I’m in DCA now and it’s a beautiful park…except the Avengers Campus and the retheme of Tower of Terror…absolutely awful it stands out so much and makes the park ugly and disjointed.
Thankfully, it was hideous as ToT, too. That thing was born ugly. A few years ago, Rohde just added (way too much) makeup.I’m in DCA now and it’s a beautiful park…except the Avengers Campus and the retheme of Tower of Terror…absolutely awful it stands out so much and makes the park ugly and disjointed.
I really couldn't speak to any of this directly. I'm a Cali transplant and what I can say is that I think the whole TSL space is a mess. The Anaheim bunch have rethemed the entire former Paradise Pier space into Pixar Pier. Despite this, it's still a more cohesive "land" than TSL. The Avengers campus space is an epic fail (There is enough Marvel IP material to create an entire Disney park so why squeeze it into a small portion of DCA?) and I haven't seen the new San Fransokyo area as it was rethemed after I left, but Cars Land and Pixar Pier are pretty amazing spaces. The Incredicoaster is a definite improvement over California Screamin'. I imagine they just do a better job of making use of the space because they have less of it. This is also true with MK vs DL. At WDW, they know they have more space than they can use so they don't think about using it efficiently. My .02, for what it's worth. (again, not directly responding to your comments, LOL!)Given that there's rumors of DHS possibly getting something(s)... I wanted to again bring up the forum's idea of relocating TriceraTop Spin from DAK with a Trixie retheme. I thought it was a great suggestion. Or, possibly adding a clone of Jessie's Critter Carousel for a quick fix. Either would give DHS some needed capacity. Unlikely of course but still fun to think about.
The hypothetical question would then be how to add it? Is Woody's Lunch Box redundant now that BBQ is there? Or could it be relocated elsewhere with TSL? I think if it were moved or removed there'd be just enough land to plop down a simple flat ride without impacting guest flow. An approx 400-450ft area to work with. It'd be doable, but would it be another Aladdin Spinner situation causing a bottleneck and congestion?
Something to toy with in any case. (Pun shamefully intended) Speaking of, it's a shame they wasted so much space in TSL.
Hard no on this. Mannequins and overused lines from the trailer for Incredibles 2 ("num num Cookie") do not a good attraction make. They could have done so much more with this. It's a cheap overlay in my opinion. Cali Scream all the way!The Incredicoaster is a definite improvement over California Screamin'.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion. I rode Screamin' for years and thought the re-theme was awesome. Gimme dat NUM-NUM Cookie at the end too! (got milk?) More or less the same with ToT to Guardians. When I heard that was taking place I was ed. I knew they were rushing to get a Guardians attraction in place in sync with the release of Vol 2. I still think the exterior work is hideous, but I have to confess that the actual ride is greatly improved and the interior theming is cool.Hard no on this.

If they were to do all those things DHS wouldn't be busting at the seams and the land would be more complete.Without expanding the footprint of the land, I could see them squeezing up to 4 small things in without too much effort

1. Easiest, just probably adding some netting to slinky
2. Destroys the current meet and great space
3. Some interesting pathing to get under and in the middle of Slinky, see emotional whirlwind at DCA. Also would have to make some room in here for slinky overflow Quene.
4. Altering the exit path of TSM could free up just enough land for something small. Personally I would also connect this path the Stage Ln so there is actually an alley of Toy Story land to explore.
If It was me: 1 would be Al's Toy Barn. 2 Jessie's critter carousel 3. Toy Solider parachute drop and Slinky extended Quene. 4 would be new meet and greet spot and a few snack/merch locations.
Just some of the pathing on 2,3,4 ideas:If they were to do all those things DHS wouldn't be busting at the seams and the land would be more complete.
So you propose reducing ride capacity at a park that needs more desperately. Because you think a play area would be “pretty chill”.I think if they closed the 3rd track of TSM (which takes up the southern half of the TSM building) and gutted it and replaced it with an indoor play area like LIttle Mermaid in TOkyo, but themed to Andys Toybox with a new entrance/exit on both sides giving a new entrance/exit to TSL from Pixar Alley, that would be pretty chill. ALso build some fake plants in giant pots and place them around the area for shade instead of umbrellas. A couple big fake plants could provide shade for 50% of the land easily. The blue is the new indoor toybox area and the yello are new entrance/exits also TSM would exit right into it as well. The white circles are where the giant fake potted plants would go. ALso the area between WOodys LB and the old exit pathway would be redone as well of course.
