Toy Story Land expansion announced for Disney's Hollywood Studios

[Mike S]

As nice as it looks compared to the others Toy Story Land should not take 2 years for anyone to build other than Disney. Typical. This could've easily been ready for 2017.

That's what I was thinking. I was a bit disappointed by what TSL was offering, but then I realized it should be opened rather quickly and be a sort of relief for the park amidst the major makeover. But now that it's gonna go into 2018, there's really no reason to be super excited for this. Oh well, it'll open soon enough, now I'm a bit worried that this could delay Star Wars land...

I doubt they'll get it open before 2018. 2017 is Avatar's year, and 2019 is (wishful thinking?) for Star Wars, so from a marketing perspective, you've got three major lands opening three years in a row. Why rush? (From a executive's perspective, not mine)

Fallon, Furious, and a Volcano, oh my!!!

All next year.

I guess theoretically you could argue that the water parks are separate, so on a theme park level they'll be equal in attraction openings, but considering the state of DHS right now, it feels very lazy.

Not gonna get into the Universal vs Disney argument, or defend Disney on the slow construction. But isn't one of the reasons Universal gets everything done faster is because they don't use union workers compared to Disney who does use union workers? Which regardless I'm sure they could have two shifts of union workers but thats another discussion.

The Backlot Tour closed 18 months ago today.

Surely Toy Story Land is nearly complete by now?

Surely?

Just busy watching your "Disney MGM Studios - The Tours History - part 1 of 3" at the moment, and its groundbreaking was 30 years ago today as well!

I don't know about unions, but I do know Universal uses at least some of the same contractors that Disney uses.

They use a lot of the same contractors, vendors and even designers. Disney moves slower because of how they are organized.

Anyone think they will eventually replace the guns in TSMM with a "hold trigger and shoot constantly" versus "pull cord like maniac for several minutes and feel like you need carpal tunnel surgery" as soon as you get off the attraction?
LOL

2 years from actual start of construction.

If they would have started sooner we could of had it done for ToyStory 4

Toy story 4 opens in June 2018. Theoretically they still could have it done by then because that's more than two years away.

I still don't see it sorry.

Don't see what? It's been said toy story will take two years of construction. Toy story 4 opens in theaters in June 2018. If they were to start construction by June they could potentially have it done for the toy story 4 opening.

Not sure what the map has to do with construction times. Even at Disney pace, 2 years to build TSL isn't out of the question.

I don't understand your response. Is this supposed to be a snarky response as in a "Go ask Disney yourself" response?

No it isn't I'm just saying maybe if you chat with a cm or email them it might happen

Its a big space I'm seeing a 2019 opening

Do you have insider knowledge or is that just a flat out guess?
