The theming fits perfectly on DCA's boardwalk but not so much on ours. Why can't they reconfigure ours to be a tour of the Pixar Studio offices to show you how animation is done when the Toy Story gang comes out of their computers and starts playing different games in different cubicles.

Just makes more sense:shrug:

-ahem-

When you think it through, OURS makes more sense.

DCA= Giant toys set up Midway games in a real life boardwalk?

MGM=Andy's toys set up a Midway playset under his bed.

1 and 2 did happen, number 3....well not so much. The store is not done yet and unless they busted rear over night it was not going to open today. I will be there tomorrow to see for sure.

I was under the impression this ride was not going to have a store? Are you refering to that hut that there building across the way from the attraction? That looks more akin to the Madam Leota cart that sits outside Haunted Mansion.

A barker on a midway makes perfect sense.

A giant bed inside a Pixar Studio facade with a barker indoors doesn't.

:ROFLOL:great poing of view. We are arguing about what makes more sense toys holding a carnival under a bed or on a midway. When none of it makes sense at all really.

oh well that is why the parks are great, they force you to suspend disbelief.

Yea, that makes sense. But how are the toys-people sized in the DCA one? In our story, we become Toy sized and enter their world.


I think both of them make sense, just saying....
:shrug:

(Thanks for the Update Nicole! Now we just have to figure out how two Laughing Place people got in...)

You're welcome. :)

I don't think the walls ever came down...they must have had some connections to get back there.


MGM's story might be better, but DCA's is much prettier.

The ride looks great, but I still think it'd be better without Toy Story. I can imagine the Studios version be done like "Movie Mania" where all the funhouse scenes are made to resemble scenes from various famous movies and you have to hit the targets in them. For DCA, it would have a simple carnival theme hosted by original whimsical characters. But oh well, that's just me...

Maybe Andy got a mighty microscope for his birthday and unbeknownst to him, it actually works. Now we're shrunk or they got larger, whatever fits the story better.

Can someone explain to me how why Disney set designers would want us to walk through a giant, oversized Bavarian castle painted in pastel colors, and then we get on a small flying pirate ship and suddenly we are flying over London? IT MAKES NO SENSE?!?! :confused:

:D

By the way, the Midway Mania complex at DCA looks amazing. And when you compare it to the bland and cheap buildings it is replacing, with more to come throughout Paradise Pier, then it looks super amazing. If this is the type of work DCA will be getting now that the Billion dollar makeover has been approved, then things are really looking up.

Midway Mania in DCA was approved and budgeted several years ago now, before the Billion Dollar Makeover was approved and budgeted in late 2007. Luckily MGM got on the Midway Mania bandwagon too and is getting their own version, but just the exterior building in DCA is an extremely good sign that things are going to change dramatically all over DCA.

I agree TP the midway building looks great and is definatly a step in the right direction it should look even better once the rest of the pier is completed.

The DCA verison has a store in the larger of the 2 rotundas. Its named Midway Mercantile.

You can see some pics of the unfinished store-

Inside looks nice, DCA really got the store themeing right when the park first opened(inside at least on most)
