Disneyland opens new ride “Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!”
Disneyland
Resort opened an all-new attraction "Monsters, Inc. Mike & Sulley to
the Rescue!" The new attraction, inspired by Walt Disney Pictures
presentation of a Pixar Animation Studios film, Monsters, Inc., is
located in the Hollywood Pictures Backlot section of Disney's California
Adventure park at the Disneyland Resort.
The
popular film, Monsters, Inc., has now been transformed into a
fun-filled attraction where guests climb aboard waiting taxis and hit the
streets of Monstropolis to follow the film's stars Mike and
Sulley on their mission of safely returning "Boo" to her bedroom. As
guests witness the chaos of a child-on-the loose in Monstropolis they
encounter the supersneaky Randall Boggs, the yellow-suited agents of the
CDA (Child Detection Agency) and other characters from the movie
Monsters Inc. Guests will even get to see the seemingly endless
Monsters, Inc. door vault and receive a unique, personalized farewell from
the slug-like, ever watchful factory dispatcher Roz!
"Monsters,
Inc. Mike & Sulley to the Rescue!" has been created in the tradition
of the classic Fantasyland-style "dark rides" by Walt Disney Imagineering,
the creative force behind Walt Disney Parks and Resorts that imagines,
designs and builds all Disney theme parks, resorts and attractions
worldwide. The attraction features over 40 characters in 16 distinct
scenes from the movie Monsters, Inc., plus incorporates the unique
use of both black-light and white-light illuminated sets. Technical
highlights of the attraction include personalized farewell remarks to
passing guests from Roz and a multi-hued Randall Boggs who changes colors
as little Boo "bonks" him on his head in the attraction's
finale.
Staying true to the film, the
ride features newly recorded performances by many of the film's original
voice talents including Billy Crystal and John Goodman. Additionally, the
musical soundtrack for the attraction is derived from the Academy Award(R)
nominated "Monsters, Inc." film score by noted Oscar(R) winner Randy
Newman.
