DHS Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[SYRIK2000]

Jungle Cruise uses animated figures, not animatronics.

BTMRR has some outside AAs. The guy in the bath tub jumps to mind.

I highly doubt he is an animatronic. That would be a waste of money. Not every figure which has motion is an animatronic.

Agreed but they could do similar just not have a lot of motion but some.

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

They are classed as AAs. By definition they were animated figures that were programmed via audio code.

Im not sure whats going on with this photo, I was having trouble uploading it and now it's only a quarter of the picture. Anyway, the buildings circled in blue, are they going to be demolished? It seems the rest of the land area has been demo'd pretty well, but these buildings seem to be in the way.

There was a permit recently for refurbishment of at least part of that building, so it appears to be staying for now.

If that building is staying then how is TSL going to have an entrance to TSMM from behind TSMM

 

[marni1971]

The buildings in blue are going.

The building partly seen far upper left is staying.

This is the area to be cleared:

I'm sure it has been mentioned before (please forgive me for asking about it again) but why are they not demolishing that building and utilizing that space?

It will remain in use. As it stands neither land need the space.

Martin, any word on what will happen with the facades on the portions of SoA that are not demolished? Will they be left as is? Re-skinned to provide a more appropriate entrance to SWL?

Is all of this land to be used for TSL and/or SWL? That is a ton of space...

Judging off that I'm glad to see SciFi is staying, unless they returned it.

SOA is reported to be removed as well. For some reason they haven't done it yet...

Probably need to clear out the bleachers located at the former LMA first

 

[Goofyernmost]

It would make sense that the city facade would just be redressed as a segue into SWL. Same framework, different facade. They still have to hide the Muppets, but, I don't see that staying the way it is.

Oh of course. Then the REAL construction work can start...
