Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[ToTBellHop]

I'd love a people-mover at AK! Actually, I would prefer to have an attraction more in line with the TTA. Just set it up to be in theme with AK.

How about a boat ride with modest theming around the Tree of Life?

As long as it has a continuous load system like TTA it would be great. I would like to see a TTA style system that took guests from the ToL to Asia to Africa and back to the ToL.

Avatarland facts? Sorry, thought you meant Toy Story Land.

Martin, don't be silly. This is a thread titled Toy Story Land, why wouldn't you automatically understand that it will be about every place except Toy Story Land. It's a discussion thread rule. If you notice the posts immediately ahead of mine you will see that everything is in line with everything other then Toy Story Land. Come on, Martin... rookie mistake.

Epcot opens in 2020? I'm glad I haven't been caught sneaking in to see all the progress followed by regress over the years.

Why yes, with the way people have been complaining about how slow Disney is at building things nowadays, would it really shock you if Disney was 35 years delayed in opening a park?

I thought that would just be the entrance to the alien ride?

I wonder if it might be a waiting area like Dumbo has.

DAK needs more for guests to do. This will not be enough, even if it is visually spectacular. After guests visit the first time and are done oohing and aaahing at the vines and light-up floors, the park will still have not nearly enough to entertain guests until Rivers of Light. At $1bn, there should be at least one more E-ticket, or, better yet, a half dozen B- and C-tickets, which the park sorely lacks. Rides like PeopleMover do a wonderful job of filling up your day at the MK. They could have at least put in that Lion King ride sitting on a shelf.

I am still wondering how they haven't acted on the Lion King in any way beyond the Festival show at AK. Seems like a no brainer for me.

Now, can anybody tell me if AAs are still onboard for the Slinky Coaster?

I mentioned this a few pages back. It was never confirmed to be AAs or not.

Jungle Cruise?

I believe they will be more "Animated Figures" than AA

Well it's already below me, but Jungle Cruise is one I can think of. There's a bunch of outside animatronics.

Jungle Cruise uses animated figures, not animatronics.

Do you have anything to back that info? I'm pretty sure the elephants are animatronics. Regardless you can have animatronics outside

Jungle Cruise opened before audio-animatronics were invented. They're all simple figures that operate on the same endless, mechanically driven loop.

Didn't Jungle Cruise open with the tiki room?

No, it opened in 1955.

Not saying Wikipedia is very credible, but this is what it says and I've never heard anyone say the jungle cruise isn't AAs.

It's wrong. Just watch the figures. They only do simple movements over and over again in consistent intervals.
