Are you sure? To me it would make more sense to have the third track be fastpass + and the two regular tracks to be standby

Fastpass+ distribution (as well as legacy Fastpass distribution) is typically in the 65-70% range. Two tracks for Fastpass and one track for Standby makes sense.

A Buz Lightyear Flying Coaster would have been cool. For a thrill ride. To have one. For the more mature crowd.

edit: not trying to sound condescending.

last thing the park needs is thrill rides....the parks entire problem is lack of people eating rides. not headliners.

Actually a headliner can be a people eater they are not mutually exclusive.

In all fairness TSL won't fix that.

Good for you.. I was thinking of the flyers at Jurassic Park which is a huge people eater regardless of capacity.
Have one of those flying over Andy's room would be epic for all ages. When i say mature i mean, older than 5,6. Something a step above Magic Kindom.

Exactly.
A thrill ride doesn't have to be a headliner.
And a thrill ride doesn't have to be a towering coaster.
I meant the term coaster loosely.

the flyers have some of the worst capacity of any ride...given the chance again universal would have never built them. (coupled with age/height maximums)

This was never a what park shouldn't have or should have. . I guess I'm not getting my point across.
No longer does it matter though.

DHS really doesn't need another thrill rides than the Total DHS will be running in 2020-2021. DHS is a getting 1 or 2 more thrill rides in Star Wars Land. DHS already had 3 thrill rides. The other thing Toy Story Land already is going to get a coaster with it being a kids coaster. Disney's unannounced Phase 3 is unknown if it will have a thrill ride. Right now based what we know, DHS in 2021 amount of thrill rides will increase from 3 to 5-6.

The crowds at Toy Story Midway Mania isn't caused by not having enough thrill rides, but not having rides that aren't considered thrill rides of any form. The amount of people eater rides DHS has also isn't helping this at all.

I am mentioning this because that is a problem with DHS right now and the 2nd thing is DHS in the 2021 time frame isn't going to have the amount of shows it does now along with no One Man's Dream. Not having LMA and Indiana Jones Spectacular is going affect the amount of non thrill ride stuff for Guests along with the possibility of Voyage of the Mermaid being gone.

Green is Toy Story land, and Red is Star Wars Land in terms of the map.

While the absolute number of shows will fall, there is new entertainment being planned.

Agreed. A big failing of TSL IMHO is the lack of a large capacity dark ride -- would really fill out a significant need for the park.

I think they view Midway Mania as filling that role.

Wild guess but I would imagine this would be a part of phase 3.

But will CAPACITY increase, If not the existing problems are going to get worse.

They probably do. And it's very short sighted.
