    Disney just announced a slew of parks investment updates at D23.

    https://disneyparksblog.com/disney-experiences/d23-2024-news-announcements-roundup/

    Some of the ones I'm personally excited about:

    - Monsters, Inc. Land at DHS and the fabled "door coaster"
    - Two Cars attractions and a themed area in Frontierland
    - Villains Land at Magic Kingdom with two major attractions
    - Tropical Americas re-theme of DinoLand U.S.A.

    Which ones are you excited about? Are you skeptical of any of them?
    Which ones will go the way of Mary Poppins?

    I'm curious where in DHS they'll put the Monsters, Inc. coaster. What is
    it replacing?

    Yeah, I just saw that the Radiator Springs area is going to replace Tom
    Sawyer Island, which is kind of a bummer.

    I've heard rumors it could replace the Lightning McQueen show but that
    space does not look big enough for an entire land. Other say Animation Courtyard, which would be a shame to lose, but I think that's where the
    Sulley meet and greet is already, and although Launch Bay is cool, we
    already have Galaxy's Edge. There's the Galactic Starcruiser area, but
    the problem would be getting guests there. Maybe a train or a tunnel?
    Sounds impractical. Looking at the satellite, the Beauty and the Beast
    stage show occupies a good chunk of land, but would they dare replace that?

    There are rumors it will go into the Muppets area, but Disney hasn't
    said anything official.
