New coaster coming to Shanghai???

[thequeuelinelectures]

Reviving this thread... Will we see this be announced at D23? Seems like a sure bet

Was that really going to be outside though? I always imagined the city facades would be added inside the current show box. I can’t imagine the crazy work in retrofitting an indoor coaster to work outdoors and removing the whole box and such

i thought it was supposed to be outside but i could be wrong

It may have looked like that, but the coaster was still going to be 100% indoors.

Eh I don't know if we actually will. I would like to, but I think we'll just see updated concept art on Zootopia, maybe an animation of the ride, or a construction video of the actual vehicles testing; doubtful on the new coaster being announced

Did anyone see this?
What if it's Slinky Dog? Are they just renovating Toy Story Land or building something new?

Shanghai TSL looks dsmal and small on maps, and given how large every other area is and how much area there is to expand on, I could see them redoing and expanding TSL with SDD and more.

That's interesting. Albeit Slinky doesn't have a switch. Slinky Dog Dash is also redundant with RC Racers and Slinky Dog Spin.

The "games are coming" makes it seem like TSMM. Also the plot that I think is cordoned off would accommodate that attraction.

TSMM would also be something I'm sure they earmarked a plot for from the get-go.

Project @ just got approved by The Shanghai Municipal Development and Reform Commission. For refrence, Zootopia land received its approval about 6 month ahead of its official announcement.

Technically every coaster does have a track switch if you count the switch for the maintenance track lol

"Aite" might refer to "Aite Road."

Looks like it's a Vekoma coaster. Same reference to "Aite": https://coasterfriends.de/freizeitp...el-bereich-disneyland-shanghai-china.1225772/

So a new hotel currently under construction and a new coaster perhaps just six months away from beginning construction. Wow.

You would think they would take note and do the same for the western projects too and not announce them years ahead.

The more they add to Shanghai the sooner I will make the trip there.

The budget for project @ is 2.459 billion CNY (342 million USD).

Bumping this thread... do we have any other updates or movement on this project?
Zootopia seems like a success so I would assume Shanghai Disneyland is eager for more expansion

Interesting I heard that zootopia wasn’t meeting early projections with it basically just being “same number of guests but now they are in one more land”
