5. Up balloon voyage
One of Pixar Place’s rides could give guests the opportunity to grab a balloon bouquet and go up, up and away! The Skyway ride that was formerly at Disneyland, Walt Disney World’s Magic Kingdom and Tokyo Disneyland could come to Hollywood Studios, with the gondolas resembling small houses with big bunches of colorful balloons overhead.
6. Adventures with WALL-E
WALL-E’s voyages through space and an abandoned Earth far into the future would be perfect for a dark ride. The ride’s slow-moving vehicles could follow the lovable robot as he meets EVE and helps to restore the planet.
7. Presto magic shop
Homages to Pixar’s short films could also be included in Pixar Place, and this magic shop based on the short film that played before WALL-E could fill the void that was left when the House of Magic closed in the Magic Kingdom. Just like the Magic Kingdom store, this shop could sell slight-of-hand tricks and, of course, plush versions of magician Presto DiGiotagione’s rabbit Alec Azam. And the short film/shop tie-ins don’t have to stop there. Imagine the possibilities for Tin Toy, Knick Knack and The Blue Umbrella.
8. Pizza Planet food truck
Avid Pixar fans know that this 1978 pickup truck, which was used to make deliveries in Toy Story, has since been seen in every single Pixar movie to date, with the exception of The Incredibles. And while Toy Story Pizza Planet is already a restaurant at Disney’s Hollywood Studios, this vehicle could tie into the food-truck craze by offering a more mobile place for guests to purchase lunch and dinner. It could even offer more than just the cheese-and-pepperoni standards of the restaurant and let guests sample a variety of interesting toppings by the slice. And the food truck could even feature the bumper sticker that’s on the vehicle in the Pixar movies, which reads: “How’s my driving? Ha ha ha ha ha!”
As you can see, the possibilities abound for Pixar Place. And in addition to these ideas, imagineers can get inspiration from rides at Disney parks all over the world, including the Slinky Dog Zigzag Spin from Toy Story Playland, and Ratatouille: The Adventure dark ride and Crush’s Coaster at Disneyland Paris. Do you have any other ideas for Pixar Place attractions that you’d love to see at Walt Disney World? Let us know below!
