Villains Land at Magic Kingdom

Man, I don’t care about the ride system as long as the story is good and the execution is great.

I'm mostly in the same boat, though I will admit I'd prefer a ride system we haven't really seen often or ever at WDW. Good example would be the TDS Peter Pan/DCA Avengers ride system, and WDW definitely isn't getting that Avengers ride, so might as well use that system for something else.

I think this is the only way we actually get to see villains that aren’t named Maleficent, the Evil Queen, Ursula, Captain Hook, Hades, Jafar, or Scar. I still expect the main attraction to heavily feature and emphasize these characters, but with 3D screens, we can work in a hell of a lot more in the background or in additional, momentary appearances (cheaper to animate a CGI character than build a bespoke animatronic).

This whole project will be a dud for me if there isn't a gigantic Chernabog animatronic somewhere.

The DHS show featured a ton more villains than I ever thought they'd acknowledge, and even the few bits of concept art for this ride we have already seen have had a few pleasant surprises like Yzma, so here's hoping they go crazy with the representation.

I know they're inconsistent on including him with other "Disney Villains", but my biggest hope for this project is for Oogie Boogie to get some love.
