New Coaster Coming To Disney's Hollywood Studios?

Jim Hill has a story up this morning about how the success of Toy Story Mania at Disney World has loosened the purse strings for a brand-new Pixar-themed roller coaster that would open in 2011:

"So what's it going to be?," you ask. That long-rumored clone of Walt Disney Studios' "Crush's Coaster" ? Or -- better yet -- some "Ratatouille" -themed restaurant that will feature regular appearances by that new Living Character Initiative version of Remy ?

Nope. Disney's Hollywood Studios is actually getting the attraction that theme park enthusiasts have been itching for ever since "Monsters, Inc." opened back in November of 2001. DHS will be soon be home to an inverted coaster that recreates the Door Hangar sequence from that Pete Docter film.

Oh, man, now that would be worth a five-hour plane ride for opening day...
