I saw that as well. Did you see this:

"Through a very aggressive schedule, your company succeeded in maintaining all milestones set forth. This project was full of unknowns, extensive field modifications, themed finishes, and level five finishes. Even with an excess of 400 directives and field changes, 50 percent of which affected Stowell, Bill and his lead foreman Dave, managed to complete this project with the quality that exceeded Disney's standards."

Aggresive schedule? Perhaps TDO is re-using a company that was able to work quickly with the intention of extending that track and adding something alongside it as well?



Same. It shouldn't take two years to replicate a 3rd track add on.

Outside of how big that area truly is - the other thought I have is Monsters Inc. If we directly lift it from DCA and place it the area of Soundstage One - does it fit?

Well the soundstage that TSMM is built out of, has a giant building attached to the back. The queue in is what encompasses the former soundstage. Everything else is another building.

Not now, but say in a few years there are many new attractions that makes TSMM a walk on ( yes how nice.) wouldn't you rather have 1 more ride there and have a decent wait for TSMM?

One more ride would do almost nothing for TSMM. Buzz Lightyear Space Ranger Spin opened in 1998 and look at the line for that interactive ride is always long.

TSMM has a repeatability because of it being interactive. Most people that ride it want to go right back on to see if they can get a higher score.

I personally would like to see increased capacity on TSMM before a new ride or show.

I know I am being insane but I would like to see the third track AND another Pixar ride (D or better) and then also the full Star Wars expansion. Then they have a fairly flushed out park. Still room for more but at least it wouldn't seem so empty. I do love alot that is there and visit every trip but no more than a day at most and usually 2/3 of day and that is with doing shows.

The only addition added to the soundstage for TSMM was a small section on the North end of the building between the old Backlot Tour walkway and Stage Lane where they added on about 30 feet.

Okay, so correct me if I'm wrong here:

Red is Toy Story - the second part of that builiding is empty, correct? Green is the start of the backlot tour, and everything to the left is backlot's show building.

Now that's Monster's Inc. Not saying I'm settling for it here, but I'm not seeing why that size of an attraction wouldn't fit in either next to TSMM or in the old Backlot large building redone.


You are correct.

The addition added for TSMM to the original soundstage is the small section left of the box that says "Map" in you first picture.

The section between the red and green outlines is SS1 which is what is in question. The unknown is will the TSMM expansion happen or will they move South into the old Backlot real estate and further expand "Pixarland"? I don't think Whiting-Turner gets involved in small projects.

IMO Monsters Inc Ride & Go Seek would fit there better rather than a TSMM Expansion...
