Man, how old is Andy? Kid is building intricate roller coasters but still plays with toy blocks aimed at toddlers.

Doesn't look like demolition. Looks like they're just replacing the facade.

Why would they replace the facade? The building isn't used for anything.

It's coming down. They are just taking it apart piece by piece because of it's close proximity to other stuff.
It's removal as opposed to demolition.
The facade needs to be removed so the structure can be removed. Given where it is located it can't just be "demolished".

We're talking about a kid whose home movies are entirely focused on him being alone with a bunch of toys and appears to have no friends beyond kids that probably just showed up for birthday cake in the first movie.
Additionally, from what behind the scenes material seems to indicate, Andy is very much based on John Lasseter himself, a man who always took care of his toys (while all the other Pixar Story Brains were closer to Sid) and has spent the last ten years obsessively playing with Hot Wheels and turning them into movies.

My son is 7 and can put together the k'nex roller coasters but still plays with our wooden alphabet blocks as well, plus everything in between. He actually loves building with the wooden blocks that our library has. So, maybe Andy is my son's age? 6-8 years old?

The coaster doesn't look half bad. Not worth the likely 2 hours you're going to have to wait for it mind, but fun if you ever manage to get on it.

I'm also curious as to what the new FP+ options will be when this land opens. Will they just add slinky to tier one and saucers to the 2nd tier?

I'm interested to see where in the timeline of Toy Story this land takes place in. Technically, if we're in Andy's backyard and he built all of the attractions (toys), then its near after Toy Story 2, at the latest. Which means, any sign of characters from Toy Story 3 wouldn't work. I wonder if they'll pay any mind to that.
Considering the parks and attractions often have characters who've died in the movies... I don't think it matters much.
Who, besides me, gets riled when characters from "Looking Glass" appear in "Wonderland" movies and attractions?

I can totally see them putting both rides as Tier 1s like they did with Avatar until Star Wars Land is a bit closer to opening. Although the saucers ride will be less of a draw than Na'vi River Journey, so I dunno. I imagine that'll have to be what they do eventually though.
Maybe Beauty and the Beast will finally drop to a Tier 2.

Or Belle appearing in the parade with the Beast.

Haha Thanks! Sometimes it's the most obvious answer.
Another reason why I think this land is poorly planned. I'm almost certain there'll be references to Toy Story 3 in this land, yet we are still in Andy's backyard filled with his toys. Why is teenage Andy playing outside with his toys that he gave to Bonnie? I don't think anyone in TDO or WDI knows or cares why.
Some people will tell me to just enjoy it and stop getting held up over small details. But this is the same company who paid millions of dollars in order to remove Visa logos from credit card machines in the name of theme, which seems like a ridiculous over the top move compared to some of the laziness of Toy Story Land.

It's using the same technology that allows you to move from the prequel trilogy to the original trilogy instantly in Star Tours...
It's called a plot hole!
