Predications for the New Year

Disney’s Hollywood Studios

In the spirit of the New Year, I’m here to offer predictions for 2024.  Note that as my crystal ball is out for repair that I’m turning to my slightly dusty Magic 8 Ball for my predictions.  Before I begin note that all predications are idle speculation which are based on the foundation that they could happen, not that they will happen.  

Marquee of Monsters, Inc ride at Tokyo Disneyland

The first predication for 2024 involves the replacement of the former Art of Disney Animation/Star Wars Launch Bay with a version of the Monsters Hide and Go Seek ride.  This ride is one of a kind and is located in Tokyo Disneyland’s Tomorrowland, which is an odd location, but land is limited in that park.  The ride is one where guests ride through the attraction while aiming what appear to be flashlights as they look for the child ‘Boo’.

Ride and Go Seek is a family friendly ride based on the characters from the Monsters Inc film series.

The reason why Magic 8 Ball makes the prediction is because the Disney Hollywood Studios needs more rides, it’s been announced that the Little Mermaid show is staying, the project cost is fixed (more or less) and the Monsters Ride and Go Seek would fit on the available site.

Site at Disney’s Hollywood Studios where Monsters Inc. could go.

The point is that sometimes rides, shows and attractions happen because of a set of small reasons, and not because of some grand vision.  

The same site with the addition of Monsters Inc. Ride and Go Seek.

Ride and Go Seek would fit the definition of a Disney ‘D’ ticket and activate an area in Disney’s Hollywood Studios that currently lacks content.  We shall see if the Magic 8 Ball is correct.
