Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

I am pretty sure this is not the whole story for the park. There is more to come at a later date.

makes sense...with LMA/SoA still unaccounted for...plus the recent closing of the Art of Animation, there is still a lot of things that need to fall into place to make this plan complete.

Been a long time since we've had this much anticipation and mystery with our beloved parks!

Oh I'm happy about this.

The unfortunate thing with all the work going into DHS and AK means I'm gonna spend more time at those parks. Guess it's going to be 8 nights instead of 6 now at WDW. Darn

The more I think about it the more I'm ok with Toy story land. DHS clearly needs more family attractions and the rides seem pretty cool. I think they'll add another land eventually but this is a clear win for DHS.

Yikes. This ugly nonsense for the once great Backlot area? I'll also have Mermaid and One Man's Dream over dueling spinners and family coaster 18.

I hope this is the case. If four new rides in two lands is all DHS gets, it's still going to have serious capacity issues.

The Star Wars land looks cool, but I'd like to see more on the ride concepts.

Two rides for Toy Story Playland surprised me. I figured we'd get at least three. Glad we got a better looking coaster than RC Racer.

Here's hoping we get some more Pixar or Indy love too....

I really am enjoying the concept art. I'm very excited. It is a MAJOR improvement over what we were expecting with Toy Story Playland. In the picture, bottom left, you can very clearly see where TSMM/Pixar Place is. This is also obviously phase one of the Pixar elements. There is SO much more real estate to take advantage of. And with Star Wars most likely taking over part of the parking lot, it will leave quite alot of space within the original perimeter. They basically said "hey there is a ton more coming (major reimagining of DHS) so here's step one." I am not disappointed in this at all.

We must not be looking at the same concept.

This does not account for one large parcel in the expansion we've been hearing about, so I think we will get one more land, they just are t ready to announce it. I think Toy Story Land will come first in a couple years and then LMA and Catastrophe Canyon will be demolished for the final component of the new park along with Star Wars Land. But, this is just a hunch.

Just curious as to why you state this. Just your opinion or are you looking at the 14 and 11 acre areas described and thinking that there is still more room unaccounted for?

Alien spinner ride is going to be like Mad Tea Party but way better

Yes all of the above and some other non-released information.

The coaster looks like a bit like a family version of Maverick at Cedar Point: https://www.cedarpoint.com/rides/Roller-Coasters/Maverick

 

[Dizzyfordisney2001]

I hope they add an Indy ride or even a land

 

[orlando678-]

Are they releasing info on Frozen Ever After too this year?

 

[flyerjab]

Yes all of the above and some other non-released information.

Thanks. I assume also, that this won't move ahead quite so fast due to everything happening in MK, DS and DAK. I have always been of the opinion that they want these areas to shine before DHS takes off. Everyone knows that Star Wars will overtake the spotlight for a bit when that opens.

I saw that they showed another piece of concept art and a Sven AA that was being made

 

[fuentesalex]

I made a map of the acres they discussed. The area behind Toy Story is 11 acres. The area around Star Tours (including Indy and some parking is 14 acres). There is still the area of LMA and Canynon. That is another 14 acres or so.

I'm praying that you're right. I really was hoping for more Pixar. It doesn't have to be RSR, but can we at least get an attraction based on another Pixar movie?

That's exactly what it looks like. Has Intamin track.
