How do you rank the lands in Hollywood Studios, and what is the best land? (poll)

[DisneyAndUniversalFan]

I just got back from another Orlando vacation and had an amazing time! It made me think what are the best lands in each park. I also see this hasn't been done a lot at least for a park like this one. This is the first of a few threads I will make for each of each park. We can also update this when Star Wars: Galaxy's Edge opens. How do you think they rank from the best to worst? These are just for fun! The lands are...

Hollywood Boulevard

Echo Lake

Grand Avenue

Commissary Lane

Toy Story Land

Animation Courtyard

Sunset Boulevard

I would consider Hollywood Blvd and Sunset Blvd as one land since they pertain to the same era/theme. But since they each take up a large area, I see why they are separate.

Regardless, the theming is great and transports you to a different time and place. I wish the entire park was based on variations of this theme and old Hollywood.

I was there Saturday and I'm at a lost of the hate that toy story land gets. Its Andy's playing with his toys.. I think they did this quite well.

It's one thing to completely disagree with others' take on Toy Story Land but to not understand their complaints shows a lack of awareness on your part.

Just as I find TSL terribly disappointing I fully recognize why others applaud it.

 

[eliza61nyc]

so my order would be.

1. Sunset Boulevard
2. Toy story land
3. commissary land (mainly because I love where it ends, lol muppets)

4)Hollywood boulevard
5)Grand ave
6) Echo lake.

We live in a free country and people can like or dislike what they choose. I like Blade Runner, I understand why others don't. I dislike The Fast and the Furious movies, I understand why others do. I like the new Toy Story Land, however I don't understand why others don't. I don't have to understand, I'm not obligated to understand, but your free to like or dislike.

 

[WDWmazprty]

This is definitely a hard choice....

 

[Michael T]

I don't know why, but I like Echo Lake a lot.

 

[JohnD]

Muppets.

I still say the Muppets are in Muppets Courtyard even if not officially named that anymore. Muppets Courtyard off Grand Ave, if you will.

You got needlessly hostile pretty fast. He didn't berate you or anyone who dislikes Toy Story Land. He simply said he doesn't understand why people dislike it. There are some things other people just don't understand.

One can like riding SDD and even get a kick out of Saucers just to see what music you get and still be disappointed that there isn't more to TSL. All that's left is TSMM, two gift kiosks, a CS, and restrooms.

 

[Damon7777]

I don't understand why others don't.

Then you, too, are unaware of the obvious.

I'm not obligated to understand,

Never said you or the other one for that matter was obligated

I didn't say anything regarding my opinion on Toy Story Land. The point I was making was that someone does not need to get hostile simply because someone doesn't understand why a crowd doesn't like Toy Story Land so long as that person is not being belligerent.

How about instead of being condescending, you politely explain why you are unsatisfied with Toy Story Land? Wouldn't you find that more productive?

Defensive aren't we? I think I was making a good point why one could be unsatisfied with TSL. I personally like the new rides but wish they could do more with the land. It doesn't have to be an either or. Also, why don't you move on. If I may, its seems you're now the one becoming belligerent.

No I actually agree that Toy Story Land doesn't exactly make sense in Hollywood Studios and it is kinda cheap and already falling apart. It also has no shade and its flagship attraction has already been in the park for 10 years. The land did turn out better than I expected but if someone doesn't understand and feels that the new land is perfect, that's fine.

I guess I am too, what are the obvious reasons we should not like toy story land??? lol 12 years of chemistry didn't prepare me I guess on the ins and outs of theme parks.

It was built in many ways as a quick addition to fill the gap until Star Wars opened. And it's been so overwhelmed with guests- really the crowds in that area of the park have been ridiculously crazy, I'm not surprised it's looking like parts of it are falling apart. There's been little opportunity to even keep it up.

It's about on a par with the version at Disneyland Paris. It's a neat area, not fantastic in it's theming, but it fits well with what they wanted to do and on a relatively small budget.

As someone who just came back from Disneyland Paris, no. Toy Story Land in Hollywood Studios, despite all my complaints, is miles above the Toy Story Land in Walt Disney Studio Park. It felt super cheap there and they're all off-the-shelf rides. Slinky Dog Dash, while not much above an off-the-shelf ride, is miles better than the Slinky Dog Spin. And Toy Story Midway Mania, despite being there 10 years prior to the land's opening, is a merit to the land.
