, we can work in a hell of a lot more in the background or in additional, momentary appearances (cheaper to animate a CGI character than build a bespoke animatronic).

This whole project will be a dud for me if there isn't a gigantic Chernabog animatronic somewhere.

The DHS show featured a ton more villains than I ever thought they'd acknowledge, and even the few bits of concept art for this ride we have already seen have had a few pleasant surprises like Yzma, so here's hoping they go crazy with the representation.

I know they're inconsistent on including him with other "Disney Villains", but my biggest hope for this project is for Oogie Boogie to get some love.

Yes, the new DHS show sure throws an army of Disney Villains in the pot. That show was way better than I expected, and
even better with repeat viewings. The new Villains land has so much potential. It could end up as WDW's best, or at least
in the discussion.....Potential, potential, potential.

I’ve gotta imagine they’ll have a dedicated meet and greet spot with a rotating cast of villains. That alone would be one of the most popular attractions in the resort.
